Mixing effects of understory plant litter on decomposition and nutrient release of tree litter in two plantations in Northeast China.

Mixing effects of understory plant litter on decomposition and nutrient release of tree litter in two plantations in Northeast China.

Understory vegetation plays a crucial role in carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems; however, it is not clear how understory species affect tree litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics. In this study, we examined the impacts of understory litter on the decomposition and nutrient releas...
