Plant-microorganism interactions have an important effect on plant growth and yield. However, how stand densities of Chinese fir plantations to drive change in the microbial structure remains unclear.
The microbial metabolic functional diversity of soils sampled at the topsoil (0–20 cm) of 35-year-old Chinese fir plantations of five initial densities (D1 1667 stems hm����2, D2 3333 stems hm����2, D
