Influence of Radioactive Contamination of the Sr-90 Terrestrial Ecosystems on the Enzymatic Activity of the Soil
Abstract
One of the most promising methods of soil diagnostics is the determination of the parameters of enzymatic activity. Changes in urease, invertase, dehydrogenase and catalase activity of soil subjected to radioactive contamination with radionuclide Sr-90 have been studied. When the specific activity of Sr-90 in the soil varies in the range from the control value to more than 1.5 kBq / kg, the stability of invertase, urease and dehydrogenase is established. At the same time, the catalase activity of the soil is a sensitive indicator to radioactive contamination, which is described by a reliable model with a threshold value, after which the oppression of the indicator is observed.
