September 30, 2005 ICDC7 Boulder, ColoradoOverview Introduction Experimental design and methods Soil Microbial Biomass measured by SIR and dsDNA Kinetic characteristics of substrate- induced growth response on glucose Discussion and conclusions
3
September 30, 2005 ICDC7 Boulder, Colorado Motivation: why it is necessary to study ? Soil microbial biomass and activity are key factors controlling C-turnover in soil and respectively acceleration/mitigation of the resultant CO 2 flux from soil to atmosphere in response to proposed increase of C input to soil in elevated CO 2 world Contradictory effect of elevated CO 2 on soil microbial biomass: some studies show positive response and some show no response or even negative
4
September 30, 2005 ICDC7 Boulder, Colorado What could help: Accounting for other important factors: soil N level, type of growing plant, soil moisture content, dynamic nature of observed effects, spatial distinction between bare soil and rhizosphere More careful consideration of functional properties and structure of soil microbial community

September 30, 2005 ICDC7 Boulder, Colorado Measured characteristics: Soil microbial biomass – SIR method (Anderson, Domsch, 1978) Soil dsDNA – direct extraction and measurement of fluorescence after dyeing with Picogreen (Marstorp, Witter, 1999; Blagodatskaya et al., 2004) Kinetic parameters of substrate- induced growth response of soil microorganisms, total and active microbial biomass by SIGR method – fitting the data on respiration rates measured after soil amendment with glucose + NPK and/or yeast extracts (Panikov et al., 1991; Blagodatsky et al., 2000)
10
September 30, 2005 ICDC7 Boulder, Colorado Basic principle of SIGR method ( Panikov et al., 1991) CO 2 evolution rate after substrate amendment ( ): v(t) = A + B * exp( m *t), where v(t) = A + B * exp( m *t), where A – initial rate of uncoupled (non-growth) respiration B – initial rate of coupled (growth) respiration m – Maximal specific growth rate t - time
11
September 30, 2005 ICDC7 Boulder, Colorado Calculation of active and total microbial biomass based on SIGR Active microbial biomass: X’ = B / m Total microbial biomass: X = X’ * r 0, where r 0 – activity status calculated from the ratio between A and B
