Quantifying the changes of soil microbial biomass and activity of enzymes are important to understand the dynamics of active soil C and N pools. The dynamics of soil microbial biomass C and N and the activity of enzymes over entire growth period of soybean-(Glycine max (L) Merr.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) sequence on a Typic Haplustert as influenced by organic manure and inorganic fertilizer N were investigated in a field experiment. The application of farmyard manure at 4 to 16 $Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}\;y^{-1}r^{-1}$ along with fertilizer nitrogen at 50 or 180 $kg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ increased the mean soil microbial biomass from 1.12 to 2.05 fold over unmanured soils under soybean-wheat system. Irrespective of organic and chemical fertilizer N application, the soil microbial biomass was maximum during the first two months at active growing stage of the crops and subsequently declined with crop maturity. The mean annual microbial activity was significantly increased when manure and chemical fertilizer at 8 $Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ and 50/180 N $kg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$, respectively were applied. The C turnover rate decreased by 47 to 72 % when the level of farmyard manure was increased from 4 to 8 and 16 $Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$. There were significant correlations between biomass C, available N, dehydrogenase, phosphatase and yield of the crops.

The impact of slash and burning on microbial biomass C, N and P in soils of semi-evergreen tropical deciduous forest were studied from February 1999 to January 2000. The experimental sites were located near Moreh town in the Chandel district of Manipur state (India) along the Indo-Myanmar border between 23° 49' N-24°28'N latitude and 93°45'E-94°16'E longitude. Microbial biomass C ranged from 319.50 ㎍ g/sup -1/ 905.50㎍ g/sup -1/ in the slash and burnt site and from 209.50 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 708.80 ㎍ g/sup -1/ soil in the forest site. Microbial N ranged from 19.30 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 99.45 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the slash and burnt site and from 16.08㎍ g/sup -1/ to 88.90 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the forest site. Microbial P varied from 10.90 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 32.21 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the slash and burnt site and from 2.50 ㎍ g/sup -1/ to 17.60 ㎍ g/sup -1/ in the forest site in different months throughout the year. Microbial biomass C, N and P were recorded to be higher in the slash and burnt site compared to the forest site The conversion of forest into slash and burnt site for agriculture - the traditional shilling cultivation practiced by tribal people in the north- eastern India leads to addition of large amount of organic matter in the soil thereby exhibiting higher values of microbial biomass C, N and P in the recent slash and burnt site than that of the forest site. Relationship between the soil moisture, soil organic C and microbial biomass C, N and P were found to be correlated significantly in both the sites.

본 연구는 질소 시비에 의해 증가된 토양 질소가 식물의 성장 및 식물체의 화학적 조성에 미치는 영향과 이로 인한 분해에서의 변화를 확인하고자 야외성장실험과 분해실험을 진행하였다. 온실에서 질소 시비구와 비시구 토양에 각각 벼를 재배하였으며 식물이 성숙한 뒤 수확하여 C, N, lignin, cellulose 함량을 측정하였다. 대조구와 질소 처리구 토양에서 재배된 식물의 개체 당 평균 건중량은 각각 0.70 g, 1.32 g로 질소 시비에 의해 1.9배 증가하였다. 식물체의 N 및 C 함량은 질소 시비에 의해 증가하였고 lignin, C/N, lignin/N, cellulose/N은 감소하였다. 이후, 수확된 식물의 지상부는 microcosm 분해실험에 이용되었으며, 분해 식물체에서 건중량의 변화, microbial biomass C와 microbial biomass N, 그리고 dehydrogenase와 urease 활성을 측정하고, 분해과정 중 발생하는 $CO_2$의 양을 정량하였다. 대조구 토양에서 분해시킨 대조구 식물체와 질소 처리구 식물체, 그리고 질소를 처리한 토양에서 분해시킨 질소 처리구 식물체의 잔존량은 각각 초기 건중량의 53.0%, 47.1%, 53.6%를 나타내었다. 질소 시비는 식물체에서 N 함량을 높이고 C/N 및 lignin/N을 낮추어 식물체의 분해를 촉진하였으나, 분해 과정에서의 토양 질소처리는 분해를 억제하였다. 질소 시비에 의해 토양에서 microbial biomass C와 dehydrogenase 활성은 감소하였고, 반면에 microbial biomass N과 urease 활성은 증가하였다. 분해 중 발생한 $CO_2$의 양은 30일 이후부터 질소 시비에 의해 감소하였다. 분해 식물체에서 측정된 microbial biomass C는 질소 처리에 의해 초기에 증가하였으나 이후 저해되는 양상을 나타냈으며 microbial biomass N은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 질소 시비에 의해 분해 식물체에서 dehydrogenase 활성은 저해되었으며 urease는 분해 초기에 가장 높은 활성을 보였으나 분해 후기에 현저한 감소를 나타냈다. 본 실험에서 질소 시비는 식물의 성장을 증가시키고 식물체의 N 함량을 높여 화학적 조성의 변화를 일으키며 분해율을 증가시키나 분해 단계에서 질소의 시비는 미생물의 활성을 억제시켜 분해를 저해하는 결과를 나타내었다.

