Quantitative response relationships between net nitrogen transformation rates and nitrogen functional genes during artificial vegetation restoration following agricultural abandonment

Abstract A comprehensive understanding of how microbial associated with nitrogen (N) cycling respond to artificial vegetation restoration is still lacking, particularly in arid to semi-arid degraded ecosystems. We compared soil net N mineralization rates and the abundance of bacteria, archaea, and e...
