Stand age and species traits alter the effects of understory removal on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics in subtropical Eucalyptus plantations
Litter decomposition is a crucial ecological process that regulates nutrient cycling. However, the effects of understory plants and overstory trees on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics are still poorly understood. We conducted understory plants removal and/or overstory trees removal to exam...
