Effect of forest planting patterns on the formation of soil organic carbon during litter lignocellulose degradation from a microbial perspective.

ABSTRACT: Litter decomposition is an important source of soil organic carbon, and it plays a key role in maintaining the stability of forest ecosystems. The microbial mechanism of soil organic carbon (SOC) formation in different urban forest planting patterns during litter lignocellulose degradation is still unclear. The key genes, microbes, and metabolites in the process of lignocellulose degradation and SOC formation were determined by metagenomics and metabolomics in different litter decomposition layers and soil layers in different urban forest planting patterns, including three types of broadleaf forests (BP forests), three types of coniferous forests (CP forests), and two types of mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests (MCBP forests). The results indicated that the cellulose, hemicellulose, an
