Abstract: Enzymatic activity of soils is the most important diagnostic indicator of the ecological state of soils affected by various types of anthropogenic impact. The aim of the study was to evaluate the enzymatic activity of ordinary chernozem (Haplic Chernozem) contaminated with Ag, Bi, Te, and Tl. Ten enzymes (catalase, dehydrogenase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, ascorbate oxidase, ferrireductase, protease, phosphatase, invertase, and urease) were analyzed. According to the degree of inhibition of enzymes, heavy metals formed the following sequence: Tl > Ag > Bi > Te. With an increase in the concentration of heavy metals, the toxic effect on the activity of enzymes increased. The oxidoreductases showed greater sensitivity to Ag, Bi, Te, and Tl contamination than hydrolases. Among oxidoreductases, the highest sensitivity was found for ferrireductase, and the lowest one for ascorbate oxidase. According to the activity of enzymes of the hydrolase class, invertase was the most sensitive, and urease was the least sensitive. When contaminated with Ag, Bi, and Te, invertase had the highest informative value, and when contaminated with Tl, urease and polyphenol oxidase were the most informative. Among the enzymes of the oxidoreductase class, the highest information value was found for peroxidase, and the lowest one for ascorbate oxidase. Among the enzymes of the hydrolase class, invertase was the most sensitive, and phosphatase was the least sensitive. The results of the study can be used to assess the ecological state of soils contaminated with Ag, Bi, Te and Tl. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
