Microbial respiration per unit microbial biomass depends on litter layer carbon-to-nitrogen ratio
Soil microbial respiration is a central process in the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. In this study, I tested the effect of the carbon-to-nitrogen (C : N) ratio of soil litter layers on microbial respiration in absolute terms and per unit microbial biomass C. For this purpose, a global data set on microbial respiration per unit microbial biomass C – termed the metabolic quotient (qCO2) – was com...
متن کاملEstimation of Microbial Biomass Carbon and Nitrogen in Bangladesh Soils
In order to estimate the microbial biomass content and to quantify the amount of available plant nutrients derived from microbial biornass in Bangladesh soils, biomass-C, -N, and available-N eoptents using samples from 8 soils were measured by applying the chloroform fumigation and drying-rewetting methods, respectively. 1)

than other regions of the world (Mitchell et al., 1990; Maxwell, 1992). Summer air temperatures in northern To investigate the interactions among mineral N, C availability, Alaska are predicted to increase 3 to 68C over current microbial biomass, and respiration in arctic soils, we sampled soils five times during a growing season from a toposequence on a slope levels, whereas precipitation duri...
متن کاملEffects of vegetation type on microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen in subalpine mountain forest soils.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Microbial biomass plays an important role in nutrient transformation and conservation of forest and grassland ecosystems. The objective of this study was to determine the microbial biomass among three vegetation types in subalpine mountain forest soils of Taiwan. METHODS Tatachia is a typical high-altitude subalpine temperate forest ecosystem in Taiwan with an elevation of ...
متن کاملRototillage, disking, and subsequent irrigation: effects on soil nitrogen dynamics, microbial biomass, and carbon dioxide efflux.
Spring and summer tillage are usually followed by irrigation before planting crops in California's summer-dry Mediterranean-type climate. Tillage treatments such as rototillage or disking are known to disturb the soil structure to different extents, but little is known about how the intensity of a tillage event and subsequent irrigation affect the microbial biomass, respiration, CO2 efflux, and...
