Estimation of microbial biomass based on water-extractable organic matter from air-dried soils from Japanese forests and pasture

Abstract Water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) obtained from air-dried soil samples can be used to estimate microbial biomass instead of chloroform fumigation extraction (CFE) using fresh, moist soils and toxic solvents. However, the accuracy of such WEOM-based estimates has not been evaluated. We...
