- Abstract:

Microbial mineralization and immobilization of nutrients strongly influence soil fertility. Three vegetation types (cypress site, citrus tree site and vegetable site) were chosen to determine characteristics of Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon (MBC), Nitrogen(MBN) and Phosphorus (MBP) and their relationship in Dianjun, Yichang, Hubei. The results showed that the contents of soil microbial biomass C(MBC) and N(MBN) of cypress site were significantly higher than those of vegetable site and citrus tree site which were not significant different, microbial biomass P(MBP) followed the order:vegetable site > cypress site > citrus tree site. Soil organic carbon and total nitrogen showed a significant positive relationship with MBC, N (p < 0.01). Soil total P had a significant positive relationship with MBP (p<0.01). This indicated that soil microbial biomass was a sensitive indicator of soil fertility. Although soil MBC/MBN had no significant difference among three vegetation covers, MBC/MBP and MBN/MBP followed as the order:citrus tree site > cypress site > vegetable site. MBP showed a significant positive relationship with soil MBC/MBP and MBN/MBP whereas MBC, N had no significant relationship with MBC/MBN, MBN/MBP and MBC/MBP, indicating that the changes in MBC/MBP and MBN/MBP were mainly affected by soil MBP.
