Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On each sampling date, gas emissions were measured with four closed chambers per site. With each chamber, the measurements were repeated four to six times per day and site, resulting in 15–24 net surface rate measurements. Excessive vegetation was removed before pressing the stainless steel chambers (A = 150 cm2, V = 1800 ml) into the soil [54 (link)]. The chambers had a sharp-edged bottom, which allowed the installation in the organic soils without compacting the soil. Gas samples (12 ml) were taken with syringes from the headspace immediately, 20, 40, and 60 min after closing the chambers via a three-way stopcock, and transferred into pre-evacuated exetainers (5.9 ml, Labco Lt, UK). Gas concentrations were measured on an Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (for CH4) coupled with a methanizer (for CO2) (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). Gas flux rates were calculated by the slope of the regression line of a linear regression of the gas concentration against time [27 (link)].

Microbial Community Analysis via PLFA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The method for phospholipid extraction was adapted from Buyer et al.67 (link). Briefly, 3 g of lyophilized soil were placed in a 30-ml centrifuge tube with a Teflon-lined screw cap. The fatty acids were directly extracted from the soil twice by adding 3.6 ml of citrate buffer (pH 4.0), 4 ml of chloroform, and 8 ml of methanol. The PLFAs were separated from neutral and glycolipid fatty acids by solid-phase-extraction chromatography. After mild alkaline methanolysis, the PLFA samples were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using an Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA) equipped with an autosampler, split-splitless injector, and flame ionization detector. The system was controlled with Agilent ChemiStation and MIDI Sherlock software (Microbial ID, Inc., Newark, USA). An external standard of 19:0 methyl ester was used for quantification.
We selected the following PLFA signatures to serve as indicators of specific microbial groups: iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids for Gram-positive (G+) bacteria68 (link), monounsaturated and cyclopropyl 17:0 and 19:0 fatty acids for Gram-negative (G) bacteria69 (link), and 18:2w6c for fungi70 (link). Total biomass was obtained by summing the concentrations of all fatty acids detected in each soil sample.
