Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been recognised as a key carbon and nitrogen (N) pool involved with soil–plant–microbe interactions. Yet few studies have quantified this contribution in agricultural soils. In this study we leached DOM from a sandy loam and sandy clay loam soil under either grassland or arable cropping. Two weeks after DOM removal microbial respiration from soils was not altered. However, a significant (P
