The Spanish team, lead by Roberto García Ruiz, together with Gustavo Francisco Ruíz has already analysed a couple of soil enzyme activities which are related to the recycling/reuse of organic phosphorus (soil pH phosphatase activity) and sources of labile organic carbon (soil b-glucosidase) in all the STS and non-STS experimental farms of Spain (SP). Analysis were also done in two forest sites nearby some of the STS-non-STS paisr. These activities are linked to work package 3 and are part of the first results obtained in the SUSTAINOLIVE project.

 

These soil enzyme activities, together with other in progress, individually, or in combination by using complex indicators, are indicators of soil functional quality.
