• Soil enzyme activity: a brief history and biochemistry as a basis for appropriate interpretations and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Unfortunately, in spite of the long history and ongoing debate on this issue, as shown by many chapters dealing with the topic (e.g., Gianfreda and Ruggero 2006; Dick and Burns 2011; Nannipieri et al. 2012), much of the published research using soil enzyme activity methods do not acknowledge this…”
• Enzymes of importance to rhizosphere processes (2015, background): “A strict correlation exists between phosphatases, originating from plant roots, and phosphorus nutrition of plants, particularly in rhizosphere soils of mycorrhiza-colonized plants (Gianfreda and Ruggiero, 2006 and references therein). In natural and mined soil, Kumar et al. (2011) demonstrated that”
• Biological Indices for Soil Quality Evaluation: Perspectives and Limitations (2016, background): “However, soil biological and biochemical properties may respond more rapidly to management activities and perturbations (see, for example, Gianfreda & Ruggiero, 2006; Paz-Ferreiro et al., 2007).”
• Higher rates of nitrogen fertilization decrease soil enzyme activities, microbial functional diversity and nitrification capacity in a Chinese polytunnel greenhouse vegetable land (2010, background): “Higher rate application of urea may either promote the urease activity as enzyme substrate at the beginning, or decrease its activity with subsequent high rates due to soil acidification and salinization, since it was reported that soil enzymes were strongly influenced by soil pH and saline conditio”
• Interactions Between Xenobiotics and Microbial and Enzymatic Soil Activity (2008, background): “Furthermore, the response of each component to a given factor will probably differ, and the final result will be the combination of different, individual changes (Gianfreda and Bollag, 1996; Nannipieri et al., 2002; Gianfreda and Ruggiero, 2006).”
• Optimization of hydrolytic and oxidative enzyme methods for ecosystem studies (2011, background): “However, because most DE assays are high-throughput, we recommend that researchers assay as many enzymes as possible in order to obtain the most complete picture of microbial DE activity within a given sample, especially because the activity levels of a single enzyme can be misleading (Gianfreda and”
• Role of Phosphatase Enzymes in Soil (2011, methodology): “Although the drawbacks of the currently used enzyme assays have been extensively discussed (Skujins 1978; Burns 1978, 1982; Nannipieri 1994; Tabatabai 1994; Nannipieri et al. 2002; Gianfreda and Ruggiero 2006), they are still frequently neglected when soil enzyme activities are interpreted.”
• Mineral vs. Organic Amendments: Microbial Community Structure, Activity and Abundance of Agriculturally Relevant Microbes Are Driven by Long-Term Fertilization Strategies (2016, background): “In addition, positive and negative effects (i.e., both increases and decreases in soil microbial activities) on microbial soil enzyme activities have been reported in soil receiving inorganic fertilizers (Gianfreda and Ruggiero, 2006; Guo et al., 2011; Nannipieri et al., 2012).”
