Influence of Increasing Soil Copper Concentration on the Susceptibility of Phosphomonoesterase and Urease to Heat Disturbance
Long-term exposure to elevated copper (Cu) concentrations may affect the ability of soil microbes to withstand additional transient disturbances, such as heat. Bulk surface soil samples collected from three so...

Horticultural Use of Copper-Based Fungicides Has Not Increased Copper Concentrations in Sediments in the Mid- and Upper Yarra Valley
The use of Cu-based fungicide can pose a risk to nearby surface water bodies due to the run-off of accumulated Cu from agricultural soils. In 2008, we conducted a reconnaissance survey of the presence and conc...

Effects of copper fungicide residues on the microbial function of vineyard soils
The use of copper-based fungicides leads to an accumulation of copper (Cu) in vineyard soils, potentially causing adverse effects to the microbial function and fertility of the soil. This study used a soil mic...
