THE EFFECT OF PLANT SPECIES ON SOME ENZYME ACTIVITIES OF THE SOIL OF A. Ü. Z. F. KENAN EVREN RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL FARM
The objective of our study was to determine soil urease and ß-Glucosidase enzyme activities in soil samples taken from three different depths (0-5 cm, 5-15 cm and 15-30 cm) and under different type of vegetation (apple, pine, clover, wheat and followed land). Highest activities, both urease and ß-...

| Summary: | The objective of our study was to determine soil urease and ß-Glucosidase enzyme activities in soil samples taken from three different depths (0-5 cm, 5-15 cm and 15-30 cm) and under different type of vegetation (apple, pine, clover, wheat and followed land). Highest activities, both urease and ß- Glucosidase were determined in soil samples representing parcels planted with clover. Enzyme activity showed increase in parcels which have high level of organic matter and total nitrogen. Urease enzyme activity was found higher than ß -Glucosidase activity in all samples. As the soil deepens, significant increase was monitored in urease activity (P |
