Asymmetric effects of litter removal and litter addition on the structure and function of soil microbial communities in a managed pine forest
TL;DR: In this article, a two-factor nested experimental manipulation of pine litter and understory vegetation in a nutrient-poor Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation was conducted.

Non-additive effects of species mixing on litter mass loss and chemical properties in a Mongolian pine plantation of Northeast China
TL;DR: The results suggest that species composition and richness can mediate the decomposition and most chemical properties of mixed-species litter, which are not likely to be accurately predicted from component species decaying alone.

Species diversity and chemical properties of litter influence non-additive effects of litter mixtures on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling.
Bing Mao,Rong Mao,De-Hui Zeng +2 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that litter mixtures promoted soil microbial biomass N and soil respiration, and inhibited net N mineralization, highlighting the importance of functional diversity of litter on soil N cycling.
Effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and litter layer thickness on litter decomposition of two tree species in a semi-arid site of Northeast China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effects of UV radiation, litter layer thickness, and their interaction on the mass loss and chemical properties of decomposing litter from Xiaozhuan poplar and Mongolian pine plantations.

Understory vegetation interacts with nitrogen addition to affect soil phosphorus transformations in a nutrient-poor Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined soil P transformation characteristics (P fractions, adsorption capacity, and related soil physicochemical properties) in a nutrient-poor Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) plantation that has been subjected to six years of N addition and understory removal treatments in northern China.
