Temperature-Dependent Nitrogen Mineralization in Contrasting Agricultural Zones: Soil Properties and Microbial Drivers
the objectives of this study were: i) to evaluate the differences in C and N mineralization kinetics of paddy soil in the Yangtze River Delta and Northeast China under different temperature regimes, ii) to reveal the soil-microbial-enzyme mechanisms driving regional (between-region) and local (within-region) Nm differences, and iii) to quantify the regional Q10 of Nm and Cm and their primary factors.
