More than Meets the Dye: Evaluating Preferential Flow Paths as Microbial Hotspots
Preferential flow paths have been suggested to function as microbial hotspots. This idea is speculative, based on biomass counts rather than assessments of the activity of the microbial population. In this study we used O–sensitive optodes, or optical sensor devices, to observe O depletion by soil m...
