Effects of Mixing Tree Species on Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon-Use Efficiency in Eroded Masson Pine Forest by WANG Man, JIANG Yongmeng, ZHANG Shiliang, ZHANG Jinxiu, ZHENG Linmin, ZENG Zhiwei, LYU Maokui, XIE Jinsheng

“…Specifically, compared with that of Y39-CF and Y19-MF, CUE of Y39-MF significantly increased by 200.00% and 136.84%, respectively. (3) By analyzing the characteristics of soil enzyme activity and the relationship between CUE and environmental factors, it was found that soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus availability was an important influencing factor, mainly affecting AP activity, C∶PEEA, N∶PEEA, VL, VA and CUE, while the stoichiometric ratio of soil nutrients mainly affected βG activity and C∶NEEA. (4) The results of redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the ratio of fungi and bacteria mainly affected the characteristics of soil enzyme activity and CUE in the mixed forest, while the main influencing factors in pure forest were actinomyces and Gram-negative bacteria. …”
