Soil extracellular enzyme dynamics in a changing climate

► Climate change can have a strong influence on soil EEA, both directly and indirectly. ► In general, soil moisture manipulations in field studies have had a much greater influence on potential EEA than warming treatments. ► Future challenges involve addressing EEA responses to climate change in situ. ► Further insights into mechanisms underlying potential EEA responses (i.e. turnover) are required.
