Phosphorus deposition accelerates wood decomposition and temperature sensitivity in a subtropical forest

Phosphorus (P) deposition plays a vital role in determining forest productivity and influencing microbial decomposer communities and activities. Wood plays a key role in forest carbon (C) dynamics because it contains a sizeable proportion of total forest C. However, the effects of increasing P depos...

Phosphorus deposition accelerates wood decomposition and temperature sensitivity in a subtropical forest
description Phosphorus (P) deposition plays a vital role in determining forest productivity and influencing microbial decomposer communities and activities. Wood plays a key role in forest carbon (C) dynamics because it contains a sizeable proportion of total forest C. However, the effects of increasing P deposition on wood respiration (Rw) in subtropical evergreen forests are still unclear. In this study, we conducted a four-year field factorial fertilization experiment in a subtropical Chinese evergreen forest to investigate the influences of simulated changes in P deposition at three levels (e.g., 0 (control), 30 (P1), and 60 (P2) kg P/ha/yr) on the Rw of Lithocarpus glaber (Thunb.)
