Ammonia oxidation, which depends on the activity of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), plays essential roles in nitrogen biogeochemical cycling. While many studies have demonstrated that AOA and AOB are widely distributed and regulated by the environmental factors, less is known regarding the ammonia-oxidizer community in high-elevation wetland ecosystems.
