Nitrogen accumulation in soil is increasing in Inner Mongolia which is resulted mainly from fertilization
accompanied by conversion of large area of grasslands to croplands. Ammonia-oxidation is the key step
of nitrification which is driven by ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms, and study on the response of
ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms is necessary for understanding the effects of nitrogen fertilization
on ecosystem functions.
