Abstract
⺠Microbial structure, abundance and activity were studied along Technosol profiles. ⺠Each layer showed distinct community with diversity decreasing with depth. ⺠Technosols exhibit decrease in microbial activity and abundance with depth. ⺠Nitrification in Technosols is related to the abundance of ammonia-oxidizers. ⺠Technosol properties drive the activity and abundance of N-cycling communities.
