Responses of soil heterotrophic respiration and microbial biomass to organic and conventional production systems

Frontiers in Soil Science, 2022
The effects of organic and conventional production systems on crop productivity have been greatly explored, but their effects on soil microbial processes were often neglected.

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 ...

Global ecological predictors of the soil priming effect. [PDF]

, 2019
Identifying the global drivers of soil priming is essential to understanding C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We conducted a survey of soils across 86 globally-distributed locations, spanning a wide range of climates, biotic communities, and soil ...

Effects on Soil Organic Carbon and Microbial Biomass Carbon of Different Tillage [PDF]

Advances in Computer Science Research, 2015
To research data of soil organic carbon content and Soil microbial biomass carbon of different tillage, the results show that less tillage measures could significantly increase the active soil organic carbon content and Soil microbial biomass carbon. In addition, the contribution to increase organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon is much higher ...

Microbial fertilizer regulates C:N:P stoichiometry and alleviates phosphorus limitation in flue-cured tobacco planting soil

Scientific Reports, 2023
Fertilization can be optimized and managed during the flue-cured tobacco growing period by studying the response of soil and microbial biomass stoichiometric characteristics to fertilization.

Biomass-Derived Carbon Anode for High-Performance Microbial Fuel Cells

Catalysts, 2022
Although microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been developed over the past decade, they still have a low power production bottleneck for practical engineering due to the ineffective interfacial bioelectrochemical reaction between exoelectrogens and anode surfaces using traditional carbonaceous materials.

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
