Effect of Tidal Cycling Rate on the Distribution and Abundance of Nitrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria in a Bench-Scale Fill-and-Drain Bioreactor [PDF]
, 2018 Most domestic wastewater can be effectively treated for secondary uses by engineered biological systems. These systems rely on microbial activity to reduce nitrogen (N) content of the reclaimed water.

Comparison of nitrification inhibitors to restrict nitrate leaching in a maize crop irrigated under mediterranean conditions [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this paper was to compare dicyandiamide (DCD) and 3,4 dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) as inhibitors of ammonium oxidation and nitrate leaching after applying fertilizer to a maize (Zea mays L.) crop grown under Mediterranean conditions.

The Legacy of Plant Invasion: Impacts on Soil Nitrification and Management Implications
Plants, 2023 Plant invasions can have long-lasting impacts on soil nitrification, which plays a critical role in nutrient cycling and plant growth. This review examines the legacy effects of plant invasion on soil nitrification, focusing on the underlying mechanisms,

COD removal and nitrification of piggery wastewater in a sequencing batch reactor : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Environmental Engineering [PDF]
, 1998 Piggery wastewaters are particularly problematic when released untreated into the environment. They contain high levels of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and also nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus which can cause eutrophication in surface waters ...

Nitrification in marine ecosystems [Translation from: Rapp.Naturvardsverket SNVPM No.1213, 157-166, 1980] [PDF]
, 1986 The nitrification in the ocean is influenced by several environmental factors and the importance of these is more or less known. There are very likely many more to be discovered in the study of the interaction of nitrification bacteria and other micro-

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018 The features of N transformations in humid subtropical soils vary greatly due to the wide variations of soil properties, particularly soil pH. Purpose: To understand whether the effects of countermeasures regulating N transformation varied with the ...
