TL;DR: In this paper, the FDHA in both soil pretreatments showed positive correlation with organic matter (0.98∗∗ for field moist soil and 0.92∗ ∗ for air-dried soil) and clay content.

Abstract: Fluorescein diacetate hydrolyzing activity (FDHA) of soils, both in field moist and air dried, of different agro-ecosystems in alluvial soil was studied. Field moist soils recorded higher values than in air-dried soils, but they showed significant positive correlation (0.93∗∗). FDHA in both soil pretreatments showed positive correlation with organic matter (0.98∗∗ for field moist soil and 0.92∗∗ for air-dried soil) and clay content (0.85∗∗ for field moist soil and 0.82∗ for air-dried soil) of the soils. Multiple regression analysis showed that the stabilization of FDHA in the studied soils was due to organic matter-enzyme complex. Among the organic matter fractions, humus C plays dominating role to control the FDHA of the soils.

TL;DR: Though acid mine drainage affected soils had higher microbial biomass and activities due to higher organic matter content than those of the baseline soils, the ratios of microbial parameters/organic carbon indicated suppression of microbial growth and activitiesdue to acidity stress.

TL;DR: Overall, there was a tendency for increased soil major nutrients and microbial traits with Parthenium weed invasion, and the magnitude and/or direction of the weed invasion is affected by complex interactions among environmental factors that might change across invaded habitats and survey periods, making broad generalizations un-informative for management.

Abstract: Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) is an annual weed of worldwide significance in grasslands and riparian corridors. In view of the invasibility and known allelochemical properties exhibited by its presence in a given habitat, the weed is hypothesized to change soil properties significantly.

Abstract: Soil microbial activity and diversity are affected by organic sources applied to improve soil quality and fluctuate seasonally. We investigated the effects of municipal compost (MC), poultry litter (PL), and cover crops of spring oats and red clover (RC) on soil enzyme activities, and soil bacterial community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) in a Mexico silt loam in North Central Missouri, USA. Temporal patterns of these parameters were observed by periodic five soil sampling from spring to fall over a two year period. MC increased soil dehydrogenase (DH) activity consistently beginning about three months after MC application; fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolytic activity significantly began to increase by the September of the first year but fluctuated during the following period. DH activity responded more directly to the amount or properties of organic residues in soils while FDA hydrolysis and CLPP were generally influenced by composition of organic sources, and enzyme activities and CLPP showed seasonal variation, which depended on organic sources and soil moisture. MC and cover crops may be useful organic sources for enhancing general soil microbial activity and altering soil microbial diversity, respectively. Because microbial activities and diversity are dynamic and subject to seasonal changes, the effects of organic amendments on these parameters should be investigated frequently during a growing season.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of imazethapyr, an imidazolinone derivative on the soil microbial biomass was investigated in a clay loam soil, and the results suggest that there may be a risk in monocultural practices that require repeated herbicide treatments.

Abstract: The effects of imazethapyr, an imidazolinone derivative on the soil microbial biomass was investigated in a clay loam soil. Imazethapyr was applied in a field trial at the recommended field rate for soybean weeding, 50 g a.i. ha-1. In laboratory experiments the herbicide was incorporated at the field rate and 10-fold and 100-fold higher. In both the field trials and the laboratory experiments, the field rate of imazethapyr had no adverse effects on the microbiological processes tested. But at 10-fold and 100-fold higher rates, the herbicide decreased the biomass-C content and dehydrogenase activity and increased the hydrolytic capacity and protease and catalase activity. These findings suggest that there may be a risk in monocultural practices that require repeated herbicide treatments.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the microbial biomass, fluorescein diacetate and dehydrogenase activity alone and expressed on a soil organic matter basis along with the soil respiration parameters can be helpful in assessing the effects of arsenic on the size and activity of microbial biomass in soils.
