Effects of increased nitrogen deposition and rotation length on long-term productivity of Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation in southern China.

Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.has been widely planted in subtropical China to meet increasing timber demands, leading to short-rotation practices that deplete soil nutrients.However, increased nitrogen (N) deposition offsets soil N depletion.While long-term experimental data investigating the coupled effects related to short rotation practic
