Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) were significantly positively correlated, and both declined with increasing nitrogen addition rates.

The significant decrease in soil #CO2Emissions with increasing #SoilDepth in old-growth #SubtropicalForests is primarily due to diminished microbial activity and reduced availability of substrates in deeper layers.
