Nitrifying Microbes in the Rhizosphere of Perennial Grasses are Modified by Biological Nitrification Inhibition

Soil nitrification (microbial oxidation of ammonium to nitrate) can lead to nitrogen leaching and environmental pollution. A number of plant species are able to suppress soil nitrifiers by exuding inhibitors from roots, a process called biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). However, the BNI act...
