The influence of chlorothalonil on the activity of soil microorganisms and enzymes [PDF]
Ecotoxicology, 2018 As one of the most widely used pesticides in agriculture, chlorothalonil can pose threat to soil ecosystems. Therefore, the impact of this substance on the development of microbiological and biochemical properties of the soil as well as on the growth of spring wheat was evaluated.

Stoichiometry of soil enzyme activity at global scale [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2008 Abstract Extracellular enzymes are the proximate agents of organic matter decomposition and measures of these activities can be used as indicators of microbial nutrient demand. We conducted a global‐scale meta‐analysis of the seven‐most widely measured soil enzyme activities, using data from 40 ecosystems.

Land, 2022 Elevated runoff export and declines in soil microbial biomass and enzyme activity following forest conversion are known to reduce soil inorganic nitrogen (N) but their relative importance remains poorly understood.

Persistence of Denitrifying Enzyme Activity in Dried Soils [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985 The effects of air drying soil on denitrifying enzyme activity, denitrifier numbers, and rates of N gas loss from soil cores were measured. Only 29 and 16% of the initial denitrifying enzyme activity in fresh, near field capacity samples of Maury and Donerail soils, respectively, were lost after 7 days of air drying.

Agronomy, 2023 Enzyme activity plays an important role in soil biochemical processes and is a key factor driving nutrient cycling. Although a great number of studies examined the effects of nitrogen (N) enrichment and water (W) addition on soil enzyme activity, most of

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2018 Open mining activities result in decreased microbial biomass and negatively impacts soil fertility. Soil microbes play a role in the decomposition of soil organic matter and in nutrient cycles through the process of mineralization by the enzymes they ...

Response of soil extracellular enzyme activity and stoichiometry to short-term warming and phosphorus addition in desert steppe [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Phosphorus (P) is regarded as one of the major limiting factors in grassland ecosystems. Soil available phosphorus deficiency could affect soil extracellular enzyme activity, which is essential for microbial metabolism. Yet it is still unclear

Study on soil enzyme activities effected by fertilizing cultivation
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2001 The soil enzyme activities and organic matter content were assayed in long-term fertilizing soil samples, the results showed as follows: Soil enzyme activity remarkably varied with the fertilizers, especially soil urease. The peroxidase was less and soil

Soil Enzyme Activity Behavior after Urea Nitrogen Application
Plants, 2022 Understanding how fertilizer application (particularly N, the most used chemical fertilizer worldwide) interacts with soil microbes is important for the development of best management practices that target improved microbial activity to enhance ...
