Impact of land use on soils microbial activity
Journal of Water and Land Development, 2017 The article considered the influence the various types of land use on microbial activity of soils and thus using this parameter as a universal test of soil quality. Samples for soil respiration studies were taken from agricultural areas, meadows, forests
