Fumigation Extraction

Clearcutting Newfoundland boreal forests significantly reduced organic layer fungal and total microbial biomass in clearcut areas with and without slash cover, compared with forested plots. However, aerobically incubated respiration rates were highest in organic layers from clearcut areas under slash, intermediate under forests, and lowest from clearcut areas without slash.

Ciliate Protozoa

Although ciliate protozoa make up 50 % of the total microbial biomass of the rumen and play an active part in the degradation of feed, some authors have shown that animal performance is sometimes improved if they are eliminated. We have been working on a research project to determine the effect of the presence of certain genera of protozoa on digestion in ruminants.
