Abstract:Phospholipid ester-linked fatty acids (PLFA) were used to investigate the microbial ecology and its association with carbon accumulation in one soil profile from the Dinghushan Biosphere Preserve in south China, in order to probe the mechanisms that control the carbon accumulation at the depth of 0 -20 cm in the Dinghushan forest soil profile. The data show that sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) occur in the top 10 cm, and methanotrophic bacteria and fungi are not present below 10 cm, and the gramnegative bacter… Show more
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.
