Final reminder: Abstracts for our @egubg.bsky.social session @egu.eu on #rootexudates are due Jan 15th!

Changes in relative abundance of bacterial phyla with different life-history strategies in response to nitrogen (N) addition and cessations of N addition, and their correlations with soil pH and metal ion levels.

🔎 Historical nitrogen (N) enrichment ➡️ Soil microbial communities: Effects & regulatory mechanisms

Results:
#SoilChemistry exerts a more significant influence on bacterial responses to nitrogen disturbances than #RootExudates.
