Soil biochemical responses to nitrogen addition in a secondary evergreen broad-leaved forest ecosystem

Abstract In order to investigate the effects of N deposition on soil biochemistry in secondary forests, one N addition experiment was conducted in a secondary evergreen broad-leaved forest in the western edge of Sichuan Basin, with the highest level of background N deposition (about 95 kg N ha−1 yr−...
