Abstract Lime application (liming) has historically been used to ameliorate soil acidity in grasslands. Liming effectively improves pH, plant productivity, and physicochemical properties, but the long-term impact of control by liming on key microbial nitrogen (N)-cycling genes semi-natural grasslands is unknown. We investigated effect 65 years N-cycling processes limed plots Ossekampen grassland experiment Netherlands. These have not received any other fertilizers for years. Soil sampling nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission measurements were conducted three times spring four summer, quantitative real-time PCR was performed determine absolute abundances genes, including ammonia-oxidation ( amoA -AOB, -AOA, -comammox), denitrification nirS , nirK nosZ ), nitrate ammonification nrfA N-fixation nifH ) genes. Long-term increased nitrifiers, denitrifiers, ammonifiers. N O emissions did differ significantly between treatments. Additionally, had a buffering that maintained population microbes against seasonal variations abundance. Our results indicate improving through potentially facilitates without increasing emissions.
