Amino acid and N mineralization dynamics in heathland soil after long-term warming and repetitive drought

Monomeric organic nitrogen (N) compounds such as free amino acids (FAAs) are an important resource for both plants and soil microorganisms and a source of ammonium (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>) via microbial FAA mineralization. We compared gross FAA dynamics with gross N miner...
