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 ...

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.

Precipitation Changes Regulate Plant and Soil Microbial Biomass Via Plasticity in Plant Biomass Allocation in Grasslands: A Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 In theory, changes in the amount of rainfall can change plant biomass allocation and subsequently influence coupled plant-soil microbial processes.

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.

Assessment of soil microbial properties in some regions affected by climate change [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2023 Climate change and human activity may have profound impacts on ecosystems sustainability and soil degradation. Within this context, soil microbial properties represented by microbial biomass and enzymatic activities have been used as soil quality ...

Microbial biomass in paddy soil [PDF]
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1984 The authors investigated the role of microorganisms in paddy soil ecosystems and the influence of fertilizer and manure applications on the soil microbial biomass in paddy soils based on direct count using a fluorescence microscope. The results are summarized as follows.

Microbial Biomass and Activity in Lead-Contaminated Soil [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1999 ABSTRACT Microbial community diversity, potential microbial activity, and metal resistance were determined in three soils whose lead contents ranged from 0.00039 to 48 mmol of Pb kg of soil −1 . Biomass levels were directly related to lead content. A molecular analysis of 16S rRNAs suggested that each soil
