title: Sex-specific interactions shape root phenolics and rhizosphere microbial communities
design: Three types of forest stands with four replicates were selected: 1) pure female plantations (PF); 2) plantations with randomly planted P. cathayana females and males at almost 1:1 mixture, i.e. mixed-sex plantation (MS) [including females (MF) and males (MM)]; and 3) pure male plantations (PM).
