Description:
Nitrogen availability regulates topsoil carbon dynamics after permafrost thaw by altering microbial metabolic efficiency Nitrogen availability regulates topsoil carbon dynamics after permafrost thaw by altering microbial metabolic efficiency, Published online: 27 September 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-06232-y Soil nitrogen availability may alter carbon dynamics after permafrost thaw, but experimental evidence for this carbon-nitrogen interaction is still lacking. Here the authors show that elevated post-thaw nitrogen availability inhibits soil carbon release through its enhancement in microbial metabolic efficiency.
