Nd. Ananyeva et al., METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DETERMINING SUBSTRATE-INDUCED RESPIRATION OF MICROORGANISMS, Eurasian soil science, 26(11), 1994, pp. 113-122
The effect of different methods for determining the substrate-induced
respiration (SIR) on its value has been assessed, and the technique of
its determination for ecological monitoring purposes has been propose
d. The maximum effect on SIR was observed in case of the incubated sam
ple rotation (the relative contribution into the dispersion value equa
ls 55 percent), then the soil/air ratio followed (25 percent) and cond
itions of sample storage and pre-incubation (16 percent).
