Plant diversity and species composition in relation to soil enzymatic activity in the novel ecosystems of urban–industrial landscapes
The primary producers and processes of matter and energy flow, reflected by the soil
enzyme activity, are the basics of all ecosystem functioning processes. This paper reviews …

Identification of sensitive indicators to assess the interrelationship between soil quality, management practices and human health
Soil quality (SQ) assessment has long been a challenging issue, since soils present high
variability in properties and functions. This paper aims to increase the understanding of SQ …

Effect of land use and management practices on microbial biomass and enzyme activities in subtropical top-and sub-soils
Land-use change, especially from forest to intensive agriculture, is negatively impacting soil
quality and sustainability. Soil biological activities are sensitive indicators of such land-use …

Microbial communities in terrestrial surface soils are not widely limited by carbon
Microbial communities in soils are generally considered to be limited by carbon (C), which
could be a crucial control for basic soil functions and responses of microbial heterotrophic …

Microbial community structure and resource availability drive the catalytic efficiency of soil enzymes under land-use change conditions
A Tischer, E Blagodatskaya, U Hamer - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2015 - Elsevier
The turnover of nutrients bound to organic matter is largely mediated by extracellular
hydrolytic enzymes (EHEs) produced by soil microorganisms. However, little is known about …

Conversion to agroforestry and monoculture plantation is detrimental to the soil carbon and nitrogen cycles and microbial communities of a rainforest
J Wang, Y Zou, D Di Gioia, BK Singh, Q Li - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020 - Elsevier
The conversion of rainforests to plantations leads to about 50% loss in the organic carbon

Vegetation restoration effects on soil carbon and nutrient concentrations and enzymatic activities in post-mining lands are mediated by mine type, climate, and former …
Vegetation restoration is a widely used, effective, and sustainable method to improve soil
quality in post-mining lands. Here we aimed to assess global patterns and driving factors of …
