Summary: 1. Determine the effects of selected organic mulches, soil amendments and cover crops on microbial biomass and populations of microfauna that are indicative of microbial turnover and nutrient mineralization. 2. Correlate biological indicators of N and P availability with measured N and P availability, tree growth, and nutrient uptake. 3. Determine the effects of selected organic mulches, soil amendments and cover crops on colonization of apple roots by the root-
