Soil enzymes are one of the vital key mediators involved in
nutrient recycling and the decomposition of organic matter and
thereby in maintaining soil quality and fertility. This Soil
Biology volume covers the various facets of soil enzymes, such as
their functions, biochemical and microbiological properties and the
factors affecting their activities. Enzymes in the rhizosphere, in
forest soils, and in volcanic ash-derived soils are described. Soil
enzymes covered include phosphohydrolases, lignocellulose-degrading
enzymes, phenol oxidases, fungal oxidoreductases, keratinases,
pectinases, xylanases, lipases and pectinases. Several chapters
treat the soil enzymatic activities in the bioremediation of soils
contaminated with pesticides and pollutants such as oil,
chlorinated compounds, synthetic dyes and aromatic hydrocarbons.
The role of soil enzymes as bioindicators is a further important
topic addressed.
