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 ecology, biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has seen a shift in
perspective from taxonomy to function in the last two decades, with successful application of …

Excessive ammonia (NH 3) emitted from nitrogen fertilizer application in farmland have
caused serious disturbance to global environment, including reduction of visibility, formation …

Fusarium wilt disease is a growing problem in agriculture systems. Application of bio-
fertilizers containing beneficial microbes represents a promising disease control strategy …

Nitrogen losses caused by excess fertilizer application in agriculture are one of the main
sources of non-point pollution. Biofertilizer has been considered as an effective alternative to …

In this review, we present the recent developments and future prospects of improving
nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops using various complementary approaches. These …

Nitrification has an immense impact on nitrogen cycling in natural ecosystems and in
wastewater treatment plants. Mathematical models function as tools to capture the …

N itrospira are the most widespread and diverse known nitrite‐oxidizing bacteria and key
nitrifiers in natural and engineered ecosystems. Nevertheless, their ecophysiology and …

Riparian zones are important natural means of water purification, by decreasing the
aqueous concentration of terrestrial organic matter (OM) through adsorption and microbial …

The two-step nitrification process is an integral part of the global nitrogen cycle, and it is
accomplished by distinctly different nitrifiers. By combining DNA-based stable isotope …
