Response of Soil Enzyme Activities to Natural Vegetation Restorations and Plantation Schemes in a Landslide-Prone Region

Soil enzyme activities in different plantation types and land use patterns could indicate changes soil quality. This research was aimed at exploring the dynamics of involved carbon, nitrogen phosphorus cycling, their responses to physicochemical properties resulting from natural vegetation restorations schemes. Knowing about effects on is crucial for understanding ecosystem functions processes. The study selected four main land-use (natural forestland, grassland, artificial grassland) one control plot (bare land) West Qinling Mountains, China, which a typical landslide region. We collected samples each type tested compared with land. results showed that both restoration schemes have significant activities. explained 92.2% variation restoration, while it only 77.8% Furthermore, had greater effect than
