The controlling factors and the role of soil heterotrophic nitrification from a global review

Yi Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper reviews and summarizes the research on heterotrophic nitrification in soil, and the results show that heterotrophic nitrification accounts for 24%, 32%, and 43% of NO3- production in forest, cropland, and grassland soils, respectively. It is significantly influenced by temperature and pH, while further investigation is needed on its correlation with soil C and N substrates.

Microbial carbon use efficiency and priming of soil organic matter mineralization by glucose additions in boreal forest soils with different C: N ratios

Kristiina Karhu et al.

Summary: Rhizosphere priming effect refers to the acceleration of soil organic matter decomposition by carbon in root exudates. This study found that the response of soil microorganisms to labile carbon input in the rhizosphere depends on microbial demand for nutrients, especially carbon and nitrogen. Priming effect was not linearly related to soil C:N ratio, but positively linked to C:N imbalance.

Tracing controls of autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification in terrestrial soils

Wenlong Gao et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the major mechanisms and drivers of autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification in terrestrial soils. It highlights the importance of N mineralization in regulating autotrophic nitrification in croplands and grasslands, and the significant influence of pH on autotrophic nitrification in acidic cropland and forest soils. Additionally, the study emphasizes the central role of soil and microbial N status in heterotrophic nitrifying activities in forest ecosystems.

Heterotrophic nitrification-An eternal mystery in the nitrogen cycle

Pertti J. Martikainen

Summary: Despite being discovered more than 100 years ago, the biochemistry of heterotrophic nitrifiers and their contribution to soil nitrification remains poorly understood. Heterotrophic nitrifiers require organic compounds for energy, unlike chemolithotrophic nitrifiers. Most pathways for nitrite/nitrate production by heterotrophs can be considered secondary metabolism. Only some heterotrophic bacteria have been found to have a connection to the energy metabolism through nitrification and simultaneous denitrification. The nitrification pathways of bacteria and fungi differ and the role of heterotrophic nitrification in soil nitrogen cycle remains uncertain due to the diverse and poorly known biochemistry of heterotrophic nitrification.

Fungal key players of cellulose utilization: Microbial networks in aggregates of long-term fertilized soils disentangled using 13C-DNA-stable isotope probing

Yuncai Miao et al.

Summary: This study investigated fungal succession and co-occurrence trends during cellulose decomposition using C-13 stable isotope probing. The findings suggest that compost amendment can increase the decomposition capacity of dominant fungal taxa and facilitate fungal colonization in smaller aggregates. The study also highlights differences in fungal interactions between microaggregates and macroaggregates.

Biochar induces mineralization of soil recalcitrant components by activation of biochar responsive bacteria groups

Lu Ling et al.

Summary: Amendment of soil with biochar alters microbial community structure and enhances mineralization of soil organic carbon. The addition of biochar leads to a decrease in persistent DOM components and an increase in labile DOM components in the soil. Additionally, biochar promotes the release of CO2 carbon from the soil.

Microbial utilization of simple and complex carbon compounds in a temperate forest soil

Tijana Martinovic et al.

Summary: Forest soil processes carried out by microorganisms are critical for the global carbon cycle. This study investigated the utilization of different carbon sources by microorganisms in temperate forest soils using stable-isotope probing. The results showed that low-molecular-mass compounds were readily respired, while carbon from biopolymers was more incorporated into microbial biomass. Different microbial communities targeted various carbon sources, with bacteria being more versatile and fungi being more specialized.

Biochar and lime amendments promote soil nitrification and nitrogen use efficiency by differentially mediating ammonia-oxidizer community in an acidic soil

Jie Zheng et al.

Summary: In this 9-year field experiment, lime and biochar amendments were found to significantly impact soil pH and the content of organic carbon, total nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen. Under both lime and biochar amendments, the abundance and diversity of ammonia-oxidizing archaeal and bacterial communities were significantly increased, and they had significant effects on potential nitrification activity, crop productivity, and N use efficiency. Structural equation modelling suggested that biochar amendment may mediate the abundance and diversity of potential keystone taxa in the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria community, leading to a stronger impact on soil nitrogen cycling and crop productivity.

Global gross nitrification rates are dominantly driven by soil carbon-to-nitrogen stoichiometry and total nitrogen

Ahmed S. Elrys et al.

Summary: Soil gross nitrification is a critical process in the global nitrogen cycle, influenced by various factors such as soil total N, microbial biomass, soil pH, climate, and ecosystem type. Autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrifications contribute differently to global GN, and precipitation and temperature can affect GN rates by altering soil C:N and/or soil total N. Additionally, changes in soil properties due to anthropogenic activities may influence GN, impacting nitrate accumulation and gaseous emissions in soils under global climate and land-use changes.
