Soil microbial biomass: The eco-physiological approach
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2010Abstract In the 1980s ecosystem research projects were implemented world-wide since there was a pressing need to quantify the impacts of anthropogenic pollutants. Soil ecosystem analyses concentrated first on the quantification of the element and energy transfer between pools.

Urease activity of microbial biomass in soils
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1999Separation of the diAerent pools of enzyme activity in soils (intra- and extracellular) is needed to assess the contribution of the microbial community to specific enzyme reactions. Microbial biomass C and N were determined by the chloroform fumigation method, and urease activity was assayed at the optimal pH (THAM buAer, pH 9.0) in 10 surface soils ...

The Significance of Soil Microbial Biomass Estimations
2017This chapter discusses the significance of utilizing microbial biomass values for investigating nutrient cycling in disturbed and nondisturbed ecosystems. Most biomass estimations are from temperate zone soils under agricultural cultivation, grassland, or forest.

Soil Microbial Biomass and Activity Estimations in Forest Soils
1992The study of the relationship between the three carbon compartments: soil organic carbon, organic Utter and soil microbial biomass has high priority in recent microbial ecological research. With respect to terrestrial ecosystem analysis studies on carbon input and microbial biomass size have provided a basis for estimating nutrient and energy budgets.

Seasonal variability of microbial biomass phosphorus in urban soils
Science of The Total Environment, 2015Urban soils have been formed through human activities. Seasonal evaluation with time-control procedure are essential for plant, and activity of microorganisms. Therefore, these processes are crucial in the urban area due to geochemical changes in the past years.

Biogeographical patterns of soil molecular microbial biomass
2011The spatial organization of soil microbial communities over large areas and the identification of environmental factors structuring their distribution have been liUle investigated. The overall objective of this study was to determine the spatial paUerning of microbial biomass in soils on wide extent and to rank the environmental fiUers most influencing

Microbial Biomass and Necromass in Austrian Soils
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of healthy soils. Among the sources contributing to the SOC pool, the role of microbial biomass and especially necromass is often overlooked. Microbial necromass sometimes reaches 40 times of the microbial biomass, emphasizing the role of soil microorganisms in carbon sequestration.Dmytro Monoshyn +6 more

Microbial Biomass in Broad-Leaved Forest Soils
2009Long-term analysis of ecosystem processes involves, to a great extent, inventories of element and energy transfers between biotic and abiotic compartments. In terrestrial ecosystems, the heterotrophic activity of soil micro-organisms plays a central role in this element and energy transfer as it involves the release of organic nutrients and mineral ...
