Abstract: The study on soil microbial biomass and the enzyme activities including urease,acidic phosphatase,catalase,protease,amylase and sucrase was carried out in shrub,shrub-tree and tree of plant communities in Langshan Forest Park in Hunan,China. In each forest,the tested soil was fetched back from different depths,0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. The results indicated that the content of organic matter (OM),total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were decreased with soil depth increasing. The content of soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC),microbial biomass nitrogen (SMBN),microbial biomass phosphorus (SMBP),and the contribution rate between SMBC/OM,SMBN/TN,and SMBP/TP in the 0-20 cm soil were higher than that in 20-40 cm. Among the stages of A,B and C,the content of SMBC and SMBP in stage of tree were the highest. The trend of the content of SMBP in 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm was C>A>B. When we came to the enzyme activities in the stage of A,B and C of the Langshan Forest Park plant communities,the activity of urease,acidic phosphatase,catalase,protease,amylase and sucrase in soil layer 0-20 were higher than that in soil layers 20-40 cm. The activity of sucrase in soil layer 0-20 cm was 15.14%-35.69%,higher than that in soil layer 20-40 cm. The trend of the activity of urease in soil layer 0-20 cm was C>B>A and it shown significant difference in this layer. The activity of protease in the stage of bush was 1.244 and 1.442 fold and 1.680 and 1.713 fold in that of stage of shrub-tree and tree respectively. The activity of neutral phosphatase is highest in the stage of shrub-tree while the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the stage of shrub was highest. The activity of catalase shown no significant difference among different recovery stage of A,B and C in soil layer 0-20 cm.
