Competitive Roles of DNRA and Denitrification on Organic Nitrogen Dynamics in Partially Saturated Soil‐Water Systems by Lecheng Liu, Tianyuan Zheng, Yingying Qiu, Yujie Hao, Haoran Ma, Xilai Zheng, Alberto Guadagnini

“…The rate of DNRA is documented to be (a) significantly faster in loam than in sandy loam, due to dissolved carbon release from loam aggregates, and (b) more effective in the presence of amino acid than urea in the natural soil, due to the role of amino acid as carbon source. Our analysis further suggests the relevance of hydrogeochemical factors (e.g., moisture variation, soil texture, and C/N ratio) on DON transformation through the influence of functional microorganisms. …”
