Biochemical processes in peat soils of a mesotrophic bog

[摘要] Microbial and enzymatic activities of peat soils in a mesotrophic bog of the Altai Republic were analyzed in 2013. Activities of catalase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes were found to depend on the botanical compositions of peat. Peroxidase was found to be more active in the lower part of the peat profile. Parameters of microbial biomass vary slightly with depth. The microflora is active throughout the profile. The peat soil was found to have a stable eco-physiological status.
