Impact/Purpose:

To link microbial enzyme activities to regional-scale anthropogenic stressors

Description:

This study, the first to link microbial enzyme activities to regional-scale anthropogenic stressors, suggests that microbial enzyme regulation of carbon and nutrient dynamics may be sensitive indicators of nutrient dynamics in aquatic ecosystems, but further work is needed to elucidate these relationships.
