We've taken all these factors into consider-

Spring thaw usually means
a-thriving renewal of activity for
living things.
Not necessarily so for micro-
organisms in the soil.
In fact, two scientists at the
Agriculture Canada Research
Station here have evidence that -•
up to half a ton of microorgan-
isms per acre may be killed by
our. late winter and early spring
weather.
Their surprising discovery
puts a new perspective on soil
microbiology and could have im-
plications for soil testing pro?.
cedures and farm fertilizer
plans.-
Dr. C.A.Campbell arid Dr. V.
0. Biederbeck haVe found that low
fluctuating temperatures in early,.
spring can be lethal to large
numbers of soil microbes, after
they've survived cold winters.
These microbes are the real
makers of plant food," said Dr.
Biederbeck.
"The produqts of their chemi
cal activity form the nutritional
basis for agriculture• and food
production. "
Any drastic change in the mi-
crobes causes asbange in soil
fertility.
• "We're interested in nitrogen "
„content in the soil," said Dr.
• Campbell. "Microorganisms
such as bacteria and fungi re-
lease nitrogen from proteins of
dead plant' and animal matter as
ammonium and .nitrate in the,
soil." •
Until the two scientists made
their discovery, it was assumed
that soil nitrogen content , after
harvest in•the fall would remain
unchanged until the next spring.
Fertility tests taken in the fall
were considered valid for de-
termining spring fertilizer re-
quirements.
Now this appears to be not
quite true. It all has to do with
the death of one-third to three-
quarters of the winter microbial
---population.tromiluctuating tam...„Hewever the scientists intend

the site studied, and, we..!Ve found
most of that is in the 00,1.10 of
8014( This is where teRiPeTature
fluctuations are Most effective.
"If only one third of these
die off, they could easily release
50 pounds of nitrogen per acre
into the soil."
The scientists explainedtheir
reasoning this way:
Their . experiments have
shown that microorganisms sur-
vive constant freezing tempera-
tures of winter in a dormant
state, protected as spores.
With spring thaw, the mic-
robes resume activity. •
However, as the temperature
fluctuates from about 50 degrees
in daytime to around freezing at
night, the microbes crack under
the stress, apparently weakened
in some way by long .overwinter-
ing.
Great masses of them die and
their-own cell proteins are add-
ed to the pool of dead plant and
animal matter.
As the temperature rises
again, surviving microbes mul-
tiply and go to work on the in-
creased protein supply to release
more nitrogen into the soil 3.8
ammonium and nitrate.
"This seems to be a unique
way of giving new crops available
nitrogen in the late ,spring,"
said Dr. Biederbeck.
"It happens•only withfluctua-
ting temperatures, " said Dr.
Campbell, "and far more so in
the spring than fall."
"It seems the winter freeze
before spring weakens the mic-
robes, whereas in the fall they
are not put under similar stress
and don't die off as much with
changing temperatures."
This summer they will com-
plete a two-year field study to
support their laboratory find. ,
"This is very exciting for
basic research and enhances ,our
knowledge of soil microbiology,"
said Dr. Biederbeck.

"Microbiologists 'working on
the cariadian Grassland Project
in Saskatchewan found that the
dry weight of microorganisms
in the top 12 inches of soil is
greater than the weighlef all the
grass. growing above," said Dr.
Biederbeck.
"There is more than a ton
of microorganisms per acre at
tion to agridulture , rather than
follow the many avenues of basiS
research opened up.
"We're looking at the very
early stages of this. project,"
said Dr. Biederbeck.
"It's not possible yet to say
how this affects fertilizer ap-
plications, for example,. There
are many things involved which
