Microbial biomass-C and basal respiration of fine earth and highly altered rock fragments of two forest soils

Highly altered rock fragments (dimension limits between 2 and 10 mm) from two sandstone-derived soils, Cavalla and Buca, of the Vallombrosa Forest, Italy, are porous and manifest chemical properties similar to those of fine earth. In addition, they display similar or higher pH and exchangeable catio...
