Effects of even- versus uneven-aged tree species (Pinus massoniana and Castanopsis hystrix) mixing on microbial communities across bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, and fine roots
Our findings highlight that the effects of tree species mixing on microbial communities vary significantly with mixing mode, microhabitat, and microbial taxa, and these should be emphasized in future research and silvicultural practices.
