Drought has the most significant impact on arid grassland ecosystems. Managed grazing, including the timing and intensity of defoliation, may interact with drought to differentially affect processes related to soil organic matter decomposition. Extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) provides integrated measure of soil microbial activity which affects...

Intensive use of agro-chemicals over the past few decades has increased land productivity, however, frequent application of agro-chemicals has also resulted in some negative impacts on the environment and soil microbial biodiversity. Use of alternative management such as probiotics is believed to promote soil microbial biodiversity and enzymatic ac...

Bio-fertilizers such as probiotics are considered as promising alternative to promote soil biodiversity and microbial activity and to reverse negative impacts of agro-chemicals on soil quality. However, very few research studies have been conducted to evaluate the significance of probiotics on soil microbial community and biomass. The objective of...

Although use of agro-chemicals over the past few decades has increased land productivity, frequent use of agro-chemicals have resulted in some negative impacts on the environment and soil microbial biodiversity. Therefore, use of alternative management approaches is necessary to promote and maintain soil health. Use of probiotics is a promising alt...
