We conducted a field manipulation experiment by redistributing 67 % of dry-season rainfall into the wet season while keeping the annual rainfall unchanged in a subtropical forest. Soil net nitrification and N mineralization rates were decreased by 13–20 % in the dry season and increased by 50 % with an accelerated NO3 leaching in the wet season. Functional microbial gene abundance and microbial biomass were the main factors affecting the N-process responses to the rainfall seasonality changes.
