Journal ArticleDOI
A physiological method for the quantitative measurement of microbial biomass in soils
TL;DR: The respiratory method provides reproducible estimates of biomass size within 1–3 h after soil amendment, and can be combined without difficulty with a selective inhibition method for determination of bacterial and fungal contributions to soil metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ratios of microbial biomass carbon to total organic carbon in arable soils
TL;DR: A comparative regression analysis of permanent monoculture plots with continuous crop rotation plots showed both to be highly significantly different at the P = 0.001 level: the regression line of continuous crop rotations shows a steeper slope, suggesting that a higher concentration of microbial carbon is characteristic of the crop rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolic quotient for CO2 (qCO2) as a specific activity parameter to assess the effects of environmental conditions, such as ph, on the microbial biomass of forest soils
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of eco-physiological quotients (qCO2 and qD) on microbial biomasses from soils of different cropping histories
TL;DR: In this article, metabolic quotients for CO2 and microbial-C-loss were studied on soil microbial communities under long-term monoculture (M) or continuous crop rotations (CR).
