The effect and relative contributions of C and P inputs on soil microbial biomass P (MBP) accumulation were studied in three long-term soil fertility experiments with various soil and climate characteristics at Qiyang, Yangling, and Wulumuqi. The maximum of soil MBP in all three sites was 47.8 mg P...
