| Abstract | The assumption that carbon and soil water content are major determinants of microbial community structure and function is rarely questioned because of substantial evidence of the impacts of these variables on specific populations and functions. The significance of carbon and water for metabolic diversity at the microbial community level was tested on the field scale in agricultural plots varying in carbon inputs and in whether they were flooded. Surface soils in which rice straw was incorporated or burned and which were flooded or unflooded were sampled at monthly intervals three times during the flooded winter period (January to March) and again 1 month postdraining. Biomass carbon and nitrogen were not affected by treatments, active bacterial counts showed slight increases, and respiration rates were increased by carbon inputs and flooding. Biolog microplates were inoculated with soil extracts to quantify the metabolic diversity of the soil microbial community. Canonical correspondence analysis and the Monte Carlo permutation testing showed that differences in substrate utilization patterns were significantly related (P < 0.001) to carbon and flooding treatments. Biolog substrates whose metabolism was altered by the treatments were consistent across dates and tended to be positively related (utilization enhancement) to carbon inputs and negatively related to winter flooding. The importance of carbon as an environmental variable increased over time after straw treatment, whereas the importance of water became evident after flooding and decreased after drainage. The effect of long-term rice straw incorporation on substrate utilization patterns at another field site was consistent with these results despite the dissimilarities of the two soils. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
