Enzymatic characterization of soil extracts with five different mulch types in a Vaccinium virgatum plantation

Evaluation of enzymatic properties soil extracts with five different mulch types where blueberry plants (Vaccinium virgatum cv. ‘Centra Blue’) have grown. Enzymatic measurements included (1) Dehydrogenase, an indicator of microbial activity; (2) Phosphatase, indicating phosphorus availability; (3) Glucosidase, a carbon cycle indicator; and (4) Arylsulfatase, a sulfur cycle indicator
