Salinity and high pH reduce denitrification rates by inhibiting denitrifying gene abundance in a saline-alkali soil

Abstract Denitrification, as the main nitrogen (N) removal process in farmland drainage ditches in coastal areas, is significantly affected by saline-alkali conditions. To elucidate the effects of saline-alkali conditions on denitrification, incubation experiments with five salt and salt-alkali grad...
