The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Root carbon inputs to the rhizosphere stimulate extracellular enzyme activity and increase nitrogen availability in temperate forest soils (2011, background): “These trends suggest that for most enzymes low soil moisture limits activity by slowing the diffusion of enzymes and substrates (Allison et al. 2010; Brzostek et al. 2012).”
Substrate quality affects kinetics and catalytic efficiency of exo-enzymes in rhizosphere and detritusphere (2016, background): “Available forms of N and P are suggested to suppress the production of N- and Pacquiring enzymes and stimulate the microbial allocation to Cdegrading enzymes (Sinsabaugh andMoorhead, 1994; Allison et al., 2011).”
Stoichiometric responses of soil microflora to nutrient additions for two temperate forest soils (2017, background): “Enzyme production represents one of the several possible microbial foraging strategies, which involve tradeoffs between costs and benefits (Allison et al. 2010).”
Trends in soil microbial communities during secondary succession (2017, background): “As a kinetic cascade, extracellular enzyme activity is as much constrained by soil moisture, temperature, pH, substrate availability, and enzyme concentration (Allison et al., 2010; Sinsabaugh and Follstad Shah, 2012).”
