Microbe Biomass in Relation to Organic Carbon and Clay in Soil

Soil microbes are key to nutrient cycling and soil formation, yet the impact of soil properties on microbe biomass remains unclear. Using 240 soil cores of 0–15 cm depth, taken at random points across six cattle-grazed pastures on an undulating landscape, we evaluated the biomass of microbes in soil...
