Effects of ciprofloxacin on microbial biomass carbon and carbon metabolism diversity of soil microbial communities

Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2013
To evaluate the effects of ciprofloxacin(CIP) residues on the microbiological characteristics of soil,the microbial biomass carbon(MBC) and carbon-source metabolic functions of the soil microbial communities exposed to CIP were studied by the method of chloroform fumigation extraction and Biolog technology.The results showed that the content of MBC of ...

Stoichiometry of soil microbial biomass carbon and microbial biomass nitrogen in China's temperate and alpine grasslands

European Journal of Soil Biology, 2017
Soil microorganisms play a key role in terrestrial ecological processes, especially in soil organic matter (SOM) formation and nutrient recycling. To perform these essential functions, microbes require mineral nutrients and labile C from the soil solution in amounts that roughly follow the Redfield ratio.

Microbial biomass carbon and enzyme activities of urban soils in Beijing

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2011
To promote rational and sustainable use of soil resources and to maintain the urban soil quality, it is essential to assess urban ecosystem health. In this study, the microbiological properties of urban soils in Beijing and their spatial distribution patterns across the city were evaluated based on measurements of microbial biomass carbon and urease ...

Effect of vegetation type and season on microbial biomass carbon in Central Himalayan forest soils, India

CATENA, 2018
Soil microbial biomass is an important component of soil organic matter constituting from 2 to 5% of the soil organic carbon and play a significant role in the cycling of nutrients and overall organic matter dynamics.

Soil Organic Carbon, Microbial Biomass, and Mineralizable Carbon and Nitrogen in Sorghum

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1995
Abstract Quantifying changes in soil microbial biomass and mineralizable C and N is important in understanding the dynamics of the active soil C and N pools. Our objectives were to quantify long‐term and seasonal changes in soil organic C (SOC), soil microbial biomass C (SMBC) and N (SMBN), and mineralizable C and

Conservation agriculture practices increase soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen in agricultural soils: A global meta-analysis

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018
Conservation agriculture through the use of crop residue retention and no-tillage (NT) has been widely practiced to improve agricultural soil quality, such as to increase soil organic carbon (C) content and the microbial population size.

Mineralization of organic carbon and formation of microbial biomass in soil: Effects of clay content and composition and the mechanisms involved

, 2020
Mineralization of soil organic carbon and CO2 emission from the soil is slowed by interactions between organic matter and minerals. The main minerals involved are clay minerals and oxides but there is limited understanding of their effects when combined,

Effects of parent material on soil microbial biomass carbon and basal respiration within young afforested areas

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2019
Afforestation is economically and ecologically important for protecting land and improving soil quality. This study evaluates how soil basal respiration, physicochemical and microbiological characteristics are affected by parent material variety in ...

Microbial necromass ≠ microbial biomass: Microbial death pathways affect soil organic carbon sequestration

2023
The last two decades soil organic matter research developed rapidly, uncovering a central role of soil microorganisms in the sequestration and storage of soil organic carbon (C), especially through accumulation of their necromass. However, despite strong evidence that the so-called soil microbial carbon pump is an important process, the direct ...
