The effects of thinning on soil active organic carbon and related soil enzyme activities were investigated in a Larix principis-rupprechtii plantation in Taiyue Mountain. With the increases of soil depth, the content of soil labile organic carbon, soil nitrogen content and enzyme activities all
To study the physiological mechanisms in environment adaptation of alpine trees, the antioxidase activities and photosynthetic pigment contents in Larix principis-rupprechtii leaves along an altitudinal gradient from 1 600 m to 2 800 m at Pangquangou National Nature Reserve were investigated. The
Soil microbial communities and their associated enzyme activities play key roles in carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbial communities are sensitive to resource availability, but the mechanisms of microbial regulation have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we
