Biological nitrification inhibition in the rhizosphere: determining interactions and impact on microbially mediated processes and potential applications
Nitrification is the microbial conversion of reduced forms of nitrogen (N) to nitrate (NO3−),
and in fertilized soils it can lead to substantial N losses via NO3− leaching or nitrous oxide …
