Microbial volatile fingerprints: potential use for soil/water diagnostics and correlation with traditional microbial parameters [PDF]
This project used an electronic nose (E-nose) system composed of an array of 14 nonspecific conducting polymer sensors for soil and water diagnostics, based on qualitative microbial volatile production patterns. It tested the feasibility of using soil

Perspectives of High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Soil Science
ABSTRACT Soil biogeochemical research requires specific, sensitive, and accurate methods to identify and quantify organic molecules in order to trace biochemical processes and assess element cycling in complex, heterogenous systems. High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has evolved into a transformative tool for unraveling the complex chemical ...

The effects of biocidal treatments on metabolism in soil .1. Fumigation with chloroform
This series of five papers is a study of how biocidal treatments influence metabolism in soil, directed particularly towards the flush of decomposition caused by fumigation, and designed to see if the size of this flush can be used as a measure of the ...

ABSTRACT Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment propels global forest ecosystems toward phosphorus (P) limitation, theoretically triggering the upregulation of microbial P‐acquisition capacity to maintain stoichiometric balance. However, the extent to which N addition regulates this adaptive capacity remains uncertain.

ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment
