Note; UR Urease (nmol NH4 g-1h-1), ACP Phosphatase U/g (1 nmol phenol released per gram of soil in 37ºC is one enzyme active unite per day),CAT Catalases U/g (enzyme activity per g of air-dried soil sample per day for catalytic degradation of 1mmol H2O2.), SC invertase U/g (production of 1mg reducing sugars per g of soil samples per day),SG slope gradient, SP slope position, se (±) = Standard Error. Means observed by the same letter within the same column for each site are not significantly different at α = 0.05 according to Tukey’s test.
