Legumes play an ground. important role in the nitrogen cycle of forest ecosystems. Two litter types were chosen from Zijin Mountain in Keywords Leguminous forest Æ Litter decomposition Æ China: Robinia pseudoacacia leaves from a leguminous Nitrogen addition Æ Soil enzyme activities Æ Soil forest (LF) and Liquidambar formosana leaves from a microbial biomass non-leguminous forest (NF). The litter samples were mixed into original forest soils and incubated in micro- cosms. Then, they were treated by five forms of N Introduction addition: NH4 +, NO3, urea, glycine, and a mixture of all four. During a 6-month incubation period, litter mass With the continuing increase in human activities in re- losses, soil microbial biomass, soil pH, and enzyme cent decades, there are induced climate and environ- activities were investigated. Results showed that mixed mental changes on a global scale, such as the elevated N and NO3-N addition significantly accelerated the atmospheric nitro
