Stand structure changes with forest age caused the variation of soil microenvironment,which can directly or indirectly affect soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen,and soil enzyme activities. To better understand the change characteristics of soil microbial biomass contents and enzyme activities along an age sequence of spruce plantations,this study was conducted to evaluate the theoretical basis for restoration and effective management of subalpine plantations. In this study,Picea asperata plantations of various ages (25,40,50,and 60 year...
