Global patterns and drivers of soil microbial nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency - Nature Communications
Soil microbes recycle nutrients, but their global nutrient use efficiency is poorly understood. This study finds microbial nitrogen-use efficiency is nearly twice phosphorus-use efficiency, driven by soil carbon content, and is lowest in tundra and boreal forests.
