Soil Enzymology in the Recycling of Organic Wastes and Environmental Restoration
Soil enzymes play a fundamental role in many soil processes such as the mineralization of organic matter, the synthesis of humic substances, the degradation of xenobiotics or the mechanisms involved in the biocontrol of plant pathogens. Their direct link

Preface
Soil biological and related biochemical parameters, particularly enzymes, play a fundamental role in many soil processes such as the mineralization of organic matter, the synthesis of humic substances, the degradation of xenobiotics or the mechanisms involved in the biocontrol of plant pathogens. Their direct link with soil microorganisms gives them a key role as biomonitors of the evolution of soil quality, in the determination of their resistance to or their resilience against external environmental impacts, or in the monitoring of the application of organic amendments in the recovery of degraded, eroded or polluted soils. As a consequence of the importance of soil biological and biochemical parameters on soil processes, there is an increasing interest in their study, as well as in the application of new biochemical and molecular tech
