- Abstract
The aim of this paper was to assess the activity of some enzymes from soils of heterogeneous zones in order to understand the complex processes that happen in these habitats of special significance. The sampling sites were mountain zone - Parâng Mountains, karstic zone - Sureanu Mountains, hill zone Transylvanian Plateau - Suatu and flood plain zone - Somes flood plain). It was established the types of the soil samples collected from different zones. In the soil samples the following enzymatic activities have been quantitatively determined: actual and potential dehydrogenase, phosphatase and catalase. The studied activities were detected in all four soil samples, with differences noticed only as regard the intensity of the processes. Based on the absolute values on enzymatic activities, the enzymatic indicator of soil quality (EISQ) was calculated. The EISQ values ranged between 0.360 and 0.579, indicating a moderate intensity of the enzymatic activities.
