Five-Year Nitrogen Addition Alters Surface Mineral Soil Carbon Status and Respiration Partitioning in an Alpine Coniferous Forest

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is increasing N inputs to forests, but consequences for soil carbon (C) status and respiration partitioning remain uncertain. We conducted a five-year field N-addition experiment in an alpine coniferous forest in Xizang, China. We measured post-treatment soil properties, extracellula...

Effects of Simulated Nitrogen Deposition on Soil Nutrients, Microbial Biomass and Enzyme Activities in Abies georgei var. smithii Forest

Nitrogen deposition has emerged as a significant threat to alpine forest ecosystems on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. However, the specific responses of subalpine fir soil to increasing nitrogen input remain relatively unknown. To investigate the effects of simulated nitrogen (N) deposition on the soil ecosystem of Abies...
