Nitrogen (N) deposition may change carbon (C) or nutrient limitation of soil microbes, but whether such change can be reflected by ecoenzymatic stoichiometry has not been well studied. Here, we synthesized data from 36 published studies to evaluate the responses of ecoenzymatic stoichiometry to N ad...
