Effects of Mixed Decomposition of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica and Morus alba Litter on Microbial Diversity.

ABSTRACT: Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is widely planted in China as a windbreak and sand fixation tree. To improve the current situation of large-scale declines of forested areas planted as P. sylvestris var. mongolica monocultures, we investigated the biological and microbial effects of stand establishment using mixed tree species. The interactions during the mixed decomposition of the litter and leaves of different tree species are an important indicator in determining the relationships among species. In this experiment, a method of simulating the mixed decomposition of P. sylvestris var. mongolica and Morus alba litter under P. sylvestris var. mongolica forest was used to determine the total C, total N, and total P contents in the
