The mechanisms of the different responses of soil gross nitrogen (N) transformation to increasing temperature or moisture in different types of soils are still unclear. Here, we conducted two 15 N tracing experiments to investigate the effects of increasing temperature (15 °C and 25 °C) or moisture...
