The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) is increasingly acknowledged as being directly linked to soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stability. Given the close coupling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles and the constraints imposed by their stoichiometry on microbial growth, N addition might affect microbial growth strategies with potential consequences for necromass formation and carbon stability. However, this topic r...

Understanding the factors that shape the diversity, distribution, and function of denitrifying microbes is vital for managing nitrogen cycling in these ecosystems. This study explores the diversity, biogeographic distribution, assembly processes, interaction, and denitrification potential of the nirS -encoding microbial community ( nirS denitrifier) in the Pearl River Estuary based on high-throughput and metagenomics sequencin...
