Are the soil microbial biomass and basal respiration governed by the climatic regime?

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1990
Abstract Soils in C equilibrium from various climatic regions were sampled to assess the influence of macroclimate on soil microbial biomass (C mic ) and basal respiration (CO 2 -evolution). C mic was measured using the substrate-induced respiration technique.

Basal and specific microbial respiration in semiarid agricultural soils: Organic amendment and irrigation management effects

Geomicrobiology Journal, 1993
Evolution of microbial activity in semiarid agricultural soils was studied measuring the basal (CO2 evolved) and specific microbial respiration (qCO2). The effects of straw residue management (buried or removed), irrigation (dry or irrigation farming), and chemical composition of the soils (calcareous, gypsiferous, or saline) were analyzed.

Microbial biomass-C and basal respiration of fine earth and highly altered rock fragments of two forest soils

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2001
Abstract Highly altered rock fragments (dimension limits between 2 and 10 mm) from two sandstone-derived soils, Cavalla and Buca, of the Vallombrosa Forest, Italy, are porous and manifest chemical properties similar to those of fine earth.

Temperature Sensitivity (Q10) of Soil Basal Respiration as a Function of Available Carbon Substrate, Temperature, and Moisture

Eurasian Soil Science, 2020
Basal respiration is one of the key indicators of soil C mineralization. Temperature sensitivity (Q10) of basal respiration is important for predicting changes in C mineralization due to warming. A modified methodology of Q10 determination is proposed. Soil samples were incubated at 25°C with periodic short-term (2 h) decline of temperature to 15°C and

Changes in lead availability affect bacterial community structure but not basal respiration in a microcosm study with forest soils

Science of The Total Environment, 2006
This study investigates the effects of Pb during time on the bacterial communities of forest soils using water-extractable Pb concentrations in the soil solution as predictors of Pb bioavailability. In a microcosm experiment we applied increasing concentrations of Pb(NO(3))(2) solutions (0.5, 2, 8, 32 mM) to 5 forest soils of pH6.5.

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

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2018
ABSTRACTAfforestation 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 afforesting degraded areas.

[Effects of Miscanthus floridulus on microbial biomass and basal respiration in heavy metals polluted soils].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2009
Vegetation coverage is an important parameter in terrestrial ecological process, meteorological, and climatic models. By eliminating the errors from the precision of image classification and the noises of remote sensing images, and by using the actual data from fieldwork, this paper determined the maximum and minimum values of normalized difference ...

Response of soil basal respiration rates, microbial attributes, and organic matter composition to land‐use change

Soil Science Society of America Journal
Abstract Land‐use change directly impacts soil basal respiration (Br), soil microbial attributes, and soil organic matter (SOM) composition. However, the role of soil microbial attributes and SOM composition in influencing soil Br under land‐use changes remains largely undetermined.
