The impact of biochar on the activities of soil nutrients acquisition enzymes is potentially controlled by the pyrolysis temperature: A meta-analysis

Geoderma, 2022
Understanding the responses of soil enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of organic matter is critical for understanding the mechanisms of biochar effects in agricultural soils.

Bacteria and Soil Enzymes Supporting the Valorization of Forested Soils. [PDF]

Materials (Basel), 2022
To decompose forest biomass, microorganisms use specific enzymes from the class of oxidoreductases and hydrolases, which are produced by bacteria and soil fungi. In post-agricultural forest soils, bacteria adapt more easily to changing ecological conditions than fungi.

Evaluation of the Impact of Flutriafol on Soil Culturable Microorganisms and on Soil Enzymes Activity

Agriculture
Fungicides play a role in managing plant diseases but raise concerns about environmental impact, emphasizing the need to understand and minimize their effects on non-target ecosystems. Flutriafol is a fungicide used to combat fungal diseases in crops. It

Contribution of enzymes to soil quality and the evolution of research in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2021
Extracellular soil enzymes are fundamental for the functioning of ecosystems. Several processes in the soil depend on the activity of these enzymes, including plant decomposition, soil organic matter formation/mineralization, and nutrient cycling ...

Kinetic Properties of Microbial Exoenzymes Vary With Soil Depth but Have Similar Temperature Sensitivities Through the Soil Profile

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Current knowledge of the mechanisms driving soil organic matter (SOM) turnover and responses to warming is mainly limited to surface soils, although over 50% of global soil carbon is contained in subsoils.

Persistence of microbial extracellular enzymes in soils under different temperatures and water availabilities

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Microbial extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) is critical for the decomposition of organic matter in soils. Generally, EEA represents the limiting step governing soil organic matter mineralization.
