Abstract
Soil enzymes play a crucial role in agriculture as they are important for several vital biochemical reactions necessary for the life processes of soil microbes along with the maintenance of soil structure, decomposition and formation of organic matter and nutrient mineralization. Thus, soil enzymes are instrumental in the maintenance of soil ecosystem. Several factors that affect soil-plant-microorganism and their interaction in turn determine the productivity and activity of soil enzymes. A better understanding of the role of soil enzymes in maintaining soil health, along with the development of rapid and easier protocols for their measurement, will provide us with the opportunity to design novel integrated soil assessment methods leading to more efficient and eco-friendly soil management programmes. Furthermore, harnessing beneficial soil enzymes through currently available technologies will enable in situ applications of desired soil enzymes for restoration of polluted soils. Present article focuses on occurrence of soil enzymes, methods for determining their activity, current developments in mining these enzymes using metagenomic approach and factors affecting the activity of soil enzymes along with the importance of various soil enzymes.
