In subtropical areas, broadleaf forests are being increasingly converted into Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests. However, few studies have systematically compared soil organic carbon (SOC) between broadleaf and Moso bamboo forests. Therefore, the authors investigated SOC content and relative contributions of microbial and plant residues to SOC in broadleaf and Moso bamboo forests using biomarkers.
