Community leaf nutrient characteristics drive soil carbon stabilization by regulating soil nutrient and microbial community in a subtropical forest plantation

Abstract. Tree species diversity has been found to promote soil organic carbon (SOC) in forests, but its effects on SOC stability have been poorly studied.
