  Abstract:  Enzymological Analysis of Some Romanian Peatlands Peats sampled from 5 representative moors belonging to 3 types (highmoor, mesotrophic and low moor) were qualitatively analyzed to determine their enzymatic (invertase, cellobiase, lactase, amylase, carboxymethyl-cellulase, dextranase, innulase, levanase, maltase), activities. The results show that the oligases and polyases activities vary depending on the moor type. The enzymatic activities were found to be higher in the mesotrophic moor then in the high and low mors. Enzymatic activities registered a decreasing tendency with increasing depth of peat sampling and with the process of peat formation. The differences between the 3 moor types were relevant. The air drying of peat samples not determinated a decreasing of enzymatic activities, comparatively with native peat samples. Inactivation (destruction of enzymes) produced increasing acidity in highmoor peat samples.
