Stand mixing effect on enzyme activity and other soil properties
Soil Science Annual, 2016 In this research study, enzyme activity was used to assess differences occurring in soils as a result of the different tree species influence. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), sessile oak (Quercus petraea ...

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Urban Soil Enzyme Activity Restoration with Sandwich Compost
Chemistry Proceedings, 2022 Soil enzyme activity is a good indicator of soil quality. Urban soil is known to be of poor quality for plant growth. Meanwhile, food waste is a significant issue around the world.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Soil enzyme activities play a pivotal role in ecosystem processes, such as organic carbon decomposition or nitrogen and phosphorus mineralization. Thus, enzyme activities measurements can provide insights into the rates of ecosystem-level processes in ...

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.

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

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

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.

Impact of Trametes versicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium on differential breakdown of pesticide mixtures in soil microcosms at two water potentials and associated respiration and enzyme activity. [PDF]
, 2008 This study has examined the effect of inoculation of soil microcosms with Trametes versicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium on wood chips on differential degradation of pesticides (simazine, trifluralin and dieldrin, 10 mg kg−1 soil) at two water ...

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.
