Heat effects of microbial life in soil
Drápalová, Karolína ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Krouská, Jitka (advisor)
This research is intended to be an application of calorimetry to the study of thermal manifestations of microbial life in soil. Although this research has slowly but steadily expanded over the past half century, many unanswered questions still remain. Calorimetry is a suitable tool for determining several parameters of soil quality. Therefore, it is a very important indicator for agriculture. Very well-known indicators used in soil research can be measured by various calorimetric methods such as differential compensation calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG), which are temperature scanning methods used to estimate certain properties of soil material. Calorimetry can be used to determine the activity of microbial life in the soil, which is an essential parameter for the proper functioning of the soil, i.e. for its health. Microorganisms will release a certain amount of heat, based on their metabolism, which can be boosted by adding certain nutrients. We can therefore say that the presence of microorganisms in the soil can be detected thanks to calorimetry.
