What Does SMBC Stand For?
SMBC stands for Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon
SMBC, or Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon, refers to the fraction of soil organic carbon that is derived from the microbial biomass present in the soil ecosystem. It plays a critical role in soil health and fertility, influencing nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and overall soil functionality. Measuring SMBC helps assess the biological activity and productivity of soils, providing insights into soil management practices and ecosystem responses to environmental changes.
