Cell-free extracellular enzymatic activity is linked to seasonal temperature changes: a case study in the Baltic Sea

Extracellular enzymatic activities (EEAs) are a crucial step in the degradation of organic matter. Dissolved (cell-free) extracellular enzymes in seawater can make up a significant contribution of the bulk EEA. However, the factors controlling the proportion of dissolved EEA in the marine environmen...
