An evaluation of the substrate-induced respiration method
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1999Abstract Two ways of measuring substrate-induced respiration (SIR) following addition of glucose to soil, viz. solid glucose or glucose in solution, were tested on 13 soils sampled from arable, grassland and woodland sites ranging from pH 3.2 to 7.5. Generally similar patterns of CO2 evolution were found between soils following addition of glucose as

Substrate-induced respiration as a measure of microbial biomass in vermicomposting studies
Bioresource Technology, 2010Here it is evaluated the relationship between substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and microbial biomass C (C(mic), estimated by chloroform fumigation-extraction) in order to establish SIR as a quick technique to determine microbial biomass in vermicomposting processes.

Effects of water amendment on basal and substrate-induced respiration rates of mineral soils
Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1989We studied the effects of amending soils with different volumes of water or glucose solution on respiration rates measured as CO2 evolution. Basal respiration was not significantly affected by the volume of water amendment, but substrate-induced respiration in static soil solutions was significantly reduced by increasing water contents.

The municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash is being increasingly used to construct landfill covers in Sweden. In post-closure, owing to increased cover infiltration, the percolating water can add external organic matter to bottom ash. The addition and subsequent degradation of this external organic matter can affect metal mobility through ...

Soil respiration measurements are an established method to test the abundance, activity and vitality of the soil microorganisms. However, abnormal progressions of soil respiration curves impede a clear interpretation of the data. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the microbial structure during the formation of phenomena like ...

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1994
The effect of liming on microbial biomass C and respiration activity was studied in four liming experiments on young pine plantations. One of the experimental sites had been limed and planted 12 years before, two 5 years before, and one a year before soil sampling. The youngest experimental site was also treated with ash fertilizer.
