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 …
