Tropical rainforest and pasture soil Raw sequence reads
The goal of this study was to determine how land-use change of the western Brazilian Amazonian rainforest to cattle pasture and secondary forest affects the aerobic ammonia oxidizing microbial communities of soil. Due to the importance of the Amazonian rainforest to global biogeochemical cycling and climate, this project investigates the microbes catalyzing the rate limiting step of the nitrogen cycle in which a relatively immobile source of nitrogen (ammonium) is converted to more mobile forms (nitrite and nitrate). This nitrite and nitrate can leach from the system into bodies of water or get converted to the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide.
