Increases in nitrogen (N) availability reduce decay rates of highly lignified plant litter. Although microbial responses to N addition are well documented, the chemical mechanisms that may give rise ...

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition increases forest carbon sequestration across broad parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Slower organic matter decomposition and greater soil carbon accumulation could ...

Catalase enzymes play a pivotal role in cellular defence by decomposing hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thereby mitigating oxidative stress. These oxidoreductases are ubiquitously found ...
