Three methods for assaying nitrification and denitrification were compared in agricultural field plots in the Southeastern USA. Nitrification was measured using the chlorate inhibition enzyme assay, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Nitrification was measured during the rainy season in two undisturbed tropical rain forests and three slash-and-burn sites in the Amazon ...

On timescales of hundreds to thousands of years, the ocean is the Earth’s largest active reservoir of carbon and is the dominant sink for anthropogenic carbon dioxide 15. This is principally a result ...

It could never be found until recently, in a fish tank a few floors below a university microbiology department: one single organism able to perform the complete process of nitrification.

An international collaboration has discovered and transferred to elite wheat varieties a wild-grass chromosome segment that causes roots to secrete natural inhibitors of nitrification, offering a way ...

Nitrite oxidation is carried out by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), primarily belonging to the genera Nitrobacter, ...

But different microbes have distinct roles to play, and environmental factors influence activity. Under our feet, in the soil, is a wealth of microbial activity. Just like humans have different ...

An experimental simulation of near-future changes in ocean chemistry suggests that aquatic nitrogen cycles could be profoundly disrupted, altering the basic structure of Earth's food webs. Nitrogen is ...

Many WwTWs in the UK are now facing pressures, namely through AMP3 and AMP4, to upgrade their plants so stringent discharge consents can be met. Ammonia consents as low as 2.0mg/l have been ...

Recently, the research team led by Professor Wu Lifang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed copper pyrazole, a novel nitrification inhibitor, and ...

Potato yields can be boosted by using nitrogen inhibitors sprayed on to the soil or applied in-furrow at planting, according to independent on-farm trials in Scotland. The nitrification and urease ...
