Data of biological investigation showed that the total counts of bacteria, fungi, yeast, actinomycetes, thermophilic bacteria and cellulolytic bacteria range from 22.4x10 6 to 284x10 6 , 10x10 3 to 27.x10 3 , 6x10 2 to 20x10 2 , 9x10 3 to 19x10 3 , 31x10 3 to 48x10 3 , 0.90x10 4 to 1.82x10 4 CFUg -1 dry soil respectively. The nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria range from 38.0x10 4 to 121.0x10 4 and 30.0x10 2 to 65.0x102 MPN g -1 dry soil, respectively. The biological activities of the concerned enzymes were also recorded and interpreted.Statistical evaluation reveals that soil OM, pH, EC e, Ca ++ , Na + , Cl -, SO 4 -and exchangeable Na are correlated well with total counts of most bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. Also, OM is correlated with dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and urease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
