Effect of Heavy Metals Cu and Zn in Typical Farmland Soil on Enzyme Activity and Microbial Biomass in a Local Area of Eastern China

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work regards the three main soil types in local area of eastern China as the research objects, that is, cinnamon, fluvo-aquic and brown soils are conducted corresponding investigations. In order to analyze the effects which Cu and Zn exert on urease’s and catalase’s activity as well as the microbial biomass carbon, the exogenous Cu and Zn were added to the gathered surface soil with the depth of 0-20cm.
