| Abstract: | Purpose Although nitrification plays a key role in the fate of soil nitrogen (N) under global warming, little information is available
for the nitrifiers’ response to changing temperatures. Nitrogen isotope fractionation associated with nitrification can be
a proxy of nitrifiers’ sensitivity to changing temperature. We hypothesized that the temperature-induced balance between the
transport of substrate NH4+ into the microbial cell (supply) and the intracellular NH4+ oxidation (consumption) governs the intracellular NH4+ concentration and then affects nitrification rates and associated isotope fractionations. This study was conducted to understand
the microbial response of NH4+ oxidation to changing temperatures by examining the effect of changing temperature on nitrification rate and apparent isotope
fractionation. |
