Abstract
⺠Microbial sensitivity to moisture variability increases with grassland MAP. ⺠Microbial communities in mesic grassland soils utilized N-free protective solutes. ⺠Upon osmotic downshock microbes rapidly catabolized protective solutes. ⺠High moisture variability led to temporal decoupling of nitrification and denitrification. ⺠Protective solutes represent a significant proportion of total C and N cycling.
