Composting is a promising technology to decompose organic waste into humus-like high-
quality compost, which can be used as organic fertilizer. However, greenhouse gases (N 2 …

Biochar is a carbon (C) rich product of thermochemical conversion of organic material that is
used as a soil amendment due to its resistance to decomposition and its influence on …

The internal soil nitrogen (N) cycle supplies N to plants and microorganisms but may induce
N pollution in the environment. Understanding the variability of gross N cycling rates …

Despite the fact that heterotrophic nitrification was identified more than 100 years ago, the
biochemistry of heterotrophic nitrifiers is poorly known and their contribution to nitrification in …

Soil gross nitrification (GN) is a critical process in the global nitrogen (N) cycle that results in
the formation of nitrate through microbial oxidation of ammonium or organic N, and can both …

Nitrification, as a crucial step in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrition, is a biologically
mediated process responsible for enormous losses of nitrogen fertilizer and a contributor to …

The interaction between biochar and soil changes nitrogen (N) dynamics in different
ecosystems. Although multiple studies have reported influences of biochar on soil inorganic …

Agriculture is responsible for over half of the input of reactive nitrogen (N) to terrestrial
systems; however improving N availability remains the primary management technique to …

In recent years, excessive amounts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the environment
have seriously affected the environment and human health. Due to its high removal …

The concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere has been increasing
since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the mightiest …
