Figure 2.

Enzymatic activity in selected soils at two sampling dates – September 2024, and April 2025. (A) Field O1 from the Opole voivodeship; (B) Field D3 from the Lower Silesia voivodeship. DHa – dehydrogenases activity [μg TPF g−1 d.m. of soil 24 h−1]; AcP – acid phosphatase activity [μg PNP g−1 d.m. of soil 1 h−1]; AlP – alkaline phosphatase activity [μg PNP g−1 d.m. of soil 1 h−1]. The values show the mean of n = 3 ± SD. Different letters (a-b) indicate statistically significant differences at P ≤ 0.05 for a given enzyme (One Way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test).

Figure 3.

Comparison of metabolic activity (AWCD) and diversity (H’) of soil microorganisms at two sampling dates – September 2024, and April 2025. (A) Field O1 in the Opole voivodeship; (B) Field D3 in the Lower Silesia voivodeship. AWCD – index of metabolic activity; H’ – metabolic diversity index. Values show the mean of n = 3 ± SD. Different letters (a-b) indicate statistically significant differences at P ≤ 0.05 for a given index (One Way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test).
