Hh. Liste et S. Kohn, COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATIONS ON THE MICROBIOLOGY OF NATURAL AND DEGRADED LOW MARSHY SOIL, Microbiological research, 149(1), 1994, pp. 85-88
An agricultural degraded and a natural low marshy soil were compared i
n selected physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics. The
degraded marshy soil with lower water content was densely populated w
ith aerob bacteria and was more bioactive as the natural marshy soil.
The degraded marshy soil contains fewer carbon (C(t)) and nitrogen (N(
t)) because the mineralization of organic soil content was higher thro
ugh more active microbes.
