Abstract:Soils are heterogeneous and microbial spatial distribution can clearly indicate the spatial characteristics of the soil carbon and nitrogen cycle. However, it is not clear how long-term fertilization affects the spatial distribution of microbial biomass in fluvo-aquic soil. We collected fluvo-aquic soil samples (topsoil 0-7.5 cm and sub-topsoil 7.5-20 cm) using a spatially-explicit design within three 40.5 m 2 plots in each of four fertilization treatments. Fertilization treatments were: cropping without ferti… Show more
