Studies on Soil Enzymatic Activities in Areas around Coal Mine

Abstract:

Soil enzymatic activities such as urease and invertase, were determined in areas polluted by Nesslers reagent colorimentric method and Mo-Phosphate colorimentric method in Yu Long coal mine, Shandong Province. The index of heavy metal pollution and the relationship between the activities of soil enzymes were analyzed. The results showed that the contents of heavy metals in contaminated soils were higher than those in unpolluted soils and the enzyme activities were decreased significantly with increasing contamination. The results of multivariate regression model test indicated that the elements of soil heavy metals have different influence on the soil enzymatic activities. It is feasible to use this index as a primary biochemical parameter to evaluate compound heavy metals pollution.
