Effects of Long-Term Fertilization Regimes on N2-Fixing Bacteria in a Luvisol Soil of Northeast China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Long-term fertilization significantly inhibited the free-living N2-fixation rate (FNR) mainly because of the increased NO3–-N. DGGE profiles and redundancy analysis (RDA) plots clearly revealed that long-term fertilizations changed the community structures of N2-fixing bacteria (NFB) due to differences in N availability and pH. In addition, the differences in community composition were correlated with the changes in process rates for NFB (P < 0.05).
