Vertical distributions of soil microbial biomass carbon: a global dataset. [PDF]

Data 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.

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

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).

Effects of heavy metals on soil microbial biomass carbon [PDF]

MOJ Biology and Medicine, 2019
This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of heavy metals on soil microbial processes. The effects of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) at different concentrations were investigated over a period of eight weeks. Chloride salts of Pb and Cd were added singly and in combination to soil samples at room temperature (270C) in different polythene bags.

The changes in microbial biomass C and N in long-term field experiments

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2008
Microbial biomass nitrogen and carbon were studied in long-term field experiments with continuous cultivation of silage maize and with crop rotation. A positive effect of organic fertilizers on the microbial biomass nitrogen and the carbon content in ...

Short-term winter snow reduction stimulates soil nutrient leaching without changing the microbial biomass in an alpine fir forest

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Winter snowpack maintains a relatively warm environment for soil microorganisms and modulates soil biogeochemical cycles in cold ecosystems; however, snowpack reduction induced by climate warming may change soil dissolved nutrient leaching and microbial ...

Soil Microbial Biomass And Activity In A Cork Oak Savanna [PDF]

, 2010
Cork oak savannas are composed by a sparse tree canopy (30-70 trees/ha) and a grassland understory predominantly composed of C3 annuals that survive the hot and dry Mediterranean summers as seeds in the soil.

Mycorrhizas and biomass crops: opportunities for future sustainable development [PDF]

, 2009
Central to soil health and plant productivity in natural ecosystems are in situ soil microbial communities, of which mycorrhizal fungi are an integral component, regulating nutrient transfer between plants and the surrounding soil via extensive mycelial ...
