Soil microorganisms as controllers of atmospheric trace gases (H2, CO, CH4, OCS, N2O, and NO).
TL;DR: It is completely unclear how important microbial diversity is for the control of trace gas flux at the ecosystem level, and different microbial communities may be part of the reason for differences in trace gas metabolism, e.g., effects of nitrogen fertilizers on CH4 uptake by soil; decrease of CH4 production with decreasing temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a sensitive and rapid method for the measurement of total microbial activity using fluorescein diacetate (FDA) in a range of soils
Gillian Adam,Harry J. Duncan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a more sensitive method is proposed adapted from the original method, which provides a more accurate determination of FDA hydrolysis in a wide range of soils, including sandy and clayy soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of the soil environment by vegetation fires, with particular reference to nitrogen transformations: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the influence of vegetation burning (ash and heat) on the soil environment and their relation to nutrient availability, and the relationship between ash deposition and soil fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal involvement in bioweathering and biotransformation of rocks and minerals
TL;DR: In this article, the role of fungi in geomicrobiological processes, emphasizing their deteriorative potential on rock, building stone and mineral surfaces and involvement in the formation of secondary mycogenic minerals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selected soil enzymes: Examples of their potential roles in the ecosystem
TL;DR: A review of potential roles of selected enzymes such as amylase, arylsulphatases, ǫ-glucosidase, cellulose, chitinase, dehydrogenase, phosphatase, protease and urease can be found in this article.
