Soil microbial biomass, which generally comprises about 2-3% of the total organic carbon in soil. has been rccognized as an important source of nutrients because of its fast turnover (Jenkinson and Ladd, 1981). The C. N, P and S contents of biomass have been measured by fumigation procedures (Jenkinson and Powlson, ,1976); however, knowledge of other mineral nutrients in biomass is scarce (Sparling and Berrow. 1985). Our aim was to determine the quantities of available plant nutrients (N. P. K. Ca. Mg and Na) after the death of microorganisms by CH,CI fumigation.
