What is Soil Microbial Biomass C and N Protocol about?
This document describes a protocol for determining soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen using the chloroform fumigation-incubation method. Soil samples are collected and pre-incubated, then subsamples are fumigated with chloroform vapor for 24 hours to lyse microbial cells while control samples are not fumigated. Both sets of samples are then incubated for 10 days, and the flush of CO2 and NH4+ is measured to calculate microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen.
