Resistance and resilience responses of a range of soil eukaryote and bacterial taxa to fungicide application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The application of plant protection products has the potential to significantly affect soil microbial community structure and function. However, the extent to which soil microbial communities from different trophic levels exhibit resistance and ...

Positive effects of plant diversity on soil microbial biomass and activity are associated with more root biomass production

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2017
This study aims to explore relationships between plant diversity and soil microbial function and the factors that mediate the relationships. Artificial plant communities (1, 2, 4 and 8 species) were established filled with natural and mine tailing soils,

A meta-analysis of soil microbial biomass responses to forest disturbances

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Climate warming is likely to increase the frequency and severity of forest disturbances, with uncertain consequences for soil microbial communities and their contribution to ecosystem C dynamics.

Soil microbial biomass and function are altered by 12 years of crop rotation [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL, 2016
Declines in plant diversity will likely reduce soil microbial biomass, alter microbial functions, and threaten the provisioning of soil ecosystem services.

Microbial Communities as Affected by Clarithromycin Addition in Four Acid Soils (NW Iberian Peninsula)

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Soil Science, 2023
A laboratory experiment was carried out to investigate the response of the microbial communities in acid agricultural soils located in the NW Iberian Peninsula to the presence of clarithromycin. Four soils, with different organic C content and similar pH,

Measuring soil microbial biomass using an automated procedure

open access: yes, 2011
Here we outline the development of the first automated procedure for measuring soil microbial biomass carbon (biomass C) by Fumigation–Extraction (FE) and on which this Citation Classic is based. The method (and its later variations) has been used widely

Effects of initial microbial biomass abundance on respiration during pine litter decomposition.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
IMPORTANCE:Microbial biomass is one of the most common microbial parameters used in land carbon (C) cycle models, however, it is notoriously difficult to measure accurately.
