Summary
Laboratory experiments were performed to determine arylsulphatase acitvity in sandy clay loam and clay loam soils, and in samples obtained from these soils amended with crop residues. Kinetic parameters for arylsulphatase (Vmax and Km) were modified by addition of crop residues to the soils.
