Microbial carrying capacity and carbon biomass of plastic marine debris [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2020 Abstract Trillions of plastic debris fragments are floating at sea, presenting a substantial surface area for microbial colonization. Numerous cultivation-independent surveys have characterized plastic-associated microbial biofilms, however, quantitative studies addressing microbial carbon biomass are lacking. Our confocal laser scanning

Drivers and trends of global soil microbial carbon over two decades
Nature Communications, 2022 Soil microorganisms are central to sustain soil functions and services, like carbon and nutrient cycling. Currently, we only have a limited understanding of the spatial-temporal dynamics of soil microorganisms, restricting our ability to assess long-term

Microbial regulation of soil carbon properties under nitrogen addition and plant inputs removal [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Soil microbial communities and their associated enzyme activities play key roles in carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbial communities are sensitive to resource availability, but the mechanisms of microbial regulation have ...

Soil microbial respiration adapts to higher and longer warming experiments at the global scale
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Warming can affect soil microbial respiration by changing microbial biomass and community composition. The responses of soil microbial respiration to warming under experimental conditions are also related to background conditions and the experimental ...

Vertical distributions of soil microbial biomass carbon: a global dataset
Data in Brief, 2020 Soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) is important in regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics along soil profiles by mediating the decomposition and formation of SOC. The dataset (VDMBC) is about the vertical distributions of SOC, SMBC, and soil microbial quotient (SMQ = SMBC/SOC) and their relations to environmental factors across five continents.

Effects of uranium on soil microbial biomass carbon, enzymes, plant biomass and microbial diversity in yellow soils [PDF]
Radioprotection, 2016 We conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of uranium (U) on soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), enzymes, plant biomass and microbial diversity in yellow soils under three concentrations: 0 mg kg-1 (T1, control), 30 mg kg-1 (T2) and 60 mg kg-1 (T3).
