Accounting for variability in soil microbial communities of temperate upland grassland ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the factors which regulate soil microbial community organization and function in temperate upland grassland ecosystems were determined across a gradient of three grassland types; Festuca-Agrostis-Galium grassland (unimproved grassland, National Vegetation Classification (NVC), U4a); Festuca and Agrostis, Galium, Holcus-Trifolium sub-community (semi-improved Grassland, NVC-U4b); Lolium-Cynosurus grassland; and Festuca, Agrost
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant species and nitrogen effects on soil biological properties of temperate upland grasslands

TL;DR: The results suggest that in the short term, the abundance and activity of soil micro-organisms in upland grasslands are regulated more by plant species traits than by a direct effect of nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing shifts in microbial community structure across a range of grasslands of differing management intensity using CLPP, PLFA and community DNA techniques

TL;DR: Correlation analysis of the CVA data for each microbial analysis showed a small, but significant, level of matching between the CLPP and PLFA data suggesting these two analyses may be reporting on similar members of the microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogens in livestock waste, their potential for movement through soil and environmental pollution
TL;DR: This review highlights some of the many factors that are likely to influence the degree of pollution by their effect on both the vertical and horizontal transport of microorganisms through soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement of the protozoan pathogen Cryptosporidium parvum through three contrasting soil types
TL;DR: The potential for transfer of the protozoan pathogen Cryptosporidium parvum through soil to land drains and, subsequently, water courses following the application of livestock waste to land was monitored in the laboratory using simulated rainfall and intact soil cores.
