The Microbial Nitrogen Cycling, Bacterial Community Composition, and Functional Potential in a Natural Grassland Are Stable from Breaking Dormancy to Being Dormant Again

The Microbial Nitrogen Cycling, Bacterial Community Composition, and Functional Potential in a Natural Grassland Are Stable from Breaking Dormancy to Being Dormant Again

The quantity of grass-root exudates varies by season, suggesting temporal shifts in soil microbial community composition and activity across a growing season. We hypothesized that bacterial community and nitrogen cycle-associated prokaryotic gene expressions shift across three phases of the growing...
