Iron-organic carbon coprecipitates reduce nitrification by restricting molybdenum in agricultural soils

Nitrification converts ammonium (NH4+) to nitrate (NO3−) using metalloenzymes, the activity of which depends on iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), and copper (Cu) availability. Iron-organic carbon coprecipitates (or Fe-OC flocs) are key byproducts of wastewater treatment industry and natural components of...
