Fig 1. Air-Drying and Rewetting: A Safer Alternative to Chloroform in Soil Microbial Biomass Estimation

Caption

In Compares a traditional (top) and a new innovative method (bottom) for estimating microbial biomass carbon (MBC) in soils. The new approach uses air-drying and rewetting instead of toxic chemicals and shows strong results—making it a safer, low-cost, and effective alternative.
