…the presented data should be combined with CH4/CO2 flux data for making system-related studies.…………………………………………………………………………………..PLFA analyses completed (WP1)apart from specific biomarkers, data of other PLFA is avavailable (saturated, mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids) for calculating total biomasses of eg. Bacteria, fungi, etc.

Labelled litter 13C - 15N Peat column towards microbes Microbial communities : 13C PLFA analysis 13C & 15N in microbial biomass towards peat 15N mineralization 13C & 15N (K2SO4 extract without fumigation) What do we want to know? • Carbon transformation • How much plant C is consumed by the microbial biomass? • How much plant C is used by Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya and when? • How much plant C is „somehow“ stabilised? 2. N transformation • How much plant N is consumed by the microbial biomass? • How much plant N is mineralised? • How much plant N is somehow stabilised?

What needs to be done? • Carbon transformations • LC/IRMS of prepared microbial biomass C (CFE) extracts • Calculation of group-specific microbial plant C utilisation • Mass balance for the „whole“ system 2. Nitrogen transformations • EA-IRMS of prepared microbial biomass N (CFE) extracts • EA-IRMS of mineral N extracts (?) • Calculation of microbial plant N utilisation • Mass balance for the whole system
