Background Soil microbial biomass, an important nutrient pool for ecosystem nutrient cycling
is affected by several factors including climate, edaphic, and land-use change. Himalayan …

Reclamation of post mining soils by planting trees is of great research interest due to its
potential to stabilize mine soils and sequester atmospheric carbon (C). However there are …

The relationships between soil eco-enzymatic stoichiometry and substrate stoichiometry
could be used to explain nutrient cycling processes regulated by microbial biomass …

We studied leaf litter fall, decomposition and nutrient release patterns of Shorea robusta and
Tectona grandis by using a litter bag technique to better understand the release pattern of …

The present study deals with the assessment of species composition, biomass, carbon stock
and carbon sequestration potential of sub-tropical forests of Darjeeling, eastern Himalaya …

In order to explore the effects of bacteria on the decomposition processes and water
environmental conditions, we used litter bag method and compare reed litter decomposition …

The contributions of a silvicultural practice (enrichment planting technique) to ecosystem
restoration, management and biodiversity conservation were assessed. Data were collected …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the vital resources of any natural and managed
terrestrial ecosystem, which helps in studying the carbon cycle of ecosystems, monitoring …

We investigated the residual rate and mass loss rate of litter, as well as the carbon release
dynamics of litter and soil across seasons, to better understand the effects of seasonal …

The change in soil microbial biomass and stoichiometry in different land uses of Northeast
India were assessed by using the fumigation extraction method. The pattern of microbial …
