Methods

Samples from location HSFZH01: The destructive sampling site at Mazhan Xiangsi Forest Comprehensive Observation Field was established in 1984 at an elevation of 55m, covering an area of 1800 square meter. Due to the hilly terrain of the observation field, small areas of 20m×40m, 20m×20m, and 20m×30m were divided for destructive sampling of both biota and soil, with a soil sampling design intended for 100 years. Soil sampling involved placing PVC plastic stakes around rectangular areas of 20m×40m, 20m×20m, and 20m×30m using nylon ropes, divided into 36 sampling plots of 10m×5m. The plots were further divided into six sections (upper, middle, and lower; left, middle, and right), and one sample was randomly selected from each section for a total of 6 replicates. Samples from location HSFFZ01: The destructive sampling site at Xiangtu Lin Auxiliary Observation Field was established in 1984 at an elevation of 60m, covering an area of 1200 square meter with a 30m×40m plot. The soil sampling site included one primary plot (?-level) of 1200m2, consisting of 24 secondary plots (?-level) measuring 5m×10m each. For each sampling event, 6 replicates were randomly selected from the upper left (1-4), lower left (5-8), upper middle (9-12), lower middle (13-16), upper right (17-20), and lower right (21-24) plots. Each replicate sample consisted of 10 composite sampling points. Samples from location HSFZQ01: The destructive sampling site at Coniferous Forest Station Area Survey Point was established in 2004 at an elevation of 55m, covering an area of 1200 square meter. Due to the diverse and hilly terrain of the observation field, three 20m×20m plots were designated for destructive sampling of biota and soil. The soil sampling site included one primary plot (?-level) with an area of 1200m2, comprising 24 secondary plots (?-level) measuring 5m×10m each. For each sampling event, 6 replicates were randomly selected from the upper left (1-4), lower left (5-8), upper middle (9-12), lower middle (13-16), upper right (17-20), and lower right (21-24) plots. Each replicate sample consisted of 10 composite sampling points.
