In order to investigate the soil layer enzyme activity, distribution traits characteristics, and their relation with soil microbial biomass, physicochemical characteristics, this study took 3 soil types with different salinization levels (light, moderate, high) in Tumochuan plain as research objectives to analyze the correlation between soil enzyme activities, microbial biomass and physicochemical characteristics of 0~40 cm layer soils, by canonical correlation and typical correlation, and principal component analysis methods. The results showed that soil invertase, urease and alkaline activities decreased with the increase of soil depth. Their variation rates were 0.65~36.55 mg/g, 0.003~0.018 mg/g and 0.10~0.98 mg/g, respectively. While soil catalase activity increased with the increase of soil depth, and the changing rate was 2.76~3.35 mg/g. Soil invertase, catalase, urease and alkaline phosphatase activities decreased with the increase of total salt content, but soil enzyme activities were significantly different in different salt affected soils and during different seasons. There were obvious canonical correlation between soil enzyme activity and soil physicochemical properties, soil microbe quantity, basically representing general correlation between variables. The correlation between soil enzyme activity and soil physicochemical properties was mainly attributed to pH, organic matter-moisture content, available phosphorus and available potassium of physicochemical factors and invertase, catalase, urease and alkaline phosphatase; while the correlation between soil enzyme activity and soil microbe quantity was to invertase, urease of soil enzyme activities and bacteria, fungi, azotobacter of microbe quantities. The principal component analysis reflected that organic matter, alkaline phosphatase, invertase, actinomyces, cellulose decomposing bacteria and moisture content could be considered as the most important factors affecting soil fertility in Tumochuan plain.
