Fu, Q., Abadie, M., Blaud, A., Carswell, A., Misselbrook, T. H., Clark, I. M., & Hirsch, P. R. (2020). Effects of urease and nitrification inhibitors on soil N, nitrifier abundance and activity in a sandy loam soil. Biology and Fertility of Soils, 56(2), 185-194. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00374-019-01411-5

Inhibitors of urease and ammonia monooxygenase can limit the rate of conversion of urea to ammonia and ammonia to nitrate, respectively, potentially improving N fertilizer use efficiency and reducing gaseous losses. Winter wheat grown on a sandy soil... Read More about Effects of urease and nitrification inhibitors on soil N, nitrifier abundance and activity in a sandy loam soil.

The pH optimum of soil exoenzymes adapt to long term changes in soil pH (2019)
Journal Article
Puissant, J., Jones, B., Goodall, T., Mang, D., Blaud, A., Gweon, H. S., …Griffiths, R. (2019). The pH optimum of soil exoenzymes adapt to long term changes in soil pH. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 138, 107601. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2019.107601

Soil exoenzymes released by microorganisms break down organic matter and are crucial in regulating C, N and P cycling. Soil pH is known to influence enzyme activity, and is also a strong driver of microbial community composition; but little is known...
