Microbial digestive enzymes in soil and litter have been studied for over a half century, yet
the understanding of microbial enzymes as drivers of ecosystem processes remains …

Extracellular enzymes mediate the degradation, transformation and mineralization of soil
organic matter. The activity of cellulases, phosphatases and other hydrolases has received …

Soil aggregates are the key functional units of soil ecosystems which are essential to
biogeochemical cycling and plant growth. However, it remains unclear how fertilization …

The efficiency of persulfate-assisted advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) in degrading
organic pollutants is affected by the electron-donating capability of organic substances …

Peatlands store vast amounts of organic carbon, amounting to approximately 455 Pg.
Carbon builds up in these water-saturated environments owing to the presence of phenolic …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Laccases of fungi attract considerable attention due to their possible involvement in the
transformation of a wide variety of phenolic compounds including the polymeric lignin and …

We critically review recent literature on carbon storage and fluxes within natural and
constructed freshwater wetlands, and specifically address concerns of readers working in …
