Salinity is the key global problem of the soil environment degradation. The paper demonstrates the results of research of the activity of selected soil enzymes (catalase, dehydrogenase, alkaline and acid phosphatase, rhodanase and arylsulphatase) as well as the content of macroelements (available phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and sulphates sulphur) in terms of the principal physicochemical properties. The soil was located in the vicinity of old sedimentation tanks within the impact of the plant of CIECH Soda Polska S.A (the soda plant) in Inowrocław (Central Poland). Pearson's correlation coefficients were applied to assess the interactions between some physicochemical properties, some macroelements and soil enzyme activities. The results have shown that the soil ECe, P, K, Mg and S contents were changing depending on the soil sampling locations. The soil enzymes did not change significantly with an increase in ECe. The activity of rhodanase differed from the other soil enzymes analysed; that one can be used as an indicator of environmental pollutants produced during chemical industry processes. The result of this study found inconsistent salt-affected soil effects on soil enzyme activity. It remains a challenge to thoroughly delineate effects of salt-affected soil on soil process in general and on biochemical processes in particular, and as a result, the selection of the adequate method of revegetating such soil.
