• Temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition—what do we know? (2009, background): “Enzymes are considered to be one rate-limiting step in decomposition (Sinsabaugh 1994).”
• Breaking New Ground: Soil Communities and Exotic Plant Invasion (2005, background): “Many soil microorganisms produce extracellular enzymes that can degrade complex substrates in the soil and alter the availability of nutrients (Sinsabaugh 1994).”
• Elevated enzyme activities in soils under the invasive nitrogen-fixing tree Falcataria moluccana. (2006, background): “Because of its abundant, N-rich litter inputs and effects on nutrient cycling, invasion by Falcataria is likely to affect soil microbiological and biochemical processes (Sinsabaugh et al., 1991; Ratledge, 1994; Sinsabaugh, 1994).”
• Bacterial Extracellular Enzymatic Activity in Globally Changing Aquatic Ecosystems (2010, background): “, glycosidases, peptidases, esterases), that is, enzymes that cleave C-O and C-N bonds that link monomers [13].”
• Evolutionary-Economic Principles as Regulators of Soil Enzyme Production and Ecosystem Function (2010, background): “Produced by microorganisms and plant roots, these enzymes serve a dual function of degrading complex organic material into simpler forms and acquiring resources for the enzyme producer (Burns 1982; Sinsabaugh 1994).”
• Drought decreases soil enzyme activity in a Mediterranean Quercus ilex L. forest (2005, background): “Those microbially secreted enzymes constitute an important part of the soil matrix as extra-cellular enzymes, also called abiontic enzymes ( Sinsabaugh, 1994 ).”
• Vector analysis of ecoenzyme activities reveal constraints on coupled C, N and P dynamics (2016, background): “These four enzymes are assumed to be proxy indicators of overall C, N, and P acquisition largely because the activities of other related enzymes are typically lower than- and correlate with them (Sinsabaugh, 1994).”
• Searching for unifying principles in soil ecology (2009, background): “For example, there is a shared set of extracellular enzymes that carry out some of the more important, rate-limiting steps in organic matter decomposition, regardless of the soil type or decomposer community in question (Sinsabaugh, 1994; Moorhead and Sinsabaugh, 2000).”
• Phosphatases relieve carbon limitation of microbial activity in Baltic Sea sediments along a redox‐gradient (2011, methodology): “With the use of the fluorescent label ELF, cells can be stained that contain phosphatases as ectoenzymes—for example in their periplasma (Sinsabaugh 1994).”
• Low levels of nitrogen addition stimulate decomposition by boreal forest fungi (2009, background): “First, N addition should increase CO2 mineralization by saprotrophic fungi, since decomposition of most plant and soil substrates requires the production of N-rich extracellular enzymes (Sinsabaugh, 1994).”
