Microbial responses to doses of cover plant straw in cerrado piauiense oxisol
Bioscience Journal, 2020 Carbon and nitrogen from the soil microbial biomass play a significant role in the rotation of C and N, and promote nutrient cycling. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate changes in the soil microbial biomass with growing doses of cover ...

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.

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).

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 ...

RESPONSE OF SOIL MICROBIAL BIOMASS TO CeO2 NANOPARTICLES
EQA, 2011 But de ce travail a été d'évaluer l'impact d'une exposition chronique de nanoparticules de CeO2 (NP diamètre compris entre 50 et 150 nm), sur la biomasse microbienne du sol. L'évaluation de l'effet qui peuvent avoir sur la qualité du sol a été expérimentée sur horizons A1 et A2 d'Epileptic Cambisols en utilisant concentrations de 100 ppm avec des ...
