Nitrogen management in soils has been considered as key to the sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems and a protection of major ecosystem services. However, the …

Soil microorganisms are key to biological diversity and many ecosystem processes in
terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the current alarming loss of plant diversity, it is unclear how …

Ammonia oxidation is a critical step in the soil nitrogen (N) cycle and can be affected by the
application of mineral fertilizers or organic manure. However, little is known about the …

The microbial groups of nitrogen fixers, ammonia oxidizers, and denitrifiers largely drive the
inorganic nitrogen cycle in temperate terrestrial ecosystems. Their spatial and temporal …

The use of nitrogen (N) in fertilizer has doubled the amount of reactive N in the biosphere,
leading to increased greenhouse‐gas emissions and nutrient enrichment in aquatic and …

Global environmental changes are expected to alter ecosystem carbon and nitrogen cycling,
but the interactive effects of multiple simultaneous environmental changes are poorly …

Emissions of the trace gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) play an important role for the greenhouse
effect and stratospheric ozone depletion, but the impacts of climate change on N 2 O fluxes …

While crop productivity and carbon flux/partitioning in agroecosystem have been widely
addressed, potential changes in organic matter composition through root deposition are still …

As consumers demand more certainty over where their food and beverages originate from
and the genuineness of ingredients, there is a need for analytical techniques that are able to …
