Conservation tillage has a profound impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) and extracellular
enzyme activity (EEA), thereby influencing the global soil nutrient cycle. However, there is …

Grasslands are expected to experience extreme climatic events such as extreme drought
due to rising global temperatures. However, we still lack evidence of how extreme drought …

Soil enzymes play a key role in soil organic matter dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems;
however, the relationship between soil enzyme activity and the chemical composition of soil …

Soil enzymes secreted by microorganisms play a critical role in nutrient cycling, soil structure
