Microbial Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought: Field Study of Functional Gene Abundance and Flux

Abstract

There is real interest in microbial nitrogen cycling under drought right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers
the most value. We pull together the current evidence for microbial nitrogen cycling under drought, covering the methodological,
practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and reviewers
are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered
here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
