Elevated #StandDensity constrains #SoilOrganicCarbon (SOC) accumulation by reducing #LigninPhenol and #MicrobialNecromass carbon (C) content, and the negative effect of planting density on litter input reduced soil C content and #MicrobialCommunity.

Nitrogen deposition ➡️ #Home_fieldAdvantage (HFA) effect
Results:
1️⃣ N addition tended to weaken the HFA effect.
2️⃣ Soil acidification driven by N inputs indirectly reduces HFA through altering bacterial communities.

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.
