Land-use, landform, and seasonal-dependent changes in microbial communities and their impact on nitrous oxide emission activities

The greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is produced mainly by the microbial processes of nitrification and denitrification. I hypothesized that microbial community structure (composition and abundance) is linked to differences in soil N2O emissions from these two processes. Microbial community compos...