We assayed the effects of simulated acid rain on the mass loss, $CO_2$ evolution, dehydrogenase activity, and microbial biomass-C of decomposing Sorbus alnifolia leaf litter at the microcosm. The dilute sulfuric acid solution composed the simulated acid rain, and the microcosm decomposition experiment was performed at 23$^{\circ}C$ and 40% humidity. During the early decomposition stage, decomposition rate of S. alnifolia leaf litter, and microbial biomass, $CO_2$ evolution and dehydrogenase activity were inhibited at a lower pH; however, during the late decomposition stage, these characteristics were not affected by pH level. The fungal component of the microbial community was conspicuous at lower pH levels and at the late decomposition stage. Conversely, the bacterial community was most evident during the initial decomposition phase and was especially dominant at higher pH levels. These changes in microbial community structure resulting from changes in microcosm acidity suggest that pH is an important aspect in the maintenance of the decomposition process. Litter decomposition exhibited a positive, linear relationship with both microbial respiration and microbial biomass. Fungal biomass exhibited a significant, positive relationship with $CO_2$ evolution from the decaying litter. Acid rain had a significant effect on microbial biomass and microbial community structure according to acid tolerance of each microbial species. Fungal biomass and decomposition activities were not only more important at a low pH than at a high pH but also fungal activity, such as $CO_2$ evolution, was closely related with litter decomposition rate.

유기물원을 항온 배양했을 때 온도가 토양미생물체량과 효소활성 및 PLFA함량에 미치는 영향을 토양 특성별로 평가하고자 입상과 분상 혼합유기질비료, 돈분퇴비, 음식물퇴비를 화산회토양과 비화산회토양 30g에 2g을 잘 혼합 후 10, 20, $30^{\circ}C$에서 항온배양을 하면서 pH, 토양질소, 유기물 함량, Microbial biomass C와 N, 토양효소활성, 인지질지방산 함량을 분석하였다. 돈분과 음식물퇴비는 토양종류와 온도에 상관없이 토양 pH의 변화가 크지 않았으나 입상유기질비료는 온도가 높을수록 낮아졌으며, 비화산회토양에서 변화폭이 컸다. 미생물체량 C는 화산회토양의 경우 배양 온도가 높고 유기질비료를 처리할 때 높아지는 경향이었지만 토양종류에 상관없이 점차 감소하였다. 미생물체량 N은 비화산회토양에서 유기질비료, 화산회토양에서는 돈분과 음식물퇴비를 처리할 때 높게 나타났다. 인지질 지방산함량은 항온배양 75일후 비화 산회토양이 화산회토양보다 높았고, 270일후 화산회토양에서 높게 나타났으나 점차 낮아지는 경향이었다. Urease활성은 150일에 비화산회토양의 입상유기질비료처리에서 $10^{\circ}C$(75.0)>$20^{\circ}C$(16.3)>$30^{\circ}C$($4.6ug\;NH{_4-}N\;g^{-1}\;2h^{-1}$)순으로 $10^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높게 나타났으며 온도가 높고, 시간이 경과할수록 낮아졌으며 화산회토양의 Urease활성은 $10^{\circ}C$에서 높게 나타났다. ${\beta}-glucosidase$ 활성은 비화산회토양이 화산회토양보다 높았고 시간이 경과할수록 낮아졌다. 토양미생물체량 C와 미생물활성지표간의 상관계수는 비화산회토양에서 PLFA ($r^2=0.91$), 화산회토양에서 ${\beta}-glucosidase$ ($r^2=0.83$)가 높았으며, 미생물활성지표는 토양종류와 온도에 따라 상대적으로 민감도가 다르게 나타났다.

