Enzymatic Activity as New Moorsh-Forming Process Indicators of Peatlands

The aim of this study is to comprehensively assess the change in oxidoreductive enzyme activities, due potential catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions, as basic processes on undrained drained peat soils. On peatlands, a significant decrease activities was observed such xanthine oxidase, urate phenol peroxidase with an increase depth. It connected significantly higher porosity values, hot water extractable organic carbon, total nitrogen contents, ammonium nitrate ions concentrations, lower ash bulk density values upper layers. depth measured. Enzyme xanthine, urate, were documented be effective new indicators tools for changes moorsh-forming process association oscillation table caused by drainage peatlands.
