Interactions between microbial activities and hierarchical aggregation in soil carbon and nutrient retention.

Interactions between microbial activities and hierarchical aggregation in soil carbon and nutrient retention: analysis of organic fertilization practices for sustainable production of vegetable crops in West-Africa I intend to carry out a 18-week incubation experiment with 220 bulk/aggregate soil samples using a temperature controlled respirometer which automatically records carbondioxide evolution from the samples through changes in electrical conductivity in an alkaline solution.
