Decreased precipitation frequency increases nitrogen loss across degraded grasslands in a two-year mesocosm experiment

Soil inorganic nitrogen (N) is frequently lost from grasslands through gaseous emissions and leaching, both strongly regulated by precipitation, reducing soil nutrient availability and influencing offsite environments. Amid declining precipitation frequency and widespread grassla...

Changes in groundwater-surface water interactions following two centuries of irrigation practices and groundwater use in the Upper Ganges-Yamuna interfluve, North India

Abstract. The Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) is a global hotspot for groundwater overexploitation. Previous studies have shown that groundwater levels initially rose due to enhanced recharge following the construction of irrigation canals, but subsequently declined as agricultural, mu...

Reversible Inhibition of Ammonia Monooxygenase by 1,9-Decanediol Triggers a RegB-RegA-Associated Energy Crisis and Stress Response in Nitrosomonas europaea

Abstract 1,9-decanediol, a rice-derived biological nitrification inhibitor (BNI) suppresses soil nitrification and nitrous-oxide emissions, but the mechanisms of action against ammonia-oxidizing bacteria remain unclear. Combining physiology and transcriptomics in Nitrosomonas eur...
