Background:There is substantial evidence that Eucalyptus for nitrogen(N)absorption and increasing the growth benefit from the introduction of N-fixing species,but the underlying mechanisms for microbially mediated soil N cycling remains unclear.Methods:We investigated the changes of soil pH,soil water content(SWC),soil organic carbon(SOC),total N(TN),inorganic N(NH4+-N and NO3--N),microbial biomass and three N-degrading enzyme activities as well as the biomass and N productivity of Eucalyptus between a pure Eucalyptus urophylla×grandis plantation(PP)and a mixed Dalbergia odorifera and Eucalyptus plantation(MP)in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,China.Results:Compared with the PP site,soil pH,SWC,SOC and TN in both seasons were significantly higher at the MP site,which in turn enhanced microbial biomass and the activities of soil N-degrading enzymes.The stimulated microbial activity at the MP site likely accelerate soil N mineralization,providing more available N(NH4+-N in both seasons and NO3--N in the wet-hot season)for Eucalyptus absorption.Overall,the N productivity of Eucalyptus at the MP site was increased by 19.7％and 21.9％,promoting the biomass increases of 15.1％and 19.2％in the dry-cold season and wet-hot season,respectively.Conclusion:Our results reveal the importance of microbially mediated soil N cycling in the N absorption on Eucalyptus.Introduction of D.odorifera enhances Eucalyptus biomass and N productivity,improve soil N availability and increased soil C and N concentration,which hence can be considered to be an effective sustainable management option of Eucalyptus plantations.

Background:Forest is the largest biomass carbon(C)pool in China,taking up a substantial amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide.Although it is well understood that planted forests(PFs)act as a large C sink,the contribution of human management to C storage en

Background:Forest distribution in the forest-steppe of Mongolia depends on relief,permafrost,and climate,and is highly sensitive to climate change and anthropogenic disturbance.Forest fires and logging decreased the forest area in the forest-steppe of Mon

Background:Forest restoration has been considered an effective method to increase soil organic carbon(SOC),whereas it remains unclear whether long-term forest restoration will continuously increase SOC.Such large uncertainties may be mainly due to the lim
Background:Tree mortality and regeneration(seedling and sapling recruitment)are essential components of forest dynamics in arid regions,especially where subjected to serious eco-hydrological problems.In recent decades,the mortality of the Euphrates poplar
