Microbial Metabolic Quotient is a Dynamic Indicator of Soil Health: Trends, Implications and Perspectives (Review)

Eurasian Soil Science, 2022
Abstract: There is growing concern about the negative impact of massive fertilizer use on soil health, threatening the environmental quality and sustainability of global agricultural production. Microbial metabolic quotient (qCO2) is an important soil health indicator, used to measure microbial C use efficiency (CUE).

Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon and Freeze‐Thaw Cycles Drive Seasonal Changes in Soil Microbial Quotient Along a Steep Altitudinal Gradient

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2021
AbstractUnderstanding seasonal changes in soil microbial quotient (qMB, i.e., the MBC‐to‐SOC ratio) along altitudinal gradients and their dominant drivers is essential for determining the effects of environmental changes on the soil organic carbon pool.

The microbial respiration quotient as indicator for bioremediation processes

Chemosphere, 1994
Abstract The respiration quotient (Q R ) calculated from the actual (R A ) and potential respiration rate (R P ) after addition of glucose ( Q R = R A R P ) was compared with the PAH concentration of a contaminated site during bioremediation. A correlation coefficient of 0.997 was obtained.

Soil Microbial Metabolic Quotient in Inner Mongolian Grasslands: Patterns and Influence Factors

Chinese Geographical Science, 2019
Microbial metabolic quotient (MMQ) is the rate of soil microbial respiration per unit of microbial biomass, and represents the capacity of soil microbes to utilize soil organic matter. Understanding the regional variation and determinants of MMQ can help predict the responses of soil respiration rate to global climate change.

Soil properties rather than climate and ecosystem type control the vertical variations of soil organic carbon, microbial carbon, and microbial quotient

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020
Abstract Small changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) may have great influences on the climate-carbon (C) cycling feedback. However, there are large uncertainties in predicting the dynamics of SOC in soil profiles at the global scale, especially on the role of soil microbial biomass in regulating the vertical distribution of SOC.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE SOIL MICROBIAL QUALITY MEASUREMENTS OF BIOMASS QUOTIENT AND RESPIRATION QUOTIENT

Water and Environment Journal, 2004
ABSTRACTThe soil microbial biomass quotient (expressed as a percentage of the total soil organic carbon) and the specific rate of carbon‐dioxide production by soil microbes (respiration quotient) are often used as indicators of stress on soil microbial populations.

Diversity of heterotrophic aerobic cultivable microbial communities of soils treated with fumigants and dynamics of metabolic, microbial, and mineralization quotients

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2007
A combination of molecular and classical techniques was used to study the composition, structure, diversity, and dynamics of an aerobic heterotrophic cultivable bacterial community isolated from five different soil samples treated with the fumigant agent 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and further subjected to nitrogen–phosphorous–potassium (NPK ...

Resilience of microbial respiration, respiratory quotient and stable isotope characteristics to soil hydrocarbon addition

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2011
Abstract On the basis of CO2 evolution rate, O2 uptake rate, and 13C isotopic signature of respired CO2, the metabolic response to the addition of 13C labelled n-hexadecane and palmitic acid each with supplementary nitrogen was studied for two topsoils, one under continuous agricultural management and the other under beech forest.
