Overview

Investigation reveals seasonal and disturbance effects on microbial biomass and nutrient dynamics in forests, indicating significant nutrient limitations.

Key Points

  • Microbial biomass and enzyme activities peaked in moderate disturbance stands during the monsoon.
  • Low and high disturbance stands showed reduced C: N and C: P ratios, indicating increased phosphorus limitation.
  • Depth analysis revealed constraints on carbon and phosphorus in deeper soil layers influencing microbial activity.
  • Findings highlight the importance of disturbance and seasonality in shaping nutrient cycling and ecosystem resilience.
