Preliminary Results of Effect of Rotational Grazing of Farmed Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) on the Biochemical Status of Soil

The aim of the study was to identify trends and dynamics changes in chemical biochemical properties soil induced by rotational grazing farmed deer. Soils pH content mineral nitrogen forms, total nitrogen, organic carbon were determined activity three enzymes. monitored soils slightly acidic neutral, with 1 mol KCldm−3 ranging from 6.37 7.03. contents carbon, range 9.42–19.37 gkg−1 1.13–2.24 gkg−1, respectively, while N-NH4+ N-NO3− 1.34–7.08 mgkg−1 102.8–619.5 mgkg−1, respectively. mean levels nitrate pasture lower than that mown soil. pastures characterized a higher level available phosphorus, potassium, magnesium forms In deer areas, all enzymes clearly control plot. results present pilot have demonstrated positive effect cervid on parameters environment.
