Soil enzyme inhibition by condensed litter tannins may drive ecosystem structure and processes : the case of Kalmia angustifolia

Kalmia angustifolia is an ericaceous shrub that can rapidly spread on recently harvested boreal forest sites, causing a slow-down in soil nutrient cycling and reduced growth of spruce seedlings. It has been hypothesized that tannins released from Kalmia litter suppress soil enzyme activity, and are...
