New insight to niche partitioning and ecological function of ammonia oxidizing archaea in subtropical estuarine ecosystem

<p>Nitrification plays a central role in the estuarine nitrogen cycle. Previous studies in estuary mainly focused on the niche partition between ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), while the diversity, activity, biogeography, and ecophysiology of different AOA groups remained u...
