The Influence of Selected Meteorological Factors on Microbial Biomass and Mineralization of Two Organic Fertilizers

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2011
A mesocosm study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of short-term rainfall and temperature variation on soil microbial biomass and bacteria to fungi ratio. In addition, the relation between the decomposition process of two organic fertilizers,

Straw return combined with water-saving irrigation increases microbial necromass accumulation by accelerating microbial growth-turnover in Mollisols of paddy fields

Geoderma
Soil microorganisms are key to the flow of carbon through soils. As the most carbon-rich soils, Mollisols are very sensitive to disturbance and more prone to be carbon sources than carbon sinks. To understand how the microbial physiology [i.e., microbial

Warming but Not Nitrogen Addition Alters the Linear Relationship Between Microbial Respiration and Biomass

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Soil contains a large amount of organic matter, which constitutes the largest terrestrial carbon pool. Heterotrophic or microbial respiration (Rh) that results from microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) constitutes a substantial proportion

Altitudinal patterns of soil and microbial C:N:P stoichiometry in subtropical forests in Daming Mountain, South China

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionAltitude-induced variations in hydrothermal conditions and vegetation affect the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents in both soil and microbial biomass.

Microbial Enzymes for Biomass Conversion

Annual Review of Microbiology
Plant biomass has emerged as a cornerstone of the global bioenergy landscape because of its abundance and cost-effectiveness. The cell wall of plant biomass is an intricate network of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose by holoenzymes converts these polymers into monosaccharides and paves the way for the ...

Estimation of microbial biomass based on water-extractable organic matter from air-dried soils from Japanese forests and pasture

Discover Soil
Water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) obtained from air-dried soil samples can be used to estimate microbial biomass instead of chloroform fumigation extraction (CFE) using fresh, moist soils and toxic solvents. However, the accuracy of such WEOM-based

Seasonal Changes in the Soil Microbiome on Chernozem Soil in Response to Tillage, Fertilization, and Cropping System

Agronomy
Soil microbial communities are crucial for ecosystem services, soil fertility, and the resilience of agroecosystems. This study investigated how long-term (31 years) agronomic practices—tillage, NPK fertilization, and cropping system—along with measured ...

Cover crop and tillage effects on soil microbial communities in a corn cropping system

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Soil microbial communities have numerous soil ecological and physiological functions. However, knowledge is lacking on the interaction effects of no‐till and cover crops (CC) practices on these soil health indicators.
