The heatmap for specific abundances of nitrogen metabolism genes with groundwater samples collected from the three sites in November and December 2021 and in January 2022. The biological processes of nitrogen metabolisms are arranged according to the oxidation states of nitrogen. The calculation for the specific abundances of nitrogen metabolism genes is detailed in the methods section and involves multiplying the TPM by the amount of DNA extracted per L of groundwater (ng/L).
