In aerated terrestrial ecosystems the organisms prefer to respire with O 2 , because
the energy gain by oxidizing organic matter is highest. In biofilms [77] and water
saturated soil pores [239] only bacteria, archea, fungi and apparently protozoa as the
rumen biotope suggests can at O 2 shortage respire with the alternative e

shortage bacteria and archaea survive environmental stress better in an exopolymer
substance (Eps) surrounded biofilm [27, 79, 78]. Biofilms are similarly sub-structured
as soils, in pores, voids, channels in which a distinct O 2 gradient from the outer to
the inner biofilm parts favours the electron transport from the donor to the various
e

genes, 16S, 18S rDNA, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
(CRISPR), metagenomics classification, PhyloChips comprising 60,000 bacterial
operational taxonomic units, meta-omics technologies, single-cell imaging devices
and liquid high pressure or gas chromatography coupled to microscopy, Ramanmicrospectroscopy, mass spectrometry (Table 1; [38, 3, 30, 87, 119, 127, 175, 131,
267, 225, 135, 145]. EPS surrounded bifilms hosting a variety of bacteria and archaea,
fungi, protozoa, provide a remarkable adaptability on pollutants and antibiotics, are
barrier for entering viruses, and the available enzyme complexes guarantee surviving
[27, 79, 78, 211]. The comammox bacterium Nitrospira inopinata forms under

archaea (AOA), but less than ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB; [124]).
After the invention of technical N 2 fixation (TNF) by Haber and Bosch monoculturing farmers started trying to approach nature’s high, on biodiversity based
biomass productivity and almost doubled the amount of biologically fixed N inputs
(BNF). BNF input doubling guaratees a better food security, but the soil inhabitants,
long-term adapted on N shortage must adapt on the plant demand and plant assimilation significantly surpassing 118 millon tonnes of worldwide produced nitrogen,
on 171 millon tonnes of partly on arable land spread ammonia [47, 117, 216, 67].
Soil biodiversity members not able to adapt on N fertilizer overloads are assumingly
overgrown or may disappear. In addition monoculturing landscapes must annually
recycle the N in 3000 millions tonnes of worldwide produced crop residues together
with the C, N, P, trace elements, and antibiotics stored in slurries of industrial livestock farming and in sewage sludge producing wastewater treatment plants, uptaking
approximately 330 km

guaranteeing crops are rather inefficient in taking up N from the ammonia, produced
between 2014 and 2019 in amounts of 171,433 million tons. From 50 to 80 kg N
