Microbially‐Mediated Soil Carbon‐Nitrogen Dynamics in Response to Future Soil Moisture Change by Wanyu Li, Gangsheng Wang, Zirui Mu, Shanshan Qi, Shuhao Zhou, Daifeng Xiang

“…Furthermore, microbes and enzymes were key drivers of soil C‐N transformations, with soil enzymes displaying the highest correlation with SSI (nonlinear correlation coefficient based on mutual information = 0.81). This study establishes a foundational relationship between soil C‐N variables and soil moisture, accounting for lag effects, to enhance our understanding of the complex responses of these variables under future climate change scenarios.…”
