Soil bacteria are more sensitive than fungi in response to nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment.

ABSTRACT: Anthropogenic activities have dramatically increased nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) enrichments in terrestrial ecosystems. However, it is still unclear on how bacterial and fungal communities would respond to the simultaneously increased N and P enrichment. In this study, we used a field experiment to simulate N and P input, and examined the effects of N and P additions on the abundance, alpha-diversity, and community composition of soil bacteria and fungi in a riparian forest. Six nutrient-addition treatments, including low N (30 kg N ha^-1 year^-1), high N (150 kg N ha ^-1 year^-1), low P (30 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 year^-1), high P (150 kg P₂O₅ ha ^-1 year^-1), low N+P, hi
