Soil amendments were applied to two contrasting soil types and included four representative types of biosolids used on farmland in the UK (liquid, dewatered and thermally dried digested biosolids and lime-treated cake), cattle and pig slurries, and cattle manure. A control treatment with and without grass, and protozoa inhibition treatments (thiram) were also present. Microbial biomass C was measured using the chloroform fumigation-extraction (CFE) technique, where soil microorganisms are degraded with chloroform and the cytoplasm contents transformed into extractable components. Soil physico-chemical properties had a major influence on soil microbial biomass dynamics and, in particular, larger background biomass concentrations were measured in soil containing the most organic matter. Microbial biomass dynamics in amended soil were determined by: (1) the microbiological content and (2) substrate availability of the supplied materials.
