Our aim was to assess long-term effects of repeated liming and N and P additions on soil microbial biomass and activity. The experimental sites were four, 40–60 yr old, Norway spruce (Picea abiesL.) stands growing on mineral soil sites. During the 30 yr study period, the cumulative amount of finely-ground limestone totalled 6000 kg ha−1, and fertilizer N and P totalled 530–950 and 70–115 kg ha−1, respectively. The main effects of the additions, expressed on an organic matter basis, were as follows: liming increased, and N addition decreased, both the fumigation-extraction (FE) and substrate-induced-respiration (SIR) derived microbial biomass C, microbial biomass N and its proportion of total soil N, and microbial respiration rate. Nitrogen addition increased slightly the soil ergosterol content, indicating an increase in fungal biomass or a change in fungal population structure. There were no significant differences in microbial C:N ratio and respiration: biomass ratio between the treatments. No clear effects of P addition were observed.
