Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) exposure suppressed the community diversity and abundance of ammonia-oxidizers and mitigated N2O emissions in an alkaline soil

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) pollution has become an increasing issue worldwide, but little is known about its effects on ammonia-oxidizers and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the soil environment. Here, a 50-day soil microcosm experiment was conducted using low and high doses bis (2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DE...
