By focusing on controls on in-situ enzyme activity, we hope to advance our understanding of the ecology of soil extracellular enzymes.

Soil extracellular enzyme activities in the surface (0-5 cm) and subsurface (5-20 cm) layers of alpine meadow (A-F) and swamp meadow (G-L) under different warming treatments.CK: control treatment ...

"Extracellular enzymes are more resistant due to the organo-mineral complex that stabilizes them in the soil environment and that intracellular enzymes lack. Enzymes that participate in nitrogen ...

Lignin, a chief component of cell walls in plants, is naturally degraded in the soil. Identifying new ... through the production of extracellular enzymes, which aid in lignin degradation.

A microscopic enzyme could be the key to helping nitrogen fertilizers stick better to the soil and prevent runoff that causes ...

Previous research has explored the effects of a foliar endophytic fungus on host microsite distribution and soil extracellular enzyme activity along elevational gradients. Postdoc/ Plant Ecologist ...
