Effects of short-term drought, nitrogen application and their interactions on the composition and functional genes of soil microbial communities in alfalfa grassland on the Loess Plateau

Drought and nitrogen addition are important factors influencing soil microorganisms and changes in the soil environment. In the future, droughts will become more frequent, shorter, and more severe. However, little is known about the soil organic carbon components, enzyme activity, and composition, s...
