TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how vegetation recovery affects key soil properties and their relationships with free-living N2 fixation (FLNF) activity and nifH gene abundance, microbial community structure and network interactions at different soil depths from the surface to the rock-soil interface at the bottom of the soil profile.

TL;DR: In addition to the well-known direct contribution of N fertilization on crop yields, N input plays an indirect role on crop production via conditioning the resistance and resilience of soil functions in response to repeated DW cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, a temperature controlled closed chamber system with an infrared CO2 analyzer was used to measure the CO2 exchange in cropland and grassland ecosystems in a 3-month period between middle August and middle November 2006 at Kleinhohenheim, Germany.

TL;DR: The relationship between plant and soil elemental ratios of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) play a central role in shaping the composition and structure of microbial communities.

TL;DR: Drought stress controls soil organic matter decomposition and nutrient mobilization, as well as the competition between plant and microorganisms for nutrient uptake.
