Composting is a promising technology to decompose organic waste into humus-like high-
quality compost, which can be used as organic fertilizer. However, greenhouse gases (N 2 …

Human civilization relies on estuaries, and many estuarine ecosystem services are provided
by microbial communities. These services include high rates of primary production that …

The discovery of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), now generally recognized to exert
primary control over ammonia oxidation in terrestrial, marine, and geothermal habitats …

Nitrification and denitrification processes are crucial to plant nutrient availability,
eutrophication and greenhouse gas production both locally and globally. Unravelling the …

Nitrogen (N) is a key element for life in the oceans. It controls primary productivity in many
parts of the global ocean, consequently playing a crucial role in the uptake of atmospheric …

One of the major challenges in any sustainable aquaculture production systems is the
accumulation of nitrogenous waste such as ammonia and its biological nitrification products …

Shifts in microbial communities driven by anthropogenic nitrogen (N) addition have broad-
scale ecological consequences. However, responses of microbial groups to exogenous N …

Specific nitrification inhibitors (NIs) have been widely used to disentangle the contribution of
ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) as well as nitrite …

Numerous studies have unveiled the importance of nitrogen (N) transformation processes
over the past decades, but comprehensive studies of key N-cycling processes are still rare in …

Coastal ecosystems are hotspots for nitrogen cycling, and specifically for nitrogen removal
from water and sediment through the coupled nitrification-denitrification process. Salinity is …
