... Similarly, Wu et al. (2020) demonstrated a higher abundance of the mcrA gene with N treatments than in the control treatment without N addition. The elevated N concentrations may have stimulated multiple microbial processes in the rhizosphere, thereby providing more substrate for methanogens compared with low N concentrations (Zeikus, 1977). Consequently, the augmented availability of substrates with high N levels likely contributed to the heightened abundance of methanogenic genes within the rhizosphere. ...
