Biochemical properties in managed grassland soils in a temperate humid zone: modifications of soil quality as a consequence of intensive grassland use

Abstract: 26The maintenance of soil quality is critical for ensuring the sustainability of the 27 environment and the biosphere. Although soil biochemical properties are considered 28 good indicators of changes in soil quality, few studies have been made of the changes in 29 biochemical properties brought about by anthropogenic disturbance of grassland 30 ecosystems. In the present study, several biochemical properties were analysed in 31 31 grassland soils subjected to a high level of management, and the values obtaine… Show more

“…Acid phosphomonoesterase, β-glucosidase and arylsulphatase activities were determined following modifications of the original methods, as described by Paz-Ferreiro et al (2009). Briefly, enzyme activities were determined after incubating soils with a substrate containing a p-nitrophenyl moiety and then measuring the amount of p-nitrophenol released during enzymatic hydrolysis, by a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 400 nm.…”

“…Net N mineralization was determined by extracting 10 g soil with 50 mL of 2 M KCl for 30 min before and after incubation for 10 days at 30°C (Paz-Ferreiro et al, 2009). The NH 4 + -N and total inorganic N were determined by steam distillation (Mulvaney, 1996).…”
