“…In addition to Fe, Mo and Cu, other metals and nutrients may also influence nitrification, such as calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), and potassium (K) (Meiklejohn, 1952;Van Droogenbroeck and Laudelout, 1967;Loveless and Painter, 1968;Cela and Sumner, 2002;Çeçen et al, 2010;Bhunia, 2014;Raglin et al, 2022).
