Abstract:The stoichiometry of efficient soil microbial carbon use is a sensitive index for measuring changes in soil quality and plays a crucial role in research on ecological stoichiometry in the soil nutrient cycle. To further understand the effect of feldspathic sandstone and sand compound ratios on microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), we simulated the field conditions of the feldspathic sandstone-sand compound layer in the Mu Us sandy land and analyzed the soil C:N:P ratio, microbial biomass, extracellular enzyme… Show more
