Change in soil microbial biomass along a rural-urban gradient in Varanasi (U.P., India)
Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2018 Soil microbial biomass has been used as an early indicator of change in soil properties resulting from urbanization. We analyzed the effect of urbanization along a rural–urban gradient on soil microbial biomass and physico-chemical properties of the soil.

Soil microbial respiration adapts to higher and longer warming experiments at the global scale
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Warming can affect soil microbial respiration by changing microbial biomass and community composition. The responses of soil microbial respiration to warming under experimental conditions are also related to background conditions and the experimental ...

Effects of uranium on soil microbial biomass carbon, enzymes, plant biomass and microbial diversity in yellow soils [PDF]
Radioprotection, 2016 We conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of uranium (U) on soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), enzymes, plant biomass and microbial diversity in yellow soils under three concentrations: 0 mg kg-1 (T1, control), 30 mg kg-1 (T2) and 60 mg kg-1 (T3).

A meta-analysis of soil microbial biomass responses to forest disturbances
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Climate warming is likely to increase the frequency and severity of forest disturbances, with uncertain consequences for soil microbial communities and their contribution to ecosystem C dynamics.

Phosphorus in the soil microbial biomass
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1984 Phosphorus in the soil microbial biomass (biomass P) and soil biomass carbon (biomass C) were linearly related in 15 soils (8 grassland, 6 arable, 1 deciduous woodland), with a mean P concentration of 3.3% in the soil biomass. The regression accounted for 82% of the variance in the data.
