Latitudinal shifts of soil microbial biomass seasonality. [PDF]
PNAS Nexus, 2022 AbstractSoil microbes ultimately drive the mineralization of soil organic carbon and thus ecosystem functions. We compiled a dataset of the seasonality of microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and developed a semi-mechanistic model to map monthly MBC across the globe.

Responses of soil microbial biomass, microbial entropy and soil-microorganism stoichiometry imbalance to different utilization patterns in the artificial grassland of karst desertification area [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Different utilization patterns can alter the C, N, P cycles and their ecological stoichiometry characteristics in grassland soils. However, the effects of different utilization patterns on soil microbial biomass, microbial entropy and soil-microorganism ...

Microbial Biomass in Paddy Soil [PDF]
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1985 The authors investigated the role of microorganisms in the paddy soil ecosystem and the influence of fertilizer and manure application on the soil “microbial biomass” in paddy soils using Jenkinson’s fumigation method. The results obtained are summarized as follows.

Positive Effects of Organic Amendments on Soil Microbes and Their Functionality in Agro-Ecosystems
Plants, 2023 Soil microbial characteristics are considered to be an index for soil quality evaluation. It is generally believed that organic amendments replacing chemical fertilizers have positive effects on changing microbial activity and community structure ...
