Acid monophosphatase: an indicator of phosphorus mineralization or of microbial activity? A case study from the Brazilian cerrados
Plant production in the Brazilian savannas, also known as the Cerrados, is limited mainly by low P availability. In tropical soils, rich in sesquioxides, P supply of plants depends heavily on the transformation of organic P by phosphatase enzymes into HPO 4 2- and H 2 PO 4-. We examined two Oxisols-...
