This study aims to characterize soil microbial functions in vineyard systems through enzymatic and respiration profiling.
Examined 20 vineyard sites in Slovenia's Primorska and Podravje regions.
Utilized extracellular enzymatic activity and multiple substrate-induced respiration assays to quantify microbial activity.
Performed multivariate analyses including PCA and t-SNE to analyze samples and identify patterns.
Primorska vineyards showed higher nitrogen- and phosphorus-acquiring enzyme activity than Podravje (p<0.05).
Higher respiration rates were observed in organically managed soils compared to conventionally managed vineyards (p<0.01).
Soil pH, clay content, and total organic nitrogen significantly drove microbial functions across samples.
