Relations among soil microbial community composition, nitrogen turnover, and tree growth in N-loaded and previously N-loaded boreal spruce forest
Blasko, Robert; Högberg, Peter; Holm Bach, Lisbet; N. Högberg, Mona
Abstract
We propose that the higher gross N mineralization rate in N-loaded forest is not caused by greater decomposition of organic matter, but a higher internal turnover of microbial N. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
