Abstract
This work investigates the microbiological situation of city soils as an indicator of the soils' functional capability, and their impairment due to heavy metal pollution. It gives a survey of the literature (biological activities, influences on biological activities from heavy metals, microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, enzyme activities, CO{sub 2} respiration, mechanisms of resistance, simulation effects), points out the area of investigation and the investigated plots, and describes the method adapted. The latter includes sampling and sample storage, soil-chemical and soil-biological methods, laboratory experiments and statistical evaluation. The investigation results, which are reported in detail, cover, inter alia, the following: pH value, CaCO{sub 3} contents, cation exchange capacity, carbon content, catalase activity, urease activity and the relative comparison of microbial activity between the types of use. Results relating to heavy metal contents cover the total content and the effect of heavy metal pollutions on substrate-induced respiration, catalase activity and xylanase activity. (HWJ).
