Impact of No-Tillage and Conventional Tillage Systems on Soil Microbial Communities [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2012 Soil management practices influence soil physical and chemical characteristics and bring about changes in the soil microbial community structure and function. In this study, the effects of long-term conventional and no-tillage practices on microbial community structure, enzyme activities, and selected physicochemical properties were determined in a ...

Microbial diversity in an Oxisol under no-tillage and conventional tillage in southern Brazil [PDF]
Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2014 The no-tillage (NT) system of soil management is recognized as more sustainable than conventional tillage (CT), with an important role played by soil microorganisms. The objective of this study was to estimate differences in soil microbial diversity under NT and CT at different soil depths.
