Abstract
⺠A long period of severe drought can affect the growth and activity of the soil microbial population. ⺠The physiology and structure of the soil microbial communities are affected by long drought periods. ⺠Organic amendments might influence on soil resistance to this severe drought. âºÂ A 6-months drought seems to be insufficient to destroy the native soil microbial biomass. ⺠The new microbial biomass provided by organic amendments is more sensitive to water stress.
