Effect of Heavy Metal Contamination on Microbial Population, Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization in Soil Planted to Legumes
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of heavy metal contamination on the microbial population, organic carbon and nitrogen mineralization in the soil planted to legumes. Two heavy metals (Zinc and lead) were used at 150 mg kg -1 and 200 mg kg-1 concentrations respectively. Four legumes (Mucuna, Cowpea, Soyabean and Centrosema) were...
