The potential of soil microbial biomass measurements as indicators of soil bioactivity and interferences in this environment can be verified by the amount of published papers on the subject. Nevertheless, a comparison among data from different authors, regions, and soils is only possible when the methodology employed in the determinations is the same. Several papers, however, propose different methodologies and calculations. This study evaluated the results of microbial carbon determination by different extraction and digestion methodologies in two distinct soils. […]
