Tree species identity affects soil P bioavailability by altering labile organic P after tree mixing in subtropical China Eur. J. Soil Sci. (IF 4.0) Pub Date : 2024-09-03 Piaoyun Deng, Yunchao Zhou, Fenghua Tang, Wensha Chen
Converting monocultures to mixed plantations has been emphasized to improve ecosystem productivity and services. However, the impact of tree species identity on phosphorus (P) bioavailability in acidic soils in subtropical China, where P is relatively scarce, is not fully understood. This study explored the changes in soil biologically‐based P fractions and the effect of mineral and microbial properties
