SEASONAL VARIATION IN THE BIOMASS OF SOIL DECOMPOSER MICROBES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE SOIL HABITAT IN THE LEYMUS CHINENSIS GRASSLANDS IN NORTHEAST CHINA
his paper deals with the patterns of seasonal variation in the biomass of soil decompos-er microbes in the Leymus chinensis grasslands in northeast China. The data were collected byfield study and then used on a MV/6000 computer to construct contour equations which weresubject to F tests,giving better results with F_(0 .25)=2.68 and F_0=193.99. On this basis,theprediction and forecast on the biomass of soil decomposer microbes or even on the degree oforganic matter composed could be made by giving a cert...
