Soil moisture content positively and significantly correlated with microbial (bacterial and fungal) biomass, explained up to 60 percent of the total variability in microbial biomass and a significant difference in the ratio of fungal to bacterial biomass was found among the samples with high and low moisture content. Also the activity of several extracellular enzymes involved in decomposition (i.e., laccase, Mn-peroxidase, endo-1,4-b-glucanase, endo-1,4-b-xylanase, cellobiohydrolase, b-glucosidase, b-xylosidase, chitinase and acid phosphatase) correlated with soil moisture
