Extracellular Enzymes in Environments: Responses to Collaborative Remediation of Contaminated Soil and Groundwater provides an overview of the functions, activities, and analysis methods of enzymes in soil and water environments. In addition, the response of enzymes to environmental changes (e.g., contamination, remediation, climate change, fertilization) is also summarized based on experimental results. Spatial and temporal distribution of enzyme activities is assessed using in-situ zymography. Furthermore, variation of enzyme activities in hotspots (i.e., rhizosphere, detritusphere) and controlling factors are also summarized.

1. Enzymes and their functions in soil and groundwater
2. Global climate change and enzyme activities
3. Response of enzyme activities to manure applications
4. Response of enzyme activities to metal/nanometal oxide
5. Effect of biomass-based materials on enzyme activities in heavy
metal-contaminated environment
6. Enzyme activities in the rhizosphere of soil and groundwater
