Effects of Mixed Decomposition of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica and Morus alba Litter on Microbial Diversity
Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is widely planted in China as a windbreak and sand fixation tree. To improve the current situation of large-scale declines of forested areas planted as P. sylvestris var. mongolica monocultures, we investigated the biological and microbial effects of stand establishme...

description | Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica is widely planted in China as a windbreak and sand fixation tree. To improve the current situation of large-scale declines of forested areas planted as P. sylvestris var. mongolica monocultures, we investigated the biological and microbial effects of stand establishment using mixed tree species. The interactions during the mixed decomposition of the litter and leaves of different tree species are an important indicator in determining the relationships among species. In this experiment, a method of simulating the mixed decomposition of P. sylvestris var. mongolica and Morus alba litter under P. sylvestris var. mongolica forest was used to determine the total C, total N, and total P contents in the leaf litter, and the microbial structures were determined by using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing. It was found that with samples with different proportions of P. sylvestris var. mongolica and M. alba litters, the decomposition rate of P. sylvestris var. mongolica × M. alba litter was significantly higher than that of the pure P. sylvestris var. mongolica forest, and the microbial community and composition diversity of litter in a pure P. sylvestris var. mongolica forest could be significantly improved. The possibility of using M. alba as a mixed tree species to address the declines of pure P. sylvestris var. mongolica forest was verified to provide guidance for pure P. sylvestris var. mongolica forests by introducing tree species with coordinated interspecific relationships and creating a mixed forest. |
