Relative contribution of microbial traits, soil carbon content, soil mineral protection and plant composition to plant lignin phenols (a) and microbial necromass (b).
Elevated #StandDensity constrains #SoilOrganicCarbon (SOC) accumulation by reducing #LigninPhenol and #MicrobialNecromass carbon (C) content, and the negative effect of planting density on litter input reduced soil C content and #MicrobialCommunity.
