Soil microbial genomic responses to aridity-driven elemental imbalance across global biomes Open
Aridification is known to disrupt soil biogeochemical cycles by altering the stoichiometry of key elements, such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). However, how soil microbiome metabolically responds to these imbalances, and t…
