Microorganisms mediate nutrient cycling in soils, and thus it is assumed that they largely
control responses of terrestrial ecosystems to anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Therefore, it is …

Soil microbial growth and activity are generally limited by availability of resources such
carbon (C), nitrogen (N), or phosphorus (P) in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how soil …

Human activities have increased nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs in terrestrial
ecosystems and altered carbon (C) availability, shifting the stoichiometry of microbial …

We investigated how conversion from conventional agriculture to organic management
affected the structure and biogeochemical function of soil microbial communities. We …

Rapidly increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition may affect plants, microbes, and
their interactions by changing soil physicochemical properties. A few studies have explored …

Arid shrublands are stressful environments, typified by alkaline soils low in organic matter,
with biologically-limiting extremes in water availability, temperature, and UV radiation. The …

Increased soil nitrogen (N) from atmospheric N deposition could change microbial
communities and functions. However, the underlying mechanisms and whether soil …

Fertilization affects soil microbial community by altering soil organic carbon (C) and nutrients
availability. However, it remains unclear how changes in stoichiometric C, N, and P ratios …

Background and aims Human activities have significantly increased nitrogen (N) and
phosphorous (P) inputs to terrestrial ecosystems. However, the impact of N and P …

Soil microorganisms are critical to ecosystem functioning and the maintenance of soil
fertility. However, despite global increases in the inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) …
