Biodegradation kinetics of monosaccharides and their contribution to basal respiration in tropical forest soils [PDF]
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2011 Low molecular weight (LMW) organic compounds in soil solution are easily biodegradable and could fuel respiration by soil microorganisms. Our main aim was to study the mineralization kinetics of monosaccharides using 14C-radiolabelled glucose. Based on these data and the soil solution concentrations of monosaccharides, we evaluated the contribution of ...

Basal Area Effects on Soil Respiration Rates of a Pinus densiflora Stand
Journal of Agriculture & Life Science, 2016 This study was conducted to determine the relationship between stand and soil environmental factors, and soil respiration rates at various levels of basal area in a 40-year-old natural red pine(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) stand in southern Korea. Soil respiration rates were measured monthly using an infrared gas analyzer system from six basal area ...

Response of soil fungi and biological processes to crop residues in no-tillage system
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016 Soil management and crop rotation can directly affect the soil microbial community. This study aimed at determining soil quality indicators and soilborne fungi in a no-tillage system. A randomized blocks design, in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, was used.

Drivers of inter-year variability of plant production and decomposers across contrasting island ecosystems [PDF]
, 2012 Despite the likely importance of inter-year dynamics of plant production and consumer biota for driving community- and ecosystem-level processes, very few studies have explored how and why these dynamics vary across contrasting ecosystems.
