Assessing turnover of microbial biomass phosphorus: Combination of an isotopic dilution method with a mass balance model

Microbial biomass phosphorus (P) can play an important role in P cycling and availability to plants by acting as a source (remineralization) or sink (immobilization) of phosphate ions (iP). To assess the role of the microbial P pools, both the dynamics (i.e. the turnover) and the size of the microbi...
