Conceptual model of the effects of nitrogen (N) addition on microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) across soil depths.

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) were significantly positively correlated, and both declined with increasing nitrogen addition rates.
