Phosphatase activity in the drilosphere and its link to phosphorus uptake by grass
Geoderma, 2023 Earthworms can increase the solubility of phosphorus (P) in soil, an effect which to a large extent is controlled by mineralisation of organic P. Phosphatases, a class of hydrolytic enzymes, catalyse this mineralisation process.
