In agricultural plant production nitrification inhibitors like 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) are used to retard the microbial nitrification process of fertilized ammonium to enhance the nitrogen supply for cultivated crops and to reduce nitrogen losses from the production system. Besides the well-known ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) it is known for a few years that also ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are able to perform the first step in nitrification, hence being also a target for a nitrification inhibitor. However, so far no information are available concerning the effectiveness of DMPP and its extent towards AOB and AOA, neither in bulk soil nor in the root-rhizosphere complex. We investigated in a field experiment performed according to agricultural practice the effect of DMPP on the abundance of AOB and AOA two, four and eight weeks after fertilization. We observed impaired abundances of AOB but not of AOA in both soil compartments that were still visible eight weeks after application, possibly indicating a reduced effectiveness of the nitrification inhibitor in our study.

Nitrogen (N) transformation inhibitors have been widely recognized as a promising strategy to enhance crop productivity and mitigate N losses. However, the effectiveness of individual or combined inhibitors can vary significantly across different agroecosystems. Using meta-analysis and cost-benefit analysis (CBA), we synthesized findings from 41 peer-reviewed studies (285 observations) globally to evaluate the efficacy of urease inhibitors (UIs), nitrification inhibitors (NIs), and combined inhibitors (UINIs).

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) and nitrification are two vital biological pathways for ammonium oxidation, pivotal in microbial nitrogen cycling. 3,4-Dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) is commonly used as inhibitors in agricultural soils to reduce nitrogen losses from farmland, while whether it affect anammox is an open question. Acute inhibition tests revealed that 53.

Urease and nitrification inhibitors can reduce ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizers and manure but their effectiveness depends on the conditions under which they are used. Consequently, it is essential for the credibility of emission reductions reported in regulatory emission inventories that their effectiveness is assessed under real-world conditions and not just in the laboratory. Here, we specify the criteria we consider necessary before the effects of inhibitors are included in regulatory emission inventories.

Excessive nitrogen fertilizer application is the main driving force threatening soil health and reducing multiple soil functions. The enhanced-efficiency nitrogen fertilizers （EENFs）, such as urease inhibitors （NBPT）, nitrification inhibitors （DCD）, and coated controlled-release urea （RCN）, have been proven to be effective measures for reducing nitrogen fertilizer application. However, the effects of EENFs on soil quality （SQI）, microbial metabolic characteristics, and soil ecosystem multifunctionality （EMF） and their internal relationships are still unclear.

The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of nitrification inhibitors on the dynamic changes in the nitrogen and microbial community in paddy soil under aerated irrigation by using the indica hybrid rice Zhongzheyou 8 as experimental material. A trial with three treatments was conducted in 2023： conventional flooding irrigation （CF）, micro-nano bubble water aeration irrigation （MB）, and micro-nano bubble water aeration irrigation combined with nitrification inhibitor （MBNI）. The effects of nitrification inhibitors on the contents of NH-N and NO-N and the apparent nitrification rate of soil under aerated irrigation were analyzed, as well as the characteristics of bacterial community diversity and its correlation with soil chemical factors.
