Response of the abundance of key soil microbial nitrogen-cycling genes to multi-factorial global changes.

Multiple co-occurring environmental changes are affecting soil nitrogen cycling processes, which are mainly mediated by microbes. While it is likely that various nitrogen-cycling functional groups will respond differently to such environmental changes, very little is known about their relative respo...
