Soil nitrogen mineralisation (N<sub>min</sub>), the conversion of organic into inorganic N, is important for productivity and nutrient cycling. The balance between mineralisation and immobilisation (net N<sub>min</sub>) varies with soil properties and climate. However, because most global-scale assessments of net N<sub>min</sub> are laboratory-based, its regulation under field-conditions and implications for real-world soil functioning remain uncertain. Here, we explore the drivers of realised ( ...[more]
