Effects of Spatial Variability and Drainage on Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Coastal Freshwater Forested Wetlands of Eastern North Carolina, USA

Effects of Spatial Variability and Drainage on Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Coastal Freshwater Forested Wetlands of Eastern North Carolina, USA

Drainage of freshwater wetlands is common in coastal regions, although the effects on microbial extracellular enzyme activity (a key mediator of soil organic matter decomposition) in relation to spatial variability (microtopography and soil depth) are poorly understood. Soils were collected from org...
