The effect of aggregate disruption on the activity of microorganisms in the soil
Abstract
Laboratory tillage of soils causes an increase in the oxygen uptake of soil microorganisms. The effect is closely related to the extent of aggregate disruption caused by the tillage treatment and is attributed largely to exposure of organic matter that was previously inaccessible. In some soils drying and rewetting after tillage causes a further increase in microbial activity, but this is not accounted for by disaggregation. As drying and rewetting commonly follow tillage in the field the resultant higher microbial activity could contribute to the faster mineralization of organic matter in arable land.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
