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 …

Plants have always grown and evolved surrounded by numerous microorganisms that
inhabit their environment, later termed microbiota. To enhance food production, humankind …

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 …

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

Soil microorganisms play a critical role in the biosphere, and the influence of cropland
fertilization on the evolution of soil as a living entity is being actively documented. In this …

Chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), are used in grasslands to
maximize plant biomass production for livestock. Despite a substantial body of work on how …

Thaumarchaeota form a ubiquitously distributed archaeal phylum, comprising both the
ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) and other archaeal groups in which ammonia oxidation …

In Appalachian ecosystems, forest disturbance has long-term effects on microbially driven
biogeochemical processes such as nitrogen (N) cycling. However, little is known regarding …

Ammonia oxidising archaea (AOA) are an abundant and ubiquitously distributed group of
soil microorganisms and contribute significantly to nitrogen cycling processes. Soil pH has …

Palm oil production in Indonesia increased constantly over the last decades, which led to
massive deforestation, especially on Sumatra island. The ongoing conversion of rainforest to …
