Journal ArticleDOI
Stoichiometry of soil enzyme activity at global scale
Robert L. Sinsabaugh,Christian L. Lauber,Michael N. Weintraub,Bony Ahmed,Steven D. Allison,Chelsea L. Crenshaw,Alexandra R. Contosta,Daniela F. Cusack,Serita D. Frey,Marcy E. Gallo,Tracy B. Gartner,Sarah E. Hobbie,Keri Holland,Bonnie L. Keeler,Jennifer S. Powers,Martina Štursová,Cristina D. Takacs-Vesbach,Mark P. Waldrop,Matthew D. Wallenstein,Donald R. Zak,Lydia H. Zeglin +20 more
TL;DR: A global-scale meta-analysis of the seven-most widely measured soil enzyme activities is conducted, indicating that the enzymatic potential for hydrolyzing the labile components of soil organic matter is tied to substrate availability, soil pH and the stoichiometry of microbial nutrient demand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil enzymes in a changing environment: Current knowledge and future directions
Richard G. Burns,Jared L. DeForest,Juergen Marxsen,Robert L. Sinsabaugh,Mary E. Stromberger,Matthew D. Wallenstein,Michael N. Weintraub,Annamaria Zoppini +7 more
TL;DR: The collective vision of the future of extracellular enzyme research is offered: one that will depend on imaginative thinking as well as technological advances, and be built upon synergies between diverse disciplines.
Journal ArticleDOI
The implications of exoenzyme activity on microbial carbon and nitrogen limitation in soil: a theoretical model
TL;DR: A simple theoretical model is built to explore the behavior of the decomposition–microbial growth system when the fundamental kinetic assumption is changed from first order kinetics to exoenzymes catalyzed decomposition (dC/dt=KC×Enzymes).
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of hydrolytic and oxidative enzyme methods for ecosystem studies
Donovan P. German,Michael N. Weintraub,A. Stuart Grandy,Christian L. Lauber,Zachary L. Rinkes,Steven D. Allison +5 more
TL;DR: Important procedural details of enzyme assays are characterized, and the steps necessary to properly assay potential enzyme activities in environmental samples are defined to help develop a unified understanding of enzymes activities in ecosystem ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical consequences of rapid microbial turnover and seasonal succession in soil
Steven K. Schmidt,Elizabeth K. Costello,Diana R. Nemergut,Diana R. Nemergut,Cory C. Cleveland,Sasha C. Reed,Sasha C. Reed,Michael N. Weintraub,A. F. Meyer,A. M. Martin +9 more
TL;DR: A new understanding of the year-round turnover and succession of microbial communities allows for the first time to propose a temporally explicit N cycle that provides mechanistic hypotheses to explain both the loss and retention of dissolved organic N and inorganic N throughout the year in terrestrial ecosystems.
