N2 - Recent global climate patterns demonstrate alterations in temporal and spatial rain distributions. Such alterations can potentially have very pronounced effects on water availability in Mediterranean and semi-arid regions due to characteristically high evaporation intensities. Understanding the consequences of altered water availability in Mediterranean and semi-arid regions for soil abiotic (eg, organic matter) and biotic (eg, soil microbial communities) components is essential, considering their crucial functions in soil fertility. The aim of the present study was to gain insight into feedback mechanisms that operate across boundaries of abiotic and biotic components, in order to expand our understanding of potential climate alterations on spatial and seasonal scales. Soil abiotic parameters (moisture, organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, and total soluble nitrogen contents) as well as biotic parameters
