The concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere has been increasing
since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the mightiest …

This article provides useful information for understanding the specific role of microbes in the
pollutant removal process in floating treatment wetlands (FTWs). The current literature is …

Soil gross nitrification (GN) is a critical process in the global nitrogen (N) cycle that results in
the formation of nitrate through microbial oxidation of ammonium or organic N, and can both …

Soil nitrification, an important pathway of nitrogen transformation in ecosystems, produces
soil nitrate that influences net primary productivity, while the by‐product of nitrification …

The recent discovery of comammox (complete ammonia oxidation) Nitrospira has upended
the long-held nitrification paradigm. Although comammox Nitrospira have been identified in …

In the majority of agricultural soils, ammonium (NH 4+) is rapidly converted to nitrate (NO 3−)
in the biological ammonia and nitrite oxidation processes known as nitrification. The often …

Microbe-driven nitrification is a key process that affects nitrogen (N) utilization by plants and
N loss to the environment in agro-ecosystems. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and …

Many wastewater treatment plants in the world do not remove reactive nitrogen from
wastewater prior to release into the environment. Excess reactive nitrogen not only has a …

Microbial nitrification in soils is a major contributor to nitrogen (N) loss in agricultural
systems. Some plants can secrete organic substances that act as biological nitrification …

Background Anthropogenic activities have increased the inputs of atmospheric reactive
nitrogen (N) into terrestrial ecosystems, affecting soil carbon stability and microbial …
