Soil microbiological properties and enzymatic activities of long-term post-fire recovery in dry and semiarid Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis M.) forest stands (2014, background): “…authors have demonstrated that scarce soil moisture generate lower soil respiration rates, microbial biomass carbon values and dehydrogenase, phosphatase and β-glucosidase enzymatic activities (Criquet et al., 2004; Sardans and Peñuelas, 2005; Baldrian et al., 2010; Lucas-Borja et al., 2012).”
Microbial enzymatic responses to drought and to nitrogen addition in a southern California grassland (2013, background): “Soil moisture is generally thought to be positively correlated with EEA, at least until soil becomes anaerobic (Baldrian et al., 2010; Henry, 2012).”
Effects of past and current drought on the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities (2019, background): “, 2011), and in a hardwood forest correlating natural variation in soil moisture with soil microbial biomass (Baldrian et al., 2010).”
