Microbial extracellular polysaccharide production and aggregate stability controlled by Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) root biomass and soil water potential (2019, background): “The role of pH is likely a by-product of our coated urea N amendment, which likely provided ammonia for nitrifying bacteria to oxidize, releasing protons and acidifying the soil in the process (Robertson and Groffman, 2015; Zhu et al., 2016).”
Relationship between Plant Roots, Rhizosphere Microorganisms, and Nitrogen and Its Special Focus on Rice (2021, background): “have found that long-term application of chemical and organic fertilizers in both dry and paddy soils can not only increase soil urease and catalase activity but also increase the number of bacteria and actinomycetes [47,96].”
