0 the process in which bacteria in the soil use oxygen to change compounds of nitrogen in dead plant material into nitrates which plants can then absorb as food
Microbial immobilization of ammonium and nitrate in relation to ammonification and nitrification rates in organic and conventional cropping systems.
Cold storage of a tropical soil decreases nitrification potential.
This model involves the interplay of denitrification, nitrification and nitrogen fixation, but does not explicitly consider the influence of tracemetal availability for requisite enzyme activity.
These results indicate that brassica residues could affect critical microbial processes, including nitrification, nitrogen fixation and mycorrhizal symbioses.
Effects of urease and nitrification inhibitors application on urea fate in soil and nitrate accumulation in lettuce.
Nitrification and denitrification were found to occur under all oxygen-enriched conditions.
Practical manipulation of the process of nitrification under field conditions has been demonstrated using a range of nitrification inhibitors.
Nitrification in soils with added calcium tended to be greater than in the control, but the difference was not statistically significant.
