A new study finds that a nitrification inhibitor outperforms biochar in increasing crop yields and reducing nitrous oxide ...

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, ...

Farmers around the world rely on nitrogen fertilizers to sustain crop production, but in many alkaline soils a large share of ...

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.

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 ...

Under our feet, in the soil, is a wealth of microbial activity. Just like humans have different metabolisms and food choices, so do those microbes. In fact, microbes play an important role in making ...
