A compreensão da distribuição do carbono da biomassa microbiana (CBM) metabolicamente ativa nos solos vitícolas é fundamental para determinar o balanço de carbono em viticultura sustentável e para integrar estas determinações em análises de rotina que permitam avaliar o impacto de práticas de gestão sustentável do solo. O carbono da biomassa microbiana foi determinado em três datas correspondentes aos estados f...
