Vertical differentiation of soil properties and microbial communities in long-term Eucalyptus grandis × urophylla plantations: surface diversity recovery does not offset deep-layer functional degradation
Aims Long-term Eucalyptus cultivation causes soil degradation, yet the vertical stratification of soil physicochemical properties and its impact on the vertical succession of microbial communities remain poorly understood. This study aimed to clarify the effects of long-term Eucalyptus planting on the vertical successi...
