Abstract

Soil microbial communities can affect plant nutrient uptake, productivity, and may even confer resistance to global change. Elevated atmospheric CO2 is widely expected to stimulate plant productivity; however, this will depend on the availability of growth limiting nutrients such as nitrogen. Soil microbial communities are the main mediators of soil nitrogen cycling and should therefore play a key role in influencing plant responses to elevated CO2.
