Nitrogen mineralization, immobilization turnover, heterotrophic nitrification, and microbial groups in acid forest soils of subtropical China (2012, background): “, the conversion of organic N to NO3 ) can occur in soils (Islam et al. 2007; Zhang et al. 2011).”
Current insights into the autotrophic thaumarchaeal ammonia oxidation in acidic soils (2012, background): “Although heterotrophic nitrifiers, including some bacteria and fungi, could account for a small proportion (usually less than 20%) of total nitrification in acidic soils (Pedersen et al., 1999; Islam et al., 2007), their minor contribution to nitrification and absence of AOB in a number of actively ”
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have more important role than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in ammonia oxidation of strongly acidic soils (2011, methodology): “, 2005), and laboratory incubation using (15)N-labeling techniques found heterotrophic nitrification accounted for o20% of the total nitrification in two acidic pasture soils (Islam et al., 2007).”
