Response of Soil Ammonia−Oxidizing Microorganisms to Biochar Amendment Under Continuous Cropping and Crop Rotation Systems

Ammonia−oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia−oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and Comammox are key drivers of soil nitrification and play crucial roles in soil nitrogen cycling, with distinct functional contributions. AOA and AOB primarily drive the first step of nitrification by oxidizing...
