Basal soil respiration under different service plant mulches
Soil microbial activity is strongly influenced by agricultural management and the quality of plant residues added to the system. Basal soil respiration is an important biological indicator, as it expresses the CO₂ emissions resulting from the decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms.

MICROBIAL ACTIVITY CHANGES IN SOIL AMENDED WITH RAW AND COMPOSTED SEWAGE SLUDGE [PDF]
The changing of soil biological characteristics due to the addition of raw and composted sewage sludge (at 0, 1.5 and 3.0%) were evaluated during a 165-day incubation experiment. Generally, increasing the addition rate of sewage sludge and its compost up

Soil respiration across a permafrost transition zone: spatial structure and environmental correlates [PDF]
Soil respiration is a key ecosystem function whereby shifts in respiration rates can shift systems from carbon sinks to sources. Soil respiration in permafrost-associated systems is particularly important given climate change driven permafrost thaw ...

Soil organic matter (SOM) undergoes short and long-term transformation in the soil. Microorganisms through their enzymes are able to mineralize organic carbon while the rate of this process is different. Biological test though referred to one of the main

Physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil under soybean cultivation and at an adjacent rainforest in Amazonia [PDF]
Land-use change in the Amazon basin has occurred at an accelerated pace during the last decade, and it is important that the effects induced by these changes on soil properties are better understood.

The biochar effect on soil respiration and nitrification
Soil microorganisms play a main role in the nutrient cycle and they also play an important role in soil health. This article studies the influence of three rates of biochar (0.5, 1 and 3%) in comparison with control (0 biochar) in two different soils ...

TISSUE RESPIRATION, GROWTH, AND BASAL METABOLISM
1. The relation between tissue respiration and body size was investigated in the rat. Determinations of Qo2 were made on heart, lung, liver, kidney cortex, brain cortex, diaphragm, and thymus of animals ranging from 9 gm. to 392 gm. body weight, including some determinations on fetuses and fetal tissues. A statistical evaluation of ca.

Plastron Respiration Using Commercial Fabrics [PDF]
A variety of insect and arachnid species are able to remain submerged in water indefinitely using plastron respiration. A plastron is a surface-retained film of air produced by surface morphology that acts as an oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange surface ...
