Abstract
Soil enzyme activities (dehydrogenase, urease,phosphatase, and arylsulfatase) in a temperate forest soilwere determined in relation to land scape position and seasons. Overstory of the area is dominated by Quercusmongolica, Kalopanax pictus, Carpicus cordata, and Acer pseudo-sieboldianum. The activities were measured in three patches, namely a north-facing backslope, a ridge,and a south-facing backslope in autumn and spring over 2 years. In addition, spatially more detailed analysis for phosphatase was conducted before and after litterfall production in six patches. Dehydrogenase, urease,phosphatase, and arylsulfatase activities varied 1.8–18.5 lg INT-formazan g

1, respectively. In general, higher enzyme activities were found in the northern aspect than in the southern aspect. This variation appears to be related to differences in chemical properties (e.g., Fe, Al,and Mg) of soil as well as distribution of leaf litter. Two patterns were discernible in relation to seasonal variations.Dehydrogenase and urease exhibited a positive correlation with mean air temperature, suggesting that temperature would be a major controlling variable for those enzymes. In contrast, higher activities were detected in autumn for phosphatase and arylsulfatase activities, which appeared to be closely related to litter production and distribution. Overall results of this study indicate that soil enzyme activities in a forest floor are influenced by several variables such as temperature, nutrient availability, and input of leaf litter, which are closely related to landscape position.

摘要
土壤酶活性（脱氢酶，脲酶，磷酸酶，和芳基硫酸酯酶）在与景观位置和季节确定的温带森林土壤。这个地区的上层是由quercusmongolica，刺楸红腹锦鸡，腕鱼腥草为主，和宏基的伪sieboldianum。在三补丁进行活动，即一个朝北的后坡，山脊，和一个朝南的后坡在秋季和春季2多年。此外，空间更详细的分析，在六补丁和磷酸酶凋落物后进行。脱氢酶，脲酶，磷酸酶，和芳基硫酸酯酶活性变化1.8–18.5 LG G
