Fate of nitrogen fixed by nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria in rice and soil during the vegetative growth period of rice
Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (NFC) play an important role in maintaining the N pool of paddy fields, but few studies have been conducted on the N fate of NFC, especially during the vegetative growth period of...

Effect of substituting nitrogen fertilizer with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria on yield in a double-rice crop** system in southern China
The efficient use of nitrogen fertilizer to increase rice production is essential for food security in China. However, the high-input of chemical nitrogen fertilizer has also resulted in soil N losses and envi...
