Summary:We welcome the response from Dr. Weil and Dr. Islam regarding the microwave (MW) irradiation method for measuring soil microbial biomass C (MBC). Weil and Islam (2003) presented the evaluation results of Doran on the MW incubation (MWI) method. Although the results estimated with 10 and 20-d incubations following MW were closely correlated and the ratio of "MBC" estimated by the 10- and 20-d incubations were very similar in two different management plots. Wang et al respond to Weil and Islam.
