Nitrifier denitrification is the pathway of nitrification in which ammonia (NH3) is oxidized to
nitrite (NO2−) followed by the reduction of NO2− to nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O) and …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the cycling of nutrients within pasture soils. The
major emphasis is on the central role of the grazing animal in influencing soil fertility …

The continuous increase of nitrous oxide (N2O) abundance in the atmosphere is a global
concern. Multiple pathways of N2O production occur in soil, but their significance and …

For the past 3.8 billion years, the geochemistry of the Earth's surface-its atmosphere, waters
and exposed crust-has been determined by the presence of biota. Photosynthetic organisms …

This chapter outlines the methodologies and the concepts used to assess soil internal
nitrogen (N)‐cycle processes. It discusses laboratory and field methods for determining …

A combination of stable isotope and acetylene (0.01% v/v) inhibition techniques were used
for the first time to determine N 2 O production during denitrification, autotrophic nitrification …

Agricultural ecosystems annually receive approximately 25% of the global nitrogen input,
much of which is oxidized at least once by ammonia‐oxidizing prokaryotes to complete the …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to iron (III) reduction (termed Feammox) with
dinitrogen, nitrite, or nitrate as the end-product is a recently discovered process of nitrogen …

Soils are the main sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). The N2O emission at
the soil surface is the result of production and consumption processes. So far, research has …

An updated text exploring the properties of the soil microbial community Today, the
environmentally oriented specialties of microbiology are shifting from considering a single or …
