Response of understory vegetation, tree regeneration, and soil quality to manipulated stand density in a Pinus massoniana plantation
Tree density affects species diversity in forest plantations. Understory species diversity, tree regeneration, and soil physicochemical characteristics were assessed under three planting densities of Pinus massoniana in Taizishan Mountains, Hubei, China. There was a higher degree of shrub and herb s...
