Microbial regulation of nitrogen dynamics along the hillslope of a natural forest

Microbial regulation of nitrogen dynamics along the hillslope of a natural forest

Topography affects the soil physicochemistry, soil N dynamics, and plant distribution and growth in forests. In Japan, many forests are found in mountainous areas and these traits are often highly variable along steep slopes. In this study, we investigated how the microbial population dynamics refle...
