Abstract Microbial denitrification is a major contributor to the terrestrial production of greenhouse nitrous oxide (N2O). The responses of soil denitrifiers to yak excreta addition in marsh soil under a warming background have not been well evaluated. We investigated the soil physicochemical properties, denitrification rate (DR), enzymes and community of denitrifier genes (nirS and nirK) of marsh soil with different yak excreta additions (dung addition, D; urine addition, U) on the Southeast Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau under three different temperatures (13 °C, 19 °C and 25 °C). Excreta addition significantly increased the DR of marsh soil under different temperatures (P
