Differential Responses of Soil Microbial N-Cycling Functional Genes to 35 yr Applications of Chemical Fertilizer and Organic Manure in Wheat Field Soil on Loess Plateau

Fertilization changes nitrogen (N)-cycling processes and associated microbial communities in agricultural ecosystems. However, the long-term responses of N-cycling potential and microbial functional genes to different fertilization sources remain unclear. Soil samples were collected to a depth of 20...
