The effects of plant secondary metabolites from coniferous needle leaf litter on the leaf litter decomposition of Betula albo-sinensis burk

In this study, leaf litters of Betula albo-sinensis and 5 coniferous species were used as samples. The B. albo-sinensis leaf litter was buried in soil and termly treated with the water extracts of five types of coniferous leaf litter for a 6-month simulation decomposition experiment. The dynamics of...

The results indicated that the extracts of Pinus tabuliformis, Platycladus orientalis, P. armandii and Larix principis-rupprechtii leaf litters significantly inhibited the whole decomposition process and overall nutrients release of B. albo-sinensis leaf litter, while the extracts of Picea asperata leaf litter exhibited no significant influence.
