Effects of Mixing Tree Species on Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon-Use Efficiency in Eroded Masson Pine Forest by WANG Man, JIANG Yongmeng, ZHANG Shiliang, ZHANG Jinxiu, ZHENG Linmin, ZENG Zhiwei, LYU Maokui, XIE Jinsheng

“…[Results] (1) With the increase of restoration years, soil acid phosphatase (AP) and β-glucosidase (βG) activities were significantly reduced, while C∶NEEA (βG∶NAG), vector length (VL) and vector angle (VA) of the mixed forest were lower than that of pure forest, while C∶PEEA (βG∶AP) and N∶PEEA (NAG∶AP) showed the opposite trend, indicating that long-term mixing is beneficial to alleviate the carbon limitation and phosphorus limitation of microorganisms. (2) Mixing was beneficial to improve CUE and significantly increased with the increase of forest age. …”
