Soil micro-organisms take their quota of soil nutrients first and crops survive on the remaining soluble nutrients. WebResearch on the changes of soil carbon (C)- and nitrogen (N)-cycling enzyme activities within aggregate fractions is essential for improving our understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics in agricultural ecosystems. enzymes that enable these microorganisms to digest tough plant surface. [12], Protozoa are eukaryotic organisms that were some of the first microorganisms to reproduce sexually, a significant evolutionary step from duplication of spores, like those that many other soil microorganisms depend on. the editor(s) disclaim responsibility for any injury to people or property resulting from any ideas, Then, these soil specimens were prepared to measure the pH, OC, total porosity (Pt), bulk density (BD), available phosphorus (AP), TN, NO, In this study, sieves of various sizes (2, 1, and 0.25 mm) were used to separate the soil specimens (250 g) successively via the method of wet sieving [, Soil BD and Pt were obtained through the cutting ring (V = 100 cm, The mean weight diameter (MWD, mm) and geometric mean diameter (GMD, mm) are the key indicators to evaluate the stability of soil aggregates, and the formulae of the, Stand type and aggregate size were two major variables in the present study. beneficial, and probably most recognizable macro fauna in soil is the Liao, R.K.; Han, Y.G.
