Examining the effect of salinity on nitrification, this book discusses the main inhibiting factors causing the effects, what is the maximum acceptable salt level, are ammonia oxidizers or nitrite oxidizers most sensitive to slat stress, can nitrifiers adapt to long term salt stress, and are some specific nitrifiers more resistant to salt stress than others? Bases on research carried out at laboratory scale and in full-scale plants, the book includes mathematical descriptions for salt inhibition on nitrification and to facilitate comparison. The findings form a guideline for more economical and sustainable design and start up of plants dealing with salt in the future.
