Article Synopsis
- Farmers in arid regions with high lime and low organic matter face low crop yields and high input costs, prompting the search for solutions.
- This study investigates the effect of different Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculations on soil nutrient cycling (C, N, P) during the growth of vetch in calcareous soils.
- Results show that AMF inoculations can significantly improve soil properties and microbial activity, with specific combinations of fungi leading to the highest nutrient content and enzyme activity.
Enzyme activities and heavy metal interactions in calcareous soils under different land uses.
Int J Phytoremediation
December 2023
This study was carried out to examine the interaction of enzyme activities, microbial biomass carbon, and CO respiration with heavy metals under different land uses in terms of quality and sustainability of the soil. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between dehydrogenase enzyme activity and Mn, Pb, Cd, and Co, while it was negative between Cr. There was a positive correlation between catalase enzyme activity and Mn and Pb and between urease and Co.
