Influence of Tree Spacing on Soil Nitrogen Mineralization and Availability in Hybrid Poplar Plantations

Influence of Tree Spacing on Soil Nitrogen Mineralization and Availability in Hybrid Poplar Plantations

Nitrogen (N) availability and mineralization are key parameters and transformation processes that impact plant growth and forest productivity. We hypothesized that suitable plantation spacing can lead to enhanced soil N mineralization and nitrification, which in turn promote tree growth. Studies wer...
