Microbial biomass sulphur [PDF]

, 2021
Soil microorganisms require a range of essential elements for their optimal functioning and store several elements in the microbial biomass (MB), such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S), as well as other secondary and trace elements.

Effects of Different Long-Term Fertilizer Management Systems on Soil Microbial Biomass Turnover in a Double-Cropping Rice Field in Southern China

Agriculture, 2022
Soil microbial biomass content is usually regarded as an early indicator of changes in soil quality and soil fertility in paddy fields. Soil microbial biomass turnover is mainly influenced by the application of different fertilizer management systems ...

Microbial carbon use efficiency predicted from genome-scale metabolic models [PDF]

, 2019
Respiration by soil bacteria and fungi is one of the largest fluxes of carbon (C) from the land surface. Although this flux is a direct product of microbial metabolism, controls over metabolism and their responses to global change are a major uncertainty
