Summary: Plantations of saline-alkali tolerant rice in coastal areas are proposed to improve rice yield and ensure food security. This study investigated the effects of saline-alkali tolerant rice cultivation on the nitrification process in coastal solonchaks. The results showed that the abundance and nitrification rates of AOA and AOB decreased with increasing salinity, but increased significantly in the rice rhizosphere. Saline-alkali tolerant rice cultivation enhanced the nitrification process of the soil by increasing the nitrification contribution of AOB.

Summary: Nitrogen management measures such as urease inhibitors, synthetic nitrification inhibitors, and biochar are commonly used in agriculture to mitigate nitrogen loss and increase fertilizer recovery efficiency. In a study conducted on calcareous soil under rice cropping, it was found that a combination of BNIs and UIs had the most effective results in reducing nitrogen loss and improving FRE by utilizing synergistic effects.

Summary: This study found significant shifts in potential ammonia oxidation rates (PARs) and gene abundances of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) along different salinity gradients. The PARs were higher under high salinity conditions, and the AOB gene abundance was greater than AOA under moderate and high salinity. This has important implications for nitrogen cycling in estuarine sediments.

Summary: This study analyzed activated sludge samples from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants and found that comammox bacteria were more abundant than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and ammonia-oxidizing archaea in municipal plants, while this trend did not hold true for industrial plants. Furthermore, a higher diversity of comammox bacteria was found in municipal samples. This study provides important insights into the abundance and diversity of comammox bacteria in municipal and refinery wastewater treatment systems.

Summary: This study investigated the impacts of elevated CO2 and cadmium levels on soil nitrification in the rhizosphere of Robinia pseudoacacia L. seedlings. The results showed that elevated CO2 combined with Cd pollution generally stimulated nitrification enzyme activities and influenced bacterial community structures.

Summary: Intercropping has a significant impact on soil properties and microbial communities, with different intercropping systems affecting ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms differently in different seasons. Soil physicochemical state, PNR, AOA and AOB communities were significantly altered by intercropping, with seasonal variation playing a greater role in shaping the community structures.

Summary: This study comprehensively investigated the impacts of ammonia and salinity on culturing nitrifying microorganisms and successfully formulated nitrifying cultures for different recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) types. The findings suggest that cultures prepared at low ammonia loading rates are most suitable for various RAS types, while cultures prepared at high ammonia loading rates are dominated by nitrifying microorganisms with low substrate affinity.

Summary: Coastal upwelling affects temperature, salinity and inorganic nutrients in the water column, leading to changes in microbial populations and their metabolic activities. This study investigated the impact of eastern Hainan upwelling on ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) through genetic analysis and measurement of ammonia oxidation rate. The findings suggest that coastal upwelling significantly influences AOA community and ammonia oxidation rate, and should be considered in future assessment of global nitrogen budgets and biogeochemical nitrogen cycles.

Summary: The discovery of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) bacteria in terrestrial ecosystems highlights their important role in nitrification. A nutrient-limited enrichment strategy was found to favor the growth of comammox bacteria with high affinity and yield. Direct enrichment from soil and nutrient-limited sub-cultivation consistently yielded high enrichments of Nitrosocosmicus-affiliated AOA associated with multiple canonical nitrite-oxidizing Nitrospira strains.

Summary: This study highlights the important role of local ammonium concentration in affecting the ecological niche differentiation of comammox and canonical ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes. The results show growth differences between CAOB and AOA, with CAOB favoring oligotrophic environments and being more tolerant to a broader range of ammonium concentrations.

Summary: The meta-analysis of laboratory incubation studies with 1-octyne as the nitrification inhibitor shows that AOB play a more dominant role in soil nitrification in cropland than in wetland soils, indicating a major role of AOB in acidic soil nitrification. Moreover, the reduction of nitrification rate by 1-octyne is greater in soils incubated in slurry and with nitrogen additions, suggesting AOB's importance in nitrification in global acidic soils.

Summary: The study found that ammonia-oxidizing archaea are more abundant in systems with low ammonium availabilities, while ammonia-oxidizing bacteria are more abundant when ammonium availability increases. Population dynamics of ammonia oxidizers may shift in response to changes in ammonium concentrations.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of applying Cu-complexing compounds on nitrification rate, abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea genes, and mineral nitrogen leaching in urine patches. The results showed that using organic compounds such as co-poly-acrylic-maleic acid and calcium lignosulphonate can significantly reduce the copper content in the soil, thereby reducing mineral nitrogen leaching.
