-Studies demonstrate that accurate measurement is really only conducted through phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) tests, but even those are not necessarily consistent across labs. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00374-025-01911-7
-Higher fungi are associated with longer term carbon storage, sometimes disease and pest suppression as well, whereas high levels of bacteria are commonly associated with nutrient availability. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0038071702000330
-There tends to be a higher fungi to bacteria ratio in forests and undisturbed soils, whereas bacteria often thrive in disturbance.
-" some studies have suggested that fungi are more important to soil fertility in acidic soils, while bacteria are more important to soil fertility in alkaline soils (Sun et al., 2016; Han et al., 2021)" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0929139323002019
