Nitrogen and Sulfur Additions Improved the Diversity of <i>nirK</i>- and <i>nirS</i>-Type Denitrifying Bacterial Communities of Farmland Soil

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition can change above- and belowground biodiversity, including soil microbial diversity. The diversity of denitrifying microorganisms is of great significance to the calculation of the global nitrogen cycle and nitrogen flux. For a long time, <i>...
