“…However, the metabolic quotient qCO 2 was not affected by salinity in or study in the short term but showed differences between the two investigated soils, indicating that the microbial communities adjusted their metabolism over a longer period of time. It was higher in soil B with a lower pH as compared to soil A, which is in line with Jones et al (2019), who observed a lower CUE in soils with lower pH (below 5.5). Soil B had a higher qCO 2 and therefore more C was used for maintenance of microbial cells, resulting in a less efficient C use, which in the long run yield a lower CUE and consequently may result in stronger organic matter decomposition.…”

“…The relative increase of saprotrophic fungi as indicated by the ergosterol-to-microbial biomass C ratio was positively related to an increase of the metabolic quotient qCO 2, a simple indicator of the demand of microorganisms to maintain their biomass or a simplified carbon use efficiency (CUE) (Joergensen and Wichern, 2018) Consequently, increased fungal dominance will result in lower C use efficiency as shown earlier (Nannipieri et al, 2003;Iqbal et al, 2016) and may result in organic matter loss in the long run. A higher specific metabolic activity may reflect stronger catabolic activity and production of osmolytes, cell repair or detoxification (Jones et al, 2019) and thus reflects an adaptation of the soil microbial community to abiotic stress, such as salinity (Wichern et al, 2006).…”

“…The thresholds for pH were established based largely on data from UK grasslands in the 1990s (Bhogal et al, 2008), which would represent sites that are in the process of recovery from intense acidification and therefore may not actually be similar to a true natural state. The pH trigger values for supporting metal retention and microbial function are actually contradictory to those suggested for supporting acid grassland and heathland habitats (<5 and >5, respectively), and recent results indicate microbial function may decrease below pH 5.5 rather than 5, exacerbating this difference (Jones, Cooledge, Hoyle, Griffiths, & Murphy, 2019). This shows the difficulties in designating appropriate boundaries when multiple functions and services are involved, especially when the different functions show differing responsiveness to change (Bhogal et al, 2008;Bünemann et al, 2018;Jarvis et al, 2019).…”

“…First, soil pH impacts the substrates and microenvironment for metabolic reactions ( Berg & Mcclaugherty, 2013 ; Jones et al, 2019 ), which change the microbial metabolic activity directly. Second, soil pH changes the abundance and activity of microbes participating in the metabolic reaction ( Berg & Mcclaugherty, 2013 ; Jones et al, 2019 ). The effects of soil pH on metabolic functions are the result of the combined action of various factors.…”
