Abstract/Contents:"An investigation was carried out on soils from under perennial ryegrass and white clover swards comparing the effect of grazing and cutting on the soil microflora. The dilution plate count method was used with three different media: soil extract, cellulose and plant protein agars. Over a 3-yr period changes occurred in the microflora of the surface 2.5 cm layer of the soil; numbers of actinomycetes and bacteria generally increased under grazing whereas fungi increased under cutting. An increase in the numbers of propagules of actinomycetes and bacteria as shown by colony counts and in biological activity as revealed by the determination of carbon dioxide and mineral-nitrogen produced during incubation of the soil may have been due to increases in the amount of organic matter in the soil under grazed swards."
