Nitrogen Fertilizer Driven Bacterial Community Structure in a Semi-Arid Region of Northeast China
The soil nitrogen (N) cycle is an essential role of the biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria play an irreplaceable part in the soil N cycle, but the impact of different N gradients on bacterial communities remains unclear. The purpose of this research was to explore the bacterial abundance, community comp...

We investigated the bacterial abundance, diversity, community composition, and structure under five different N gradients (0, 90, 150, 210, and 270 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) using real-time quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing, and then explored bacterial functional groups with FAPROTAX.

The soil nitrogen (N) cycle is an essential role of the biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria play an irreplaceable part in the soil N cycle, but the impact of different N gradients on bacterial communities remains unclear.
