Impacts of Long-Term Thinning and Mixed Plantation Practices of Broadleaf Trees on Soil Carbon, Nitrogen Dynamics and Microbial Function in Eucalyptus Forests

Monoculture of Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis negatively impacts soil and forest ecosystems. Mixed plantations with thinning practices are proposed to improve soil fertility, though their effects on soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and microbial func
