The rhizosphere, the small soil volume that surrounds and is influenced by plant roots, is one of the most dynamic biological interfaces on Earth. Enzymes, produced by both roots and microorganisms, are the main biological drivers of SOM decomposition. In situ soil zymography was applied to test hypotheses that 1) the spatial pattern of rhizosphere activity is enzyme-specific and 2) the distribution of enzyme activity along the roots is dependent on root system and plant species. Lentil (Lens culinaris) and maize (Zea mays L.), two species with contrasting root physiology, were chosen to test their effects on spatial distribution of activities of p-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, leucine-aminopeptidase and phosphatase. The extent of the rhizosphere for each enzyme and plant species was estimated as a function of distance from the root. For the first time, we demonstrated plant-specific patterns of exoenzyme distribution: these were uniform along the lentil roots, whereas in the rhizosphere of maize, the enzyme activities were higher at the apical or proximal root parts. We conclude that the shape and extent of the rhizosphere for enzyme activities is plant species specific and varies due to different rhizosphere processes (e.g. root exudation) and functions (e.g. nutrient mobilization abilities). The extension of enzyme activity into the rhizosphere soil was minimal (1 mm) for enzymes responsible for the C cycle and maximal (3.5 mm) for enzymes of the phosphorus cycle. This should be considered in assessments and modeling of rhizosphere extension and the corresponding effects on soil properties and functions. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
