Soil enzymes

Soil enzymes are biological catalysts produced by microorganisms, plants, and animals in the soil. They help break down organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, into simpler substances that are essential for nutrient cycling. This process improves soil fertility and promotes healthy plant growth. Enzymes also play a role in decomposing pollutants and enhancing soil structure. The activity of these enzymes can be influenced by factors like temperature, moisture, and pH levels, which in turn affects the overall health of the ecosystem and agricultural productivity.
