The response of soil microbial communities to variation in annual precipitation depends on soil nutritional status in an oligotrophic desert
Background Soil microbial communities (SMC) play a central role in the structure and function of desert ecosystems. However, the high variability of annual precipitation could results in the alteration of SMC and related biological processes depending on soil water potential. The nature of the physi...
