Effects of gaps in the forest canopy on soil microbial communities and enzyme activity in a Chinese pine forest
Pedobiologia(2017)
Abstract
•Small (40–50m2) canopy gaps promote soil microbial communities and enzyme activity.•Gram-positive bacteria and dissolved organic carbon levels drove the variations.•Enzyme activity was lowest in the large gaps (100–120m2).•Fungal phospholipid fatty acids remained stable among the sites.
