Effects of Cu and Zn contamination on soil biological indicators of environmental quality
Some important biological parameters, namely, microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen, microbial quotient, metabolic quotient and soil enzyme activity in a heavy metal contaminated soil around a Copper (Cu)-Zinc (Zn) smelter in Fuyang city ...

Global Climate Change Effects on Soil Microbial Biomass Stoichiometry in Alpine Ecosystems
Alpine ecosystems are sensitive to global climate change-factors, which directly or indirectly affect the soil microbial biomass stoichiometry. In this paper, we have compared the soil microbial biomass stoichiometry ratios of alpine ecosystems using the

Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed grasslands [PDF]
Plant-soil interactions are central to short-term carbon (C) cycling through the rapid transfer of recently assimilated C from plant roots to soil biota. In grassland ecosystems, changes in C cycling are likely to be influenced by land use and management

Sources of nitrogen for winter wheat in organic cropping systems [PDF]
In organic cropping systems, legumes, cover crops, residue incorporation, and manure application are used to maintain soil fertility, but the contributions of these management practices to soil nitrogen (N) supply remain obscure.
