Soil bacterial community in response to titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are widely used as agricultural chemicals such as nanopesticide or additives, which potentially affect the soil bacterial community. This study focuses on the temporal (short- and long-term exposure) and spatial (organic matter content, soil texture) differences of soil bacterial community in response to titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Soils with the same temporal and spatial differences without titanium dioxide nanoparticles exposure are used as controls.
