abstract: Ecological alteration of degraded lands can improve their sustainability
  by addition of large amount of biomass to soil resulting in improved soil health.
  Soil biological parameters (such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling enzyme
  activity) are reactive to minute variations in soils [Ghosh et al. (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2021.106176>
  ]. Hence, biological activity index combining Urease, Alkaline Phosphatase, Dehydrogenase
  (DHA) & Beta-Glucosidase activity will assist in detecting early changes in restored
  land use systems [Patidar et al. (2023) <https://doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.2023.1230156>].
  This package helps to calculate Biological Activity Index (BAI) based on vectors
  of Land Use System/treatment and control/reference Land Use System containing four
  values of Urease, Alkaline Phosphatase, DHA & Beta-Glucosidase. (DHA), urease (URE),
  fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis (FDA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities
  are measured in soil samples using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride, urea, fluorescein
  diacetate and p-nitro phenyl-phosphate as substrates, respectively.
