County-Scale Spatial Distribution of Soil Enzyme Activities and Enzyme Activity Indices in Agricultural Land: Implications for Soil Quality Assessment
Here the spatial distribution of soil enzymatic properties in agricultural land was evaluated on a county-wide (567 km(2)) scale in Changwu, Shaanxi Province, China. The spatial variations in activities of five hydrolytic enzymes were examined using geostatistical methods. The relationships between soil enzyme activities and other soil properties were evaluated using both an integrated total en...
متن کاملStoichiometry of soil enzyme activity at global scale.
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. The activities of beta-1,4-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, beta-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase and ph...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment on soil enzyme activities of heavy metal contaminated soils with various soil properties.
Soil enzyme activities are greatly influenced by soil properties and could be significant indicators of heavy metal toxicity in soil for bioavailability assessment. Two groups of experiments were conducted to determine the joint effects of heavy metals and soil properties on soil enzyme activities. Results showed that arylsulfatase was the most sensitive soil enzyme and could be used as an indi...
متن کاملOrgano-Mineral–Enzyme Interaction and Soil Enzyme Activity
Both microbially produced enzymes and mineral surfaces can be considered catalysts of chemical transformation in soils and other geological environments such as sediments and subsurface aquifers. While both are important direct agents of organic matter (OM) remineralization and transformation, mineral surfaces can also act as “heterogeneous co-catalysts,” influencing the kinetic properties of b...
متن کاملEffect of organic and mineral fertilizers and land management on soil enzyme activities
Sustainable and rational management of agrophytocenoses depends on various bioindices and methods of application, particularly the development and protection of soil resources (Lai et al., 2002). Among other indices, enzyme activity is proposed as a universal index of soil fertility and contamination (Dilly et al., 2003). To ascertain and to make a comparison of bioactivity variation during the...
