Effects of Nitrogen Addition on Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency of Soil Aggregates in Abandoned Grassland on the Loess Plateau of China

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a crucial role in terrestrial C cycling. However, how microbial CUE responds to nitrogen addition and its mechanisms in soil aggregates from abandoned grassland systems remains poorly understood. In this study, we designed a nitrogen (N) addition expe...
