The activity of soil urease (EC 3.5.1.5) was determined in dry samples according to the Hofmann & Schmidt (1953) method and that of saccharase (invertase) (EC 3.2.1.26) according to the Hofmann & Seegerer (1950) method (both methods cited in and modified by Chunderova, 1973).
(2008), soil saccharase activity is positively correlated with total nitrogen and available phosphorus, and urease activity is negatively correlated with the soil pH.
