Abstract
⺠Understory removal changed soil decomposer communities and litter decomposition. ⺠Understory removal increased soil temperature and reduced soil moisture. ⺠The effects of understory removal were more pronounced than canopy tree removal. ⺠Soil microclimates change may be responsible for changes of other measured variables. ⺠Dicranopteris-dominated understory is a major driver of intensive forest ecosystem.
