| Abstract/Contents: | "Sulphatase, urease and protease activities were studied in 12 New Zealand topsoils over 5 months during which the soils were held at 10, 18 and 25°C in pots sown with perennial ryegrass and in pots left fallow. Sulphatase activity in the planted soils showed little significant change over the period of examination. In contrast, sulphatase activity in the fallow soils decreased significantly in almost every instance, the extent of the decrease becoming larger with increasing temperature. Urease behaved similarly to sulphatase, except that in the planted soils several significant increases in activity occurred. Protease activities proved to be very variable. Because of this few significant differences in protease activity were recorded, although it showed the same trends as the other two enzymes. It is suggested that temperature-dependent denaturation could have caused the decrease in enzyme activity in the fallow soils. Replacement of activity lost in this manner by enzymes liberated from plants and microorganisms, and by intracellular enzymes, may have been responsible for the maintenance or increase of activity in the planted soils." |
