Soil physicochemical properties and bacterial community analysis in Schima superba plantations of different ages

In order to reveal the evolution characteristics of soil physical and chemical properties, enzyme activity, and bacterial community structure of Schima superba plantations at different forest ages, this study established standard plots in 10, 15, 27, 55, and 64 year old Schima superba plantations at the state-owned forest farm in Pushang, Fujian Province. The soil physical properties, nutrient content, enzyme activity, and bacterial community structure of Schima superba plantations at different forest ages were studied, To lay a foundation for in-depth understanding of the impact of development stage evolution on soil physical and chemical properties, enzyme activity, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus functional bacterial groups in Schima superba plantations, as well as the mutual feeding mechanism, and provide scientific basis for soil fertility maintenance and sustainable management of Schima superba plantations.
