Abstract:
... Soil parent materials are potential arable land resources that have great value for utilization. Soil bacteria play vital roles in soil formation, and soil parent material provides the basic nutritional environment for the development of the microbial community. Due to the extremely limited available nutrients in most parent materials, fertilization management is important for providing necessary ...

DNA; Thermus thermophilus; Vibrio fischeri; bacterial communities; community structure; genes; genetic markers; microbial biomass; phospholipid fatty acids; ribosomal RNA; sequence analysis; soil bacteria; soil sampling; soil types
Abstract:
... Many recent studies rely on 16S rRNA-based sequencing approaches to analyze bacterial or archaeal communities found in soil and other environmental samples. While this approach is valuable for determining the relative abundances of different microbial taxa found in a given sample, it does not provide information on how the abundances of targeted microbes differ across samples. Here we demonstrate ...

Abstract:
... Subarctic tundra soils store large quantities of the global organic carbon (C) pool as the decomposition of plant litter and soil organic matter is limited by low temperatures and limiting nutrients. Mechanisms that drive organic matter decomposition are still poorly understood due to our limited knowledge of microbial communities and their responses to changing conditions. In subarctic tundra lar ...

4. Microbial carbon use efficiency and biomass turnover times depending on soil depth – Implications for carbon cycling

Subject:
DNA; carbon; carbon cycle; forest soils; forests; microbial biomass; microbial communities; mineral soils; organic horizons; organic soils; pastures; soil depth; soil microorganisms; topsoil
Abstract:
... Processing of organic carbon (C) by soil microorganisms is a key process of terrestrial C cycling. For this reason we studied (i) microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) defined as C allocated to growth over organic C taken up by the microbial community, and (ii) the turnover time of microbial biomass in a pasture and in two forest soils. We hypothesized that microbial CUE decreases in mineral soils ...

Abstract:
... Cycling of low molecular weight dissolved organic nitrogen compounds constitutes an important component of soil organic matter turnover in soils. We determined how rapidly grassland soils can cycle urea, compared to the amino acid l-alanine, and the peptide l-trialanine. Using naturally occurring concentrations of 14C-labelled compounds the rates of removal from soil solution and subsequent minera ...

Abstract:
... A better understanding of the linkages between aboveground and belowground biotic communities is needed for more accurate predictions about how ecosystems may be altered by climate change, land management, or biodiversity loss. Soil microbes are strongly affected by multiple factors including local abiotic environmental conditions and plant characteristics. To find out how soil microbial communiti ...

Abstract:
... The ability of soils to detain the onset of a disease in a susceptible host is called soil suppressiveness. Soil suppressiveness can often be attributed to the activity of soil microorganisms. Considering that soil management can drastically affect microbial soil communities, the objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of different crop systems and tillage practices on the suppression of ...
