Summary

Biofuel-induced landscape change will have an enormous impact on terrestrial ecosystems in the near future due to globally escalating energy demands, but investigations into the biological properties of soil under potential biofuel crops have not been well documented. The soil microbiota plays a significant role in ecosystem services and especially their regulation of carbon and nutrient cycles. To improve our knowledge about the structure of soil microbial community and the factors that influence it, we analyzed microbial lipids and various soil physicochemical factors under model biofuel cropping systems of corn, switchgrass and mixed prairie in southern Wisconsin, USA. Principal component analysis of lipid biomarkers from soil microbial [...]
