abstract = {Recent findings on soil organic matter (SOM) revealed that
soil microorganisms are not only crucial for
SOMformationthrough plant litter degradation but soil
microbial biomass (SMB) may also directly contribute to
SOMand its composition. However, the role and interactions
of litter quality, microbial turnover and composition ofSMB
and SOM remain unclear. Hence, soil profiles (organic forest
floor and mineral soil layers) at a recultivatedand
afforested post-mining site were investigated for the
influence of litter quality from different tree
species(Fagus sylvatica, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus nigra)
and soil depth – representing different degrees of
organicmatter (OM) turnover – on the molecular composition
of chloroform fumigation extracted SMB-derived compoundsin
comparison with easily extractable (non-fumigated)
SOM-derived compounds. The SMB extractswere analyzed for
microbial biomass carbon (MBC), nitrogen(MBN) and phosphorus
(MBP). Themolecular compositionof SMB and SOMcompoundswere
determined by electrospray ionization Fourier transformation
ion cyclotronresonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FT-ICR-MS)
complemented by the determination of ninemonosaccharides
representing microbial or plant origin.Van Krevelen diagrams
obtained from the ESI-FT-ICR mass spectra revealed the
substantial contribution ofmicrobial-derived compounds to
extractable SOMthat further increasedwith soil depth.
Analysis of the easily extractablemonosaccharidesimplied
$that>99\%were$ of microbial origin. Microbial sugars aswell
asMBC,MBNandMBP explained best depth-related variations of
extractable SMB compounds indicating that supply and
availabilityof C-rich OM drive these parameters.
Furthermore, the contribution of microbial sugar C to MBC
increasedwith depth, suggesting that recycling of
carbohydrates is an adaptation strategy of microorganisms in
C-limited environments. The supply of tree species-specific
substratesresulted in different chemical composition of SMB
with largest differences between deciduous and coniferous
stands and vice versa, microorganisms contributed to SOM
resulting in large similarity in the composition of SOM and
SMB.},
