The Abundance of the nifH Gene Became Higher and the nifH-Containing Diazotrophic Bacterial Communities Changed During Primary Succession in the Hailuogou Glacier Chronosequence, China

The Abundance of the nifH Gene Became Higher and the nifH-Containing Diazotrophic Bacterial Communities Changed During Primary Succession in the Hailuogou Glacier Chronosequence, China

Primary successional ecosystems and the related soil development are often N limited. To date, N2-fixing communities during primary succession in alpine ecosystems have remained underexplored. In this study, we applied quantitative PCR (qPCR) quantitation and targeted amplicon sequencing of nifH in...
