Decomposition of wheat straw and stabilization of microbial products
Author(s):Voroney, R. P.; Anderson, D. W.; Paul, E. A.
Date Issued:1989-02
Format:born digital; articles
This research examined the effects of soil environment on the decomposition of cereal crop residues and stabilization of microbial products in the field. Microplots at semi-arid and subhumid field sites were amended with ...
Conversion of biovolume measurements of soil organisms, grown under various moisture tensions, to biomass and their nutrient content
Author(s):van Veen, Johannes A.; Paul, Eldor A.
Date Issued:1979-04
Format:born digital; articles
Direct microscopic measurements of biomass in soil require conversion factors for calculation of the mass of microorganisms from the measured volumes. These factors were determined for two bacteria, five fungi, and a yeast ...
Effects of agronomic treatments on structure and function of ammonia-oxidizing communities
Author(s):Phillips, Carol J.; Paul, Eldor A.; Prosser, James I.; Gross, Katherine L.; Dollhopf, Sherry L.; Harris, Dave
Date Issued:2000-12
Format:born digital; articles
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different agricultural treatments and plant communities on the diversity of ammonia oxidizer populations in soil. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), coupled ...
Comparative diversity of ammonia oxidizer 16S rRNA gene sequences in native, tilled, and successional soils
Author(s):Kowalchuk, George A.; Bruns, Mary Ann; Stephen, John R.; Paul, Eldor A.; Prosser, James I.
Date Issued:1999-07
Format:born digital; articles
Autotrophic ammonia oxidizer (AAO) populations in soils from native, tilled, and successional treatments at the Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Research site in southwestern Michigan were compared to assess ...
Comparison of nitrification rates in blueberry and forest soils
Author(s):Paul, Eldor A.; Ravenscroft, John; Serce, Sedat; Throop, Philip A.; Hanson, Eric J.
Date Issued:2002-01
Format:born digital; articles
Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) are long lived perennial plants that are grown on acidic soils. The goal of this study was to determine how blueberry cultivation might influence the nitrification capacity ...
