Implementing thinning practices can enhance the growth of plantation forests and improve soil health. Nevertheless, impacts applications on quality, large-diameter timber production Castanopsis hystrix, ecosystem multifunctionality are poorly understood. Therefore, we chose two sample plots, unthinned (control) thinned, to investigate productivity after for six years. Results revealed that significantly reduced soil’s bulk density, enhanced growth, undermined in short term compared control (unthinning) treatment. Compared control, treatment considerably organic carbon (0–30 cm layer) tree diameter at breast height (20–30 cm), shrub leaf nitrogen (N), root N, herb aboveground Gram-positive bacteria (0–10 layer), contents by 29.61%, 65.29%, 44.61%, 274.35%, 323.44%, respectively. Furthermore, application could N P resorption efficiency more than control. with maximized decomposition nutrient cycling function 11.81% 143.40%, Moreover, total PLFA content stocks, wood production, water regulation functions. In conclusion, this study underscores considerable potential augmenting stimulating positive effects forest stands. These findings provide valuable insights elevation judicious forestry productivity, facilitating sustainable development sector.

ABSTRACT Carbon storage in subtropical forests results from multiple interacting factors, including biodiversity attributes—such as species diversity, functional traits, and stand structural diversity—and environmental conditions like climate, topography, soil characteristics. Biodiversity typically influences forest carbon through two primary mechanisms: niche complementarity (complementary utilization of resources among species) selection effects (dominance with specific traits). However, the relative importance these mechanisms involving under varying remains unclear. This study assessed diversity attributes within tree, shrub, herb layers across three types: coniferous, coniferous/broad‐leaved mixed, broad‐leaved forests. We quantified aboveground, belowground, total examined relationships between storage, impact factors on relationships. Our findings showed that were more conducive to creating storage. In forests, belowground carbon, a major component was most affected by followed diversity. Functional strongly exerted aboveground stocks, trait composition factors. Environmental directly also indirectly influenced it plant attributes. Notably, layer exhibited significant linear correlation indicate contribute fixation, being predominant. Based findings, we recommend afforestation policies prioritize enhancing tree improve sequestration, evergreen represent zonal climax vegetation, while acknowledging understory vegetation. Thus, context global climate change, is imperative thoroughly evaluate sequestration ecosystems.

Determining which species to utilize for the artificial restoration of subtropical secondary forests has become a focal point in forestry and ecology. To compare effects forest model on soil microbial nutrient acquisition limitation, we examined (CKs), evergreen coniferous (GCPs), mixed broad-leaved (GCBMs), (GBMs), natural deciduous (DBMs) as research subjects. Among them, GCPs, GCBMs, GBMs were dominated by early, middle, climax stages succession, respectively. The activities stoichiometry β-1,4-glucosidase (BG), β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), acid phosphatase (ACP) topsoil analyzed. results showed that type significantly affects BG LAP rather than NAG or ACP. activity DBMs was lowest, while CKs higher plantations. Furthermore, limitation microbes quantitatively analyzed using vector analysis enzyme stoichiometry. study area co-limited C P, order > P N. forests, stoichiometric ratios GCPs closest 1:1:1. From GBMs, increased, decreased. slightly lower CKs. Overall, plantations less bulk density, C/P, N/P influenced These suggest alleviated offered potential alleviating limitation. Compared with species, employing pioneer mid-successional can better achieve balanced requirements.
