Effects of nitrogen deposition on the spatial pattern of biocrusts and soil microbial activity in a semi‐arid Mediterranean shrubland

2020-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Human activities have doubled, or even tripled, the amount of nitrogen (N) fixed globally, which alters the functioning and reduces the biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we used a 10‐year N addition experiment in a semi‐arid Mediterranean shrubland in central Spain to evaluate the effects of increased N deposition on biocrust cover, soil microbial enzymatic activity and their spatial patterns....
