Soil microbial community assembly precedes vegetation development after drastic techniques to mitigate effects of nitrogen deposition

Oligotrophic semi-natural systems are threatened by high levels of nitrogen deposition. To mitigate these effects, drastic techniques such as sod-cutting and topsoil removal are applied to reduce nitrogen loads in existing systems and expand their area on former agricultural fields. We assessed the...
