For centuries, wastewater has been improperly used in agriculture, presenting potential risks
to public health and the environment. In the context of scientific development, and …

The reuse of treated wastewater, in particular for irrigation, is an increasingly common
practice, encouraged by governments and official entities worldwide. Irrigation with …

Dairy and soy products are two of the most common sources of protein in the human diet.
Both industries produce large volumes of wastewater (up to 10 LL− 1 raw material), high …

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 …

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

Different kinds of soil microorganisms belonging to several taxa of the bacteria, fungi, and
possibly, protozoa kingdoms, colonizing the rhizosphere or the plant tissues and promoting …

Functional genes involved in nitrogen (N) cycling regulate soil nitrification, denitrification and
N 2 O emissions. However, the general patterns and variability of N functional genes in …

Soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea (AOB and AOA) convert ammonium/ammonia
to nitrite in the process of nitrification. However, the potentially differential responses of these …

Aim Soil nitrogen (N) cycling is critical to the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. However,
the impact of global change factors (GCFs) on the microbial mediators of N cycling pathways …

The long‐term contribution of nitrification to nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from terrestrial
ecosystems is poorly known and thus poorly constrained in biogeochemical models. Here …
