The biological activities of β-glucosidase, phosphatase and urease as soil quality indicators: a review (2017, background): “Decomposition rates are therefore linked to the enzymes that act directly on the main structural parts of plant material and can supply useful information on definite features of the microbial community and succession (Fioretto et al., 2000).”
Ecology of ligninolytic fungi associated with leaf litter decomposition (2007, background): “The activities of cellulases and glycosidases have also been found to be subject to pronounced seasonal controls (Fioretto et al. 2000, 2001; Criquet et al. 2002).”
Drought decreases soil enzyme activity in a Mediterranean Quercus ilex L. forest (2005, background): “In contrast, when the winter is warm and the climate dry, the enzyme activity is ususally higher in autumn–winter period, intermediate in spring and lowest in summer (Fioretto et al., 2000, 2001), showing once more that climatic conditions determine the phenology of soil enzyme activities.”
Phenol oxidase, peroxidase and organic matter dynamics of soil (2010, methodology): “Fioretto et al. (2000) and Nardo et al. (2004) used o-toluidine with H2O2 to assay peroxidase associated with decomposing leaf litter, yielding values similar to those reported for litter using DOPA.”
Fungal laccases - occurrence and properties. (2006, background): “Laccase activity was found to increase during leaf litter degradation in Mediterranean broadleaved litter (Fioretto et al., 2000) and the pattern of detected isoenzymes varied during the succession (Di Nardo et al.”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “Generally, increased phenol oxidase (laccase) activity was observed during later stages of decomposition characterized by an enrichment of recalcitrant compounds in the SOM and an increased fungal biomass (Di Nardo et al. 2004; Fioretto et al. 2000; Sinsabaugh et al. 2002b).”
