The effects of broad-leaved tree species on litter quality and soil properties in a plain forest stand
Y Kooch, B Samadzadeh, SM Hosseini - Catena, 2017 - Elsevier
The role of tree species on litter quality and soil characters is less known in mixed forest
stand. For this reason, the effect of Carpinus betulus (CB), Acer velutinum (AV), Pterocarya …
