文摘
- •
Microbial carbon use efficiency was determined by a substrate-independent method.
- •
Microbial carbon use efficiency hardly changed with soil depth in forest soils.
- •
Turnover time of the microbial biomass increased with soil depth.
- •
Microbial carbon uptake rates decreased with soil depth.
- •
Both microbial carbon use efficiency and biomass turnover affect carbon cycling.
