  2. Redfield ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfield_ratio

    It may even be the case that the Redfield Ratio is applicable to terrestrial plants, soils, and soil microbial biomass, which would inform about limiting resources in terrestrial ecosystems. [12] In a study from 2007, soil and microbial biomass were found to have a consistent C:N:P ratios of 186:13:1 and 60:7:1, respectively on average at a ...

  3. Carbon-to-nitrogen ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-to-nitrogen_ratio

    In microbial communities like soil, the C:N ratio is a key indicator as it describes a balance between energetic foods (represented by carbon) and material to build protein with (represented by nitrogen). An optimal C:N ratio of around 24:1 provides for higher microbial activity. [16] [17]

  4. Soil microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Microbiology

    Farming can destroy soil's rhiziobiome (microbial ecosystem) by using soil amendments such as fertilizer and pesticide without compensating for their effects. By contrast, healthy soil can increase fertility in multiple ways, including supplying nutrients such as nitrogen and protecting against pests and disease, while reducing the need for ...

  5. Agricultural microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_microbiology

    By dominating the soil's microbial environment, effective microorganisms encourage other beneficial microbes to thrive and outcompete smaller groups of pathogenic or opportunistic microbes. This natural balancing act leads to stronger, more resilient plants and higher crop yields, positioning effective microorganisms as a key player in the ...

  6. Soil biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_biology

    Soil biology is the study of microbial and faunal activity and ecology in soil. Soil life , soil biota , soil fauna , or edaphon is a collective term that encompasses all organisms that spend a significant portion of their life cycle within a soil profile, or at the soil- litter interface.

  7. Harbor Freight Tools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbor_Freight_Tools

    Harbor Freight Tools won a declassification of the class action; that is, the court found that all the individual situations were not similar enough to be judged as a single class, and that their claims would require an individual-by-individual inquiry, so the case could not be handled on a class basis.

  8. Biological soil crust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_soil_crust

    The darkened surfaces of biological soil crusts decreases soil albedo (a measure of the amount of light reflected off of the surface) compared to nearby soils, which increases the energy absorbed by the soil surface. Soils with well-developed biological soil crusts can be over 12 °C (22 °F) warmer than adjacent surfaces.

  9. Humus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humus

    The primary materials needed for the process of humification are plant detritus and dead animals and microbes, excreta of all soil-dwelling organisms, and also black carbon resulting from past fires. [12] The composition of humus varies with that of primary (plant) materials and secondary microbial and animal products.
