Microorganisms with the capacity to reduce the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to
harmless dinitrogen gas are receiving increased attention due to increasing N 2 O …

Microorganisms drive much of the Earth's nitrogen (N) cycle, but we still lack a global
overview of the abundance and composition of the microorganisms carrying out soil N …

Preventing degradation, facilitating restoration, and maintaining soil health is fundamental
for achieving ecosystem stability and resilience. A healthy soil ecosystem is supported by …

The biological nitrogen input is essential for nutrient enrichment in natural grassland
ecosystems. This process is carried out by diazotrophic microbes. However, the patterns and …

Single-stage constructed wetlands (CWs) are characterized by a low potential for N removal.
Understanding the pathways regulating N cycling as well as their dependence on …

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

Denitrification is an important global N cycle process. The gene encoding NosZ that converts
nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to N 2 has been widely used as a biomarker to study denitrifying …

The only known biological sink for the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is its reduction
to nitrogen gas (N 2) by bacteria and archaea that possess the nosZ gene conferring this …

Mountain ecosystems are characterized by a diverse range of climatic and topographic
conditions over short distances and are known to shelter a high biodiversity. Despite …

Denitrification is vital to nitrogen removal and N2O release in ecosystems; in this regard,
paddy soils exhibit strong denitrifying ability. However, the underlying mechanism of N2O …
