Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) and plant–microbe competition for ammonium (NH4+) by sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) have the potential to suppress nitrification, reducing nitrate (NO3−) and nitrous oxide (N2O) production for more ...

Nitrification and growth of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria and Thaumarchaeota in the coastal North Sea [PDF]
Nitrification and the associated growth of autotrophic nitrifiers, as well as the contributions of bacteria and Thaumarchaeota to total autotrophic C-fixation by nitrifiers were investigated in the Dutch coastal North Sea from October 2007 to March 2008.

Anoxic nitrification in marine sediments [PDF]
Nitrate peaks are found in pore-water profiles in marine sediments at depths considerably below the conventional zone of oxic nitrification. These have been interpreted to represent nonsteady- state effects produced by the activity of nitrifying ...

Identification of nitrification inhibition in maize to mitigate soil nitrogen loss
Nitrogen dynamics in soil produce N2O emissions. To decrease N2O emissions and conserve N, recent studies have focused on chemicals derived from root exudates that inhibit nitrification.

Contribution of nitrification and denitrification to N2O emissions from urine patches [PDF]
Urine deposition by grazing livestock causes an immediate increase in nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, but the responsible mechanisms are not well understood. A nitrogen-15 (15N) labelling study was conducted in an organic grass-clover sward to examine the

Simultaneous nitrification and de-nitrification in MBR
Experiments have been carried out to get an understanding of the effect of DO, C/N ratio and pH on the performance of a bench scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) in simultaneous nitrification and de-nitrification. It was found that under the conditions of MLSS in the range of 8000–9000mg/L and temperature of water in the MBR of 24°C, influent COD and NH3-N

Meta-analysis reveals ammonia-oxidizing bacteria respond more strongly to nitrogen addition than ammonia-oxidizing archaea [PDF]
Shifts in microbial communities driven by anthropogenic nitrogen (N) addition have broad-scale ecological consequences. However, responses of microbial groups to exogenous N supply vary considerably across studies, hindering efforts to predict community ...

Inhibition of Nitrification by Root Exudates and Plant Materials fromBrachiaria humidicola
Nitrification inhibitors are synthetic or natural compounds highly specific in inhibiting ammonium oxidation to nitrate. Therefore, they are widely used in combination with ammonium fertilizers.
