Nitrite Oxidizer Activity and Community Are More Responsive Than Their Abundance to Ammonium-Based Fertilizer in an Agricultural Soil

Nitrite Oxidizer Activity and Community Are More Responsive Than Their Abundance to Ammonium-Based Fertilizer in an Agricultural Soil

Autotrophic nitrification is mediated by ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) or ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Mounting studies have examined the impact of nitrogen (N) fertilization on the dynamic and diversity of AOA and AOB, while we have limited information on...
