Microaggregates in soils
All soils harbor microaggregates, ie, compound soil structures smaller than 250 µm. These
microaggregates are composed of diverse mineral, organic and biotic materials that are …

Long-term fertilisation regimes affect the composition of the alkaline phosphomonoesterase encoding microbial community of a vertisol and its derivative soil fractions
Alkaline phosphomonoesterase (ALP) mainly originates from soil microbial secretion and
plays a crucial role in the turnover of soil phosphorus (P). To examine the response of ALP …
