Straw Mulching and Nitrogen Fertilization Affect Diazotroph Communities in Wheat Rhizosphere. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2021 Diazotrophs that carry out the biological fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) replenish biologically available nitrogen (N) in soil and are influenced by the input of inorganic and organic substrates. To date, little is known about the effects of combined organic substrate addition and N fertilization on the diazotroph community composition and ...
