Metagenomic evidence clarifies the texture-dependent cascading effects of organic degradation on soil hypoxia and N2O emission
Our findings suggest that hypoxic pore abundance and the severity of pore anaerobiosis imparted by degradation of organic amendments varied with soil texture and are the overriding factors of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Metagenomic traits provide a sensitive tool for detecting pore-scale environmental shifts, improving our mechanistic understanding of soil-dependent GHG emissions following organic amendments.
