...For Al (and to a lesser extent for Fe), the inhibitory effect of heavy metals on soil respiration and the subsequent accumulation of soil OM has been shown in numerous field and laboratory studies (Tyler et al., 1989; Giller et al., 1998; Adriano, 2001)....

...No relation exists between microbial diversity and decomposition of organic matter, and a reduction in any group of species has little effect on overall soil process because the surviving microorganisms can carry out the decomposition of organic matter (Andren et al., 1995; Brookes, 1995; Giller et al., 1998)....

...Soil microbial diversity and activity are both negatively affected by excessive concentration of HMs. Indigenous bacterial populations (Giller et al., 1998) and AM fungi (del Val et al., 1999) must be adapted to metal toxicity and have evolved abilities to enable them to survive in polluted soils....
