Land use transition and its impact on ecosystem service value (ESV) are the foundation for optimizing the layout of territorial space and ecological civilization construction. With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the area of construction land expands in China. To accurately estimate the ESV in industrial counties, the impact of construction land on the ecological environment should be fully considered.

- A study was conducted in southern China to investigate how different tree species' leaf litter affects soil organic carbon (SOC) and microbial communities in a Pinus massoniana plantation over 28 months.
- The experiment found that while the overall chemical composition of SOC didn't change significantly right away, the type of leaf litter impacted specific microbial communities, particularly increasing some microbial and Gram-positive bacterial groups.
- Changes in the soil's alkyl/O-alkyl carbon composition were linked to total microbial and Gram-positive bacterial PLFAs, suggesting that varying forest leaf litter inputs can alter SOC stability through shifts in microbial composition.
