Shifts in bacterial traits under chronic nitrogen deposition align with soil processes in arbuscular, but not ectomycorrhizal‐associated trees
Chronic nitrogen (N) deposition reduced carbon (C) and N uptake across bacterial taxa in arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhizal-dominated forests (ECM). Reductions in C and N uptake occurred more homoge....
