Soil microorganisms can do both, mineralize and synthesize organic and condensed
phosphate (P) species. Whereas P mineralization has been extensively studied, few studies …

Phosphorus (P) is used to enhance agricultural productivity. Organic acids increase the
release of inorganic phosphorus (Pi) into soil solutions and thereby improve phosphorus …

The extent to which soil enzyme activity in assessing soil nutrient availability is useful has
been controversial. In this review, we discuss the utility of ecoenzymatic stoichiometry (ie the …

In the wake of climate change, extreme events such as heatwaves are considered to be key
players in the terrestrial biosphere. In the past decades, the frequency and severity of …

In this report, we expand upon the enzymology and ecology of soil catalases through
development and application of a simple kinetic model and field-amenable assay based …

MgO nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in bactericides, fuel cells and electronic materials
and are frequently detected in aquatic environments. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation …

Factorial designs have been increasingly used in scientific investigations and technological
development. The designs, through the use of matrices with all the treatment combinations …

To evaluate phosphorus (P) availability and the role of microorganisms in P dynamics in the
barley rhizosphere, we constructed a rhizobox using two arable Andosols under different …

Subsurface carbon stocks are a prime target for efforts to increase soil carbon storage for
climate change mitigation and improving soil health. However, subsurface carbon (C) …

A considerable part of soil phosphorus is bound to metal cations or metal oxides, and cannot
be used in these forms by soil microbes and plants. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) …
