Soil β-glucosidase (BG), the rate-limiting enzyme in the final step of cellulose hydrolysis, plays a key role in microbial metabolism, carbon (C) cycling and sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems. Biochar application is known to affect soil BG activity; however, most of the biochar studies have focused on the potential activity of BG, and it is not clear how biochar influences the kinetic and thermodynamic...
Application of pyrolysed feedstocks or biochar has the potential to affect soil enzyme activity and function. Nevertheless, our detailed understanding of the mechanisms responsible for biochar-enzyme interaction is limited in arid soils. The main aim of this study was to study how the potential activity of several extra- and intra-cellular enzymes involved in C and N cycling, and microbial metabolism...
Biochar can be used as an organic amendment to improve soil physical and chemical attributes, with a potentially significant influence on soil microbial performance. However, this effect of biochar is poorly understood for arid soils with low organic matter content. The main objective of this study was to quantify the response of microbial attributes to corn biochar in two calcareous soils with different...
