• Biological Indices for Soil Quality Evaluation: Perspectives and Limitations (2016, background): “(ii) Lack of standardised methods for measuring soil enzymatic activity has been repeatedly criticised as a constraint to advances in soil enzymology (Gil-Sotres et al., 2005).”
• Rhizosphere soil microbial activity under different vegetation types on the Loess Plateau, China (2011, background): “This interest has focused on defining the concept of soil quality and on searching for reliableways for evaluating it (Gil-Sotres et al., 2005).”
• Changes in soil nutrient and enzyme activities under different vegetations in the Loess Plateau area, Northwest China (2012, neutral): “However, a strong argument has been developed that the natural soils developed under local vegetation of climax community are the soils of best quality, and therefore are those that should display the greatest degree of equilibrium among all properties (Gil-Sotres et al., 2005; Trasar-Cepeda et al.,”
• Effects of pesticides on soil enzymes: a review (2014, background): “There is also evidence that soil enzymes may provide valuable general information on transformation of pesticides in soils (Gianfreda and Bollag 1994; Kalam et al. 2004; Gil-Sotres et al. 2005; Hussain et al. 2009).”
• Organic amendments as sustainable tool to recovery fertility in intensive agricultural systems (2015, background): “They include properties directly related to microbial biomass and activity, and to the decomposition of organic compounds, such as the activity of hydrolytic enzymes (Gil-Sotres et al., 2005).”
