Effect of Various Mulch Materials on Chemical Properties of Soil, Leaves and Shoot Characteristics in <i>Dendrocalamus Latiflorus</i> Munro Forests

The effectiveness of mulch treatments on soil quality as well as on the yield and growth rates of bamboo are major considerations and require further attention. The present work was aimed at assessing the impacts of three different mulch materials on soil available nutrients, biochemical traits, and...
