Response of plant diversity and soil physicochemical properties to different gap sizes in a Pinus massoniana plantation

As one means of close-to-nature management, forest gaps have an important impact on the ecological service function of plantations. To improve the current situation of P. massoniana plantations, three different sizes of forest gaps (large gaps, medium gaps and small gaps) were established to observe...
