Nitrogen (N) fertilization is an important factor that affects soil microbial community and cereal production. This study aims to explore the impact of long-term N fertilization on soil bacterial diversity, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and the grain yield of wheat in the semiarid region of Loess Plateau, China. The field experiment was conducted from 2003 to 2018 including five N treatments: 0 (N0), 52.5 (N52.5), 105 (N105), 157.5 (N157.5), and 210 (N210) kg N ha publisher: MDPI date: 2020-08 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/11552/1/Xu%20et%20al%20published%202020.pdf identifier: Xu, A and Li, L and Coulter, J A and Xie, J and Gopalakrishnan, S and Zhang, R and Luo, Z and Cai, L and Liu, C and Wang, L and Khan, S (2020) Long-Term Nitrogen Fertilization Impacts on Soil Bacteria, Grain Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Wheat in Semiarid Loess Plateau, China.
