Combined effects of acidification and warming on soil denitrification and microbial community.

ABSTRACT: In light of the challenges posed by contemporary global warming and soil acidification, the respective effects of pH and temperature on soil microbiome and functions have been explored. However, the combined influence of acidification and warming on soil denitrification and active microbial communities are still unclear. Here, we conducted a microcosm experiment to investigate the influences of increasing temperature and acidification on active microbes such as bacteria and eukaryotic microbes. Denitrification rate in soil were detected using a C₂H₂ inhibition method. The results showed that the Shannon index of bacterial communities exhibited significant enhancement in response to warming and acidification, whereas their community patterns were predominantly shaped b
