TLDR
Investigation of AOB and AOA growth and nitrification rate in two different layers of three grassland soils treated with animal urine substrate and a nitrification inhibitor shows that AOB were more abundant in the topsoils than in the subsoils, whereas AOA were more scarce in one of the subSOils.
