Transect of 100 m through a field showing different land use management: unused meadow (m), allotment garden, and pasture. Bacterial spore content is expressed as equivalents of B. subtilis. Data represent mean values of triplicates. Carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen content (in % of dry soil) was , , and , respectively.
