Microbial community responses to alternative management may be indicative of soil quality
change. In this study, soils were collected from research plots over 2 years and from …

In arable systems, seasonal fluctuations of microbiological properties can be significant. We
hypothesized that adaptation to soil environmental conditions may contribute to the variation …

Soil and rhizosphere microbial communities in agroecosystems may be affected by soil,
climate, plant species, and management. The management and environmental factors …

A bstract Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles were measured in soils from organic, low-
input, and conventional farming systems that are part of the long term Sustainable …

Evaluation of the soil rhizosphere has been limited by the lack of robust assessments that
can explore the vast complex structure and diversity of soil microbial communities. Our …

Soil microbes play a key role in soil health, and understanding the functional role of this
living component of soil organic matter is critical to developing sustainable systems in major …

Abstract Analysis of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles extracted from soils is a rapid and
inexpensive procedure that holds great promise in describing soil microbial community …

Soil microbiological parameters may be the earliest predictors of soil quality changes.
Recently, molecular techniques such as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles have been …

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were used to 'fingerprint'soil microbial communities that
evolved during 25 years of wheat-fallow cropping following native mixed prairie sod at …

Biological soil characteristics such as microbial biomass, community structures, activities,
and functions may provide important information on environmental and anthropogenic …
