“…Chromium is a heavy metal which presence in soil, water and atmosphere can be hazardous to the natural environment [1][2][3]. Therefore, knowledge of the transport and transformation of this element in the soil environment is important for predicting threats from its presence [4].…”

“…In salinized soils the soil enzyme activity is heavily hindered, which indicate a high level of stress in those soils (Chaudhary et al, 2015). This activity is directly related to the active biomass in soil, and both are precise indicators for soil quality (Stepniewska et al, 2009). The activities of enzymes in halophytic soil are depicted in Table 4.…”

SUMMARY. Salty soil samples from three zones of Cojocna (Cluj county, Romania) have been investigated physico-chemically and enzymologically. Rizosphere of some halophytes were investigated in order to assess saline stress on bacterial enzyme activities and halophytes adaptation mechanisms to enhanced salt content. Several physico-chemical parameters of salty soil were determinated: pH, conductivity and different mineral ion contents. Changeful bacterial enzymatic activities and mineral ion composition were detected according to soil salt content. Reduced values of all enzymatic activities were detected. Based on the studied enzyme activities the enzymatic indicators of soil quality (EISQ) were calculated. The EISQ values were low, between EISQ = 0.201 and 0.236. In the sudied salty area, only a few halophyte species were observed and identified, the most common are: Salicornia herbacea, Puccinellia distans, Artemisia santonica, Limonium gmelinii and Salsola soda. All three salty zones were classified as sodic and saline-sodic soils.

“…Catalase activity was measured by titration with potassium permanganate and urease activity was determined using the phenol/sodium hypochlorite colorimetric method (Stpniewska et al 2009;Yan et al 2013). Soil bacteria and fungi were enumerated using dilution plate counting on LB medium and Martin's medium (Martin 1950;Rayner et al 1990).…”

Long-term application of sewage sludge resulted in soil cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) contamination in a pot experiment conducted to phytoextract Cd/Zn repeatedly using Sedum plumbizincicola and Apium graceolens in monoculture or intercropping mode eight times. Shoot yields and soil physicochemical properties changed markedly with increasing number of remediation crops when the two plant species were intercropped compared with the unplanted control soil and the two monoculture treatments. Changes in soil microbial indices such as average well colour development, soil enzyme activity and soil microbial counts were also significantly affected by the growth of the remediation plants, especially intercropping with S. plumbizincicola and A. graveolens. The higher yields and amounts of Cd taken up indicated that intercropping of the hyperaccumulator and the vegetable species may be suitable for simultaneous agricultural production and soil remediation, with larger crop yields and higher phytoremediation efficiencies than under monoculture conditions.
