Climate and geology overwrite land use effects on soil organic nitrogen cycling on a continental scale

<p>Soil fertility and plant productivity are globally constrained by N availability. Proteins are the largest N reservoir in soils, and the cleavage of proteins into small peptides and amino acids has been shown to be the rate-limiting step in the terrestrial N cycle. However, we are still lac...
