Effects of warming and nitrogen addition on soil fungal and bacterial community structures in a temperate meadow.

ABSTRACT: Soil microbial communities have been influenced by global changes, which might negatively regulate aboveground communities and affect nutrient resource cycling. However, the influence of warming and nitrogen (N) addition and their combined effects on soil microbial community composition and structure are still not well understood. To explore the effect of warming and N addition on the composition and structure of soil microbial communities, a five-year field experiment was conducted in a temperate meadow. We examined the responses of soil fungal and bacterial community compositions and structures to warming and N addition using ITS gene and 16S rRNA gene MiSeq sequencing methods, respectively. Warming and N addition not only increased the diversity of soil fungal species but also affected
