Project description

It is assumed that an important part of N mineralization in soils is due to the activity of microfauna. The microbial loop concept at this moment includes only protists, but we will extend the concept to nematodes and will experimentally quantify the contribution of protists and nematodes (microfauna) to N mineralization in realistic conditions.
