Dear Dr. Shen,

Sorry for the mistake I have made as I had thought the reviewing process was almost completed. Fortunately the EIC helped and found out the gap

Dear Prof. Shen,

The revised manuscript has been carefully re-assessed by the reviewer and both suggested publication after minor revision.
one reviewer suggested that: 1) A careful proofreading should be made to improve language, e.g., 'lab' should be 'laboratory'. 2) I suggest that the authors should add one sentence in the end of conclusion to clarify the future direction based on this study.
I had a quick editorial review and have a minor comment for your reference.
(1) In the materials and methods, please add few sentences showing how the addition of N is related to wet N deposition
(2) maybe the title could be rephrased as: The simulated N deposition accelerates net N mineralization and nitrification in a tropical forest soil
(3) One conclusion sentence might be added at the end of abstract showing the implication and importance of N deposition on soil N turnover
(4) The last paragraph of Introduction might be slightly rephrased to highlight the aim, i.e., the short-term N addition is to investigate the possible effect of N deposition on ecosystem.

Kind regards
