How do biotic and abiotic factors regulate soil enzyme activities at plot and microplot scales under afforestation?
(PHYSorg.com Biology)

Soil carbon (C)-, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)-acquiring enzymes secreted by microorganisms can catalyze key steps in C, N and P cycling by degrading soil organic matter (SOM) and detritus into low-molecular-mass compounds for microbial assimilation, and are distributed heterogeneously even within ecosystems. However, the relationships between soil enzyme activities (EA) and environments within ecosystems remain unresolved.
