Controls of bioavailability and biodegradability of dissolved organic matter in soils
Bernd Marschner,Karsten Kalbitz +1 more
TLDR
In this article, the controlling factors for DOM biodegradability can be divided into three groups, namely, intrinsic DOM quality parameters, soil and solution parameters and external factors, and the major obstacle for a better understanding of the controlled properties of DOM is the lack of a standardised methodology or at least systematic comparisons between the large number of methods used to assess DOM bioregradability.About:

SOM fractionation methods: Relevance to functional pools and to stabilization mechanisms
Margit von Lützow,Ingrid Kögel-Knabner,Klemens Ekschmitt,Heinz Flessa,Georg Guggenberger,Egbert Matzner,Bernd Marschner +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the SOM fractions obtained with such operational fractionation procedures are described in terms of their pool sizes, chemical properties, and turnover rates, and the main objective is to evaluate these operationally defined fractions with respect to their suitability to describe functional SOM pools that could be used to parameterize SOM turnover models.

Jastrow,Rattan Lal,Johannes Lehmann,Anthony G. O'Donnell,William J. Parton,David Whitehead,Michael Zimmermann +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review highlights knowledge of the amount of carbon stored in soils globally, and the potential for carbon sequestration in soil, and discusses successful methods and models used to determine and estimate carbon pools and fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of soil-derived dissolved organic matter as related to its properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent and rate of DOM biodegradation from less humified organic material (straw, litter and fermentation layers of forest floors) were quantified by CO 2 evolution.

Kramer,C. Kramer,Peter Leinweber,Janet Rethemeyer,Andreas Schäffer,Michael W. I. Schmidt,Lorenz Schwark,Guido L. B. Wiesenberg +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate how relevant recalcitrance is for the long-term stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM) or its fractions, based on a critical overview of available methods and on results from a cooperative research program.

The carbon we do not see : The impact of low molecular weight compounds on carbon dynamics and respiration in forest soils - A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of low molecular weight (LMW) DOM compounds in the C dynamics of temperate and boreal forest soils focussing in particular on organic acids, amino acids and sugars was assessed.

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.
