Fertilization altered co-occurrence patterns and microbial assembly …
AbstractAmmonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria (AOA and AOB, respectively) are important intermediate links in the nitrogen cycle. Apart from the AOA and AOB communities in soil, we further investigated co-occurrence patterns and microbial assembly processes subjected to inorganic and organic fertilizer treatments for over 35 years. The amoA copy numbers and AOA and AOB communities were found […]

We’ve reached a fork in the fertilizer road: Which path keeps food cheap and the world cool? We’ve reached a fork in the fertilizer road: Which path keeps food …
In the modern world, food means fertilizer. Everything from a bowl of breakfast cereal to a curry relies on abundant use of synthetic fertilizer to raise crops or livestock. (The one notable exception, seafood, has its own carbon and sustainability problems). Over the last century, fertilizer use has enabled an unprecedented increase in human population […]

Comparing unamended and Fe-coated biochar on removal efficiency of bacteria, microspheres, and dissolved phosphorus in sand filters
Abstract The effects of uncoated and Fe-coated biochars (BC) on the removal of bacteria, microspheres, and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) in sand filters were compared. Filters were packed with 1.2 or 2.0-mm sand mixed with 30% (vol/vol) uncoated BC, Fe-coated BC, or a control without BC. Removal of E. coli, Salmonella, and Enterococci increased from 23, 42, and 25% […]
