Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association Twig litter in the mixed forest decomposed faster than in the pure forest.
- Association Beta-cellobiosidase and N-acetyl-glucosamidase had higher activities in the mixed forest in both leaf and twig litter.
- Association Phosphatase, beta-glucosidase and beta-xylosidase activities were higher in the pure forest.
- Association Fungal alpha-diversity was higher in both litters in the pure forest than in the mixed forest.
- Association Alpha-diversity was higher in leaf litter than in twig litter.
- Association Fungal species richness and alpha-diversity in leaf litter increased as decomposition progressed.
- Observation Basidiomycota dominated leaf litter in the mixed forest.
- Observation Ascomycota dominated leaf litter in the pure forest.
- Association Symbiotroph and ectomycorrhizal fungi were more abundant in the mixed forest than in the pure forest.
- Observation Genes related to phosphorus cycling were the most abundant gene group in both forests in the third year.
- Association The pure forest had a higher abundance of cex and gcd genes.
- Observation The fungal functional community structure in the first year of decomposition differed from that in the next two years.
- Mechanism Tree species, litter quality and decomposition time influence litter decomposition by attracting different fungal communities.
