Mowing increased plant diversity but not soil microbial biomass under N-enriched environment in a temperate grassland

Aims The anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input has considerable consequences on soil microbial biomass, which is critical for biogeochemical cycling. As prevalent grassland management, mowing may reduce soil N storage, enhance plant biodiversity and soil microbial carbon (C) availability, all of which ar...
