Functional diversity mediates the nonlinear relationship between tree species richness and soil denitrification in young subtropical forests
Soil denitrification is strongly linked to soil nitrogen availability and influences nitrate leaching and greenhouse gas emissions. In turn, it can be regulated by ecosystem productivity through plant nitrogen uptake and organic matter inputs. However, the specific effects of tree diversity on soil denitrificat...
