The impact of tree species on net N and P mineralization, and soil properties beneath their canopy were studied in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest of northeastern India. Four types of experimental plots were identified based on tree species dominance. The first plot was dominated by Myrica esculenta Buch.-IIam. ex D. Don., the second by Rhododendron arboreum Sm., the third by Neolitsea cassia Koster., and the fourth was a mixed-species plot. Organic carbon content (3.11%) and NH(4)(+)-N concentration (11.40 mu g (.) g(-1)) in the Rhododendron plot, pH ( 4.64) and total N content ( 0.89%) in the mixed plot, available P (5.16 mu g (.) g(-1)) and NO(3)-(-) N (8.63 mu g (.) g(-1)) concentrations in the Neolitsea plot were significantly higher ( p < 0.001) than the other plots. All these soil parameters were lowest in the Myrica plot. The net N and P mineralization rates in an annual cycle across different plots ranged between 18.83 and 22.14 mu g (.) g(-1) (.) month(-1) and between 4.54 and 5.87 mu g (.) g(-1) (.) month(-1), respectively. The flux varied significantly ( p < 0.001) among the plots, the lowest and highest being in the Myrica plot and mixed plots, respectively. The differences in soil properties and in net N and P mineralization among different species plots were related to litter quality and yield of the respective species as well as soil microenvironment.
