Effects of Vegetation Restoration on Soil Nitrogen Fractions and Enzyme Activities in Arable Land on Purple Soil Slopes
Published 2023-12-01“…In this study, the soil nutrient content, available N fractions (including microbial biomass N (MBN), ammonium N (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N), nitrate N (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>-N), and total dissolved N (TDN)), and enzyme activities (including urease (URE), nitrate reductase (NR), and nitrite reductase (NIR)) involved in N mineralization and immobilization were investigated across the three vegetation-restoration measures: <i>Camellia oleifera</i> monoculture, <i>Camellia oleifera</i> ryegrass intercropping, and <i>Camellia oleifera</i> intercropping with weeds. The results showed that the <i>Camellia oleifera</i> monoculture mode considerably enhanced the accumulation and availability of soil N and modified the proportion of available N fractions in arable land situated on purple soil slopes, compared to the intercropping mode, the physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of soil demonstrated more pronounced effects due to the <i>Camellia oleifera</i> monoculture vegetation-restoration measures. …”