가축분 퇴비가 토양의 생화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자, 농업과학기술원 시험포장에 시용량 ($8Mg\;ha^{-1}$, CM-8구: $29Mg\;ha^{-1}$, CM-29구: $57Mg\;ha^{-1}$, CM-57구)을 달리하여 돈분퇴비를 시비하고 봄배추를 재배하면서 생육시기별로 토양을 채취하여 biomass, 효소활성도의 변화를 조사하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 토양효소 활성은 NPK구의 경우 대조구에 비하여 낮았으나 퇴비구에서는 증가하여 CM-57구에서 protease, Phosphomonoesterase 그리고 dehydrogenase의 활성이 각각 2.3, 1.6 및 2.4배 증가하였다. Protease와 phosphomonoesterase의 경우 재배기간중 모든 처리구에서 생육중기에 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Biomass는 퇴비의 시용랑에 따라 증가하여 biomass C의 함량은 CM-57구에서 $466mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 대조구에 비하여 4.3배, biomass N과 P는 각각 3.4배, 2.8배 증가하였다. 한편 NPK구에서는 biomass C와 N은 증가하였으나 biomass P는 낮았다. 퇴비구에 있어서 biomass N과 P는 배추의 생육중기에 최고치에 달하였으나 biomass C의 함량은 생육초기에 증가하여 수확기까지도 높은 함량을 유지하였다. 평균 biomass C:N:P 비율은 11:2:1이었으며, 토양의 유기 탄소 및 질소함량에 대한 biomass C와 N의 비율은 각각 1.1 및 3.6%이었다. 재배토양의 protease와 dehydrogenase는 biomass C 및 P와 고도로 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다.

Acid deposition is one of the most serious environmental problems in ecosystems. The present study surveyed the effects of simulated acid rain on leaf litter mass loss and microbial community in the decomposing leaf litter of Sorbus anifolia in a microcosm at $23^{\circ}C$ and 40% humidity. Microbial biomass was measured by substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), and the microbial community structures were determined by composition of PLFAs at each interval of decomposition in litter sample and at each pH treatment. The microbial biomass showed peaks at mid-stage of decomposition, decreasing at the late stage. The leaf litter mass loss of S. anifolia decreased with decreasing pH during early and mid-decomposition stages; however the mass loss becomes similar between pH treatments at late-decomposition stage. The acidification remarkably lowers the microbial biomass of bacteria and fungi; however, microbial diversity was unchanged between pH treatments at each stage of litter decomposition. With changes of decomposition stage and pH treatment there were considerable differences in replacement and compensation of microbial species. Fungi/bacteria ratio was considerably changed by pH treatment. The PLFA profile showed significantly larger fungi/bacteria ratio at pH 5 than pH 3 at the early stage of decomposition, and the difference becomes smaller at the later decomposition stage. At low pH, pH 3 and pH 4, the fungi/bacteria ratios were stable according to the litter decomposition stages. Simulated acid rain caused decreases of 10Me17:0, 16:1${\omega}$7c, 18:1${\omega}$7, 15:0, but increase of 24:0. In addition, litter mass loss showed significant positive correlation with microbial biomass measured by SIR and PLFA on the decomposing leaf litter.

BACKGROUND: Tillage systems and fertilization play an important role in crop growth and soil improvement. This study was conducted to determine the effects of tillage and fertilization on the microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase activity of soils in a field under cultivation of soybean. METHODS AND RESULTS: An experimental plot, located in the temperate climate zone, was composed of two main sectors that were no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), and they were subdivided into four plots, respectively, in accordance with types of fertilizers (non fertilizer, chemical fertilizer, hairy vetch, and liquid pig manure). Microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase activity were evaluated from May to July in 2016. The microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase activity of NT soils were significantly higher than those of CT in all fertilizer treatments, and they were further increased in hairy vetch treatment than the other fertilizer treatments in both NT and CT. The dehydrogenase activity was closely related to microbial biomass C. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that application of green manure combined with no-tillage can provide viable management practices for enhancing microbial properties of soil.

Soil condition, total number of bacteria, soil amylase activity and microbial biomass $(CO_2-C)$ were measured at soil of different forest types. And the difference of the allelopathic effect was determined between fresh leaf extract of Quercus acutissima and Pinus rigida to the bacteria isolated from soil of different forest types. 1. Total number of bacteria in Carpinus laxiflora forest soil was 4~7 times larger than that in pinus desiflora forest soil. 2. Soil amylase activity was positively correlated with total number of soil bacteria and soil organic matter content. The amylase activity at F layer was 4~5 times larger than that at H layer, and that at H layer was 2~4 times larger than that at A layer. 3. Seasonal changes of microbial biomass showed a peak in summer, and vertical distribution of microbial biomass decreased with increasing soil depth. The microbial biomass in Pinus densiflora forest soil was larger than that in Quercus serrata forest soil. 4. Fresh leaf extract of Pinus rigida and Quercus acutissima showed an acceleration or inhibition effect on the growth of soil bacteria, and that of !. acutissima inhibited larger number of soil bacterial strains than that of P. rigida. 4.2% and 25% of soil bacterial strains isolated from soil of P. rigida and Q. acutissima forests were inhibited by fresh leaf extract of P. rigida and Q. acutissima, respectively.
