studied how soil management affects bacterial production of B-glucosidase, an important enzyme that that is critical for metabolism (breakdown) of plant material in the soil, which can affect soil quality - greater breakdown of plant materials (via greater activity of B-glucosidase) generally leads to better soil quality.
