Response of soil extracellular enzyme activity to experimental precipitation in a shrub-encroached grassland in Inner Mongolia
Shrub encroachment has caused a vegetation shift in arid and semiarid grassland ecosystems around the world, leading to marked changes in ecosystem structures and functions. Soil extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) is an informative indicator of microbial decomposition and plays an important role in...
