Soil pH modulates microbial nitrogen allocation in soil via compositional and metabolic shifts across forests in Japan
This study reveals how soil pH regulates microbial N allocation in forest soils across Japan. We show that microbial abundance controls the overall rate of N cycling, while microbial composition and ...
