Root-Litter Interactions and Nutrient Addition Modulate Soil Microbial Biomass and Labile Organic Carbon Dynamics in a Subtropical Moist Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest
Soil microbial biomass and labile organic carbon (LOC) are pivotal regulators of carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. However, the interactive effects of plant roots and forest litter on the seasonal dynamics of soil microbial biomass and LOC still remain poorly quantified, particularly in nutrient-poor su...
