A comprehensive understanding of how microbial associated with nitrogen (N) cycling respond to artificial vegetation restoration is still lacking, particularly in arid to semi-arid degraded ecosystems. We compared soil net N mineralization rates and the abundance of bacteria, archaea, and eleven N microbial genes on the northern Loess Plateau of China during the process of artificial vegetation restoration. The quantitative relationships between net N mineralization rates and N microbial genes were determined. We observed a significant difference of net transformation rates of NH 4   + -N (R a ), NO 3   − -N (R d ), and total mineralization (R m ), which rapidly decreased in 10-year soils and steadily increased in the 10–30-year soils. Different N functional microbial groups responded to artificial vegetation restoration distinctly and differentially, especially for denitrifying bacteria. Stepwise regression analysis suggested that R a  was collectively controlled by AOA- amoA  and Archaea; R d  was jointly governed by  narG ,  napA ,  nxrA , and bacreria; and R m  was jointly controlled by  napA ,  narG ,  nirK ,  nirS ,  norB ,  nosZ , and  nxrA .
