Mixed forests are usually associated with higher resource utilization compared to the corresponding monocultures; however, tree mixing effects of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) ecological stoichiometry in coastal forest ecosystems remains largely unknown. We C, N, P different ecosystem components (i.e., canopy layer, herb litter 0–20 cm and 20–40 soils) among two monocultures (Casuari...
