Key Contributor to N2O Emissions in Alkaline Cropland Soils

In collaboration with researchers in China, we rencently publised a paper on the Journal of Environmental Management, "AOB Nitrosospira cluster 3a.2 (D11) dominates N2O emissions in fertilised agricultural soils", advances our understanding of key nitrifiers responsible for high N2O emissions in agricultural soils and their controlling factors, and provides vital knowledge for N2O emission mitigation in agricultural ecosystems.
