Positive effects of plant diversity on soil microbial biomass and activity are associated with more root biomass production
This study aims to explore relationships between plant diversity and soil microbial function and the factors that mediate the relationships. Artificial plant communities (1, 2, 4 and 8 species) were established filled with natural and mine tailing soils, respectively. After 12 months, the plant spec...
