Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is an important nitrogen removal pathway in aquatic systems. However, the significance of anammox in nitrogen removal in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in the agricultural ecosystems, is currently not well known. Here, we studied the vertical distribution and activity of anammox bacteria in a vegetable field (0–100Candidatus Kuenenia , Candidatus Brocadia and Candidatus Jettenia , with Candidatus Brocadia being the dominant one. Quantitative PCR of hydrazine synthase genes showed that the anammox bacterial abundance ranged between 7.82 r r
