Large losses of ammonium-nitrogen from a rice ecosystem under elevated CO2
SCIENCE ADVANCES, 6(42).
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that elevated CO2 causes substantial losses of ammonium-nitrogen that result from anaerobic oxidation of ammonia coupled to reduction of iron, and a new autotrophic member of the bacterial order Burkholderiales is identified that may use soil CO2 as a carbon source to couple an aerobic ammonium oxidation and iron reduction.
