Forest gaps mediate the structure and function of the soil microbial community in a Castanopsis kawakamii forest

Forest gaps affect the soil microbial community structure and soil function by altering the ambient environment. This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on soil microbial communities and enzyme activities in Castanopsis kawakamii forest gaps. The soil properties, soil enzyme...
