Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

This paper reviews dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) in soils-a newly
appreciated pathway of nitrogen (N) cycling in the terrestrial ecosystems. The reduction of …

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), the nearly forgotten process in the
terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle, can conserve N by converting the mobile nitrate into non …

Soil fungi and bacteria are the key players in the transformation and processing of carbon
and nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems, yet controls on their abundance and activity are not …

The continuous increase of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere due
to increasing anthropogenic nitrogen input in agriculture has become a global concern. In …

Water and nitrogen availability limit crop productivity globally more than most other
environmental factors. Plant availability of macronutrients such as nitrate is, to a large extent …

The understanding of nitrogen (N) cycling in forest ecosystems has undergone a major shift
in the past decade as molecular methods are being used to link microorganisms to key …

Soil microorganisms play important roles in nitrogen cycling within forest ecosystems.
Current research has revealed that a wider variety of microorganisms, with unexpected …

The ecosystem approach to ecology treats organisms and the physical elements of their
environment as components of a single, integrated system. This comprehensive textbook …

Nitrogen is essential for life on Earth. Soil biota are responsible for its accumulation,
persistence, and loss from ecosystems. Microbial nitrogen transformations include its …
