The effect of N fertilizer rates on AOA and AOB communities is less studied in the wheat-fallow system from semi-arid areas. Based on a 17-year wheat field experiment, we explored the effect of five N fertilizer rates (0, 52.5, 105, 157.5, and 210 kg ha}, keywords = {Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), Soil properties} }
