Nitrogen additions and microbial biomass: A meta‐analysis of ecosystem studies

KK Treseder - Ecology letters, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Nitrogen (N) enrichment is an element of global change that could influence the growth and

Global negative effects of nitrogen deposition on soil microbes

T Zhang, HYH Chen, H Ruan - The ISME journal, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Soil microbes comprise a large portion of the genetic diversity on Earth and influence a large

Patterns and mechanisms of responses by soil microbial communities to nitrogen addition

Z Zhou, C Wang, M Zheng, L Jiang, Y Luo - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2017 - Elsevier
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is expected to increase substantially and
continuously in the future. Soil N availability regulates microbial communities and the …

Consistent effects of nitrogen amendments on soil microbial communities and processes across biomes

KS Ramirez, JM Craine, N Fierer - Global change biology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library

anthropogenic activities with the added N having potentially important impacts on …

[HTML][HTML] Soil microbial responses to nitrogen addition in arid ecosystems

RL Sinsabaugh, J Belnap, J Rudgers… - Frontiers in …, 2015 - frontiersin.org
The N cycle of arid ecosystems is influenced by low soil organic matter, high soil pH, and
extremes in water potential and temperature that lead to open canopies and development of …

Anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment enhances soil carbon accumulation by impacting saprotrophs rather than ectomycorrhizal fungal activity

NI Maaroufi, A Nordin, K Palmqvist… - Global Change …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
There is evidence that anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition enhances carbon (C)
sequestration in boreal forest soils. However, it is unclear how free‐living saprotrophs …

Mineral nitrogen input decreases microbial biomass in soils under grasslands but not annual crops

D Geisseler, PA Lazicki, KM Scow - Applied soil ecology, 2016 - Elsevier
Anthropogenic inputs of reactive nitrogen (N) to terrestrial ecosystems have increased
considerably over the past several decades. Soil microorganisms provide numerous …

Decreasing soil microbial diversity is associated with decreasing microbial biomass under nitrogen addition

C Wang, D Liu, E Bai - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018 - Elsevier
While aboveground biodiversity has been widely studied, how microbial biodiversity
responds to increasing nitrogen (N) deposition is still unclear. Here we conducted a meta …

Decoupling of soil microbes and plants with increasing anthropogenic nitrogen inputs in a temperate steppe

W Liu, L Jiang, S Hu, L Li, L Liu, S Wan - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2014 - Elsevier
Plant growth and soil microbial activity are intrinsically correlated. Numerous evidence
shows that nitrogen (N) deposition can greatly alter both processes. However, it is unknown …

Response and driving factors of soil microbial diversity related to global nitrogen addition
