Determinants of microbial community structure and substrate utilization potential in soils of vegetable cropping systems

Creator:

Schutter, Mary E.

Abstract:

The Oregon Long-Term Soil Quality Project was initiated to identify soil properties that respond rapidly to alternative management practices. Such practices included winter cover cropping, which was implemented at two experimental research stations and several grower fields throughout the Willamette Valley. The goal of this thesis was to identify the...

Litter controls of microbial community composition and function in forest soils

Creator:

Brant, Justin B.

Abstract:

Most carbon (C) transformations in soil are carried out by a diverse and complex soil microbial community. The size and composition of the soil microbial community is determined by poorly understood interactions between the quantity and chemical composition of plant inputs, as well as climate. Given the metabolic diversity of...
