Soil Amendments Alter Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea and Bacteria Communities in Rain-Fed Maize Field in Semi-Arid Loess Plateau
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are key drivers of nitrification in rainfed soil ecosystems. However, within a semi-arid region, the influence of different soil amendments on the composition of soil AOA and AOB communities and soil properties of rainfed maize is...
