Metagenomic reconstruction of nitrogen and carbon cycling pathways in forest soil: Influence by different hardwood tree species
C. N. Kelly, G. W. Schwaner, J. R. Cumming, T. Driscoll
The paper uses metagenomic sequencing to analyze nitrogen and carbon cycling pathways in forest soils under different hardwood tree species, finding that American chestnut soils show suppressed nitrification and denitrification genes due to low inorganic nitrogen availability.
