In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were presented the results of research of the influence of drainage and long-term agricultural use of peat soils on the transformation of their biological activity: nitrifying, ammonifying and nitrogen-mineralized ability. There were showed the data close relation (R2 = 0,88-0,89) of nitrogen-mineralized ability of peat soils with a content of organic matter and their diagnostic signs of biological activity. Research results showed that soil drainage and agricultural use of pea t soils rendered substantial influence on their biological activity. Peat soils after their drainage had high potential of nitrifying, ammonifying and nitrogen-mineralized ability (AMN – sum of N-NO3+N-NH4) – 300-400 anf more N min.mg/kg of soil. In case of agricultural use and reduction of organic matter content in soil the potential of AMN lowered up to 118-141 N min.mg/kg of soil. There were determined close relations between content of organic matter in soil and nitrifying, ammonifying ability of peat soils which was presented by the appropriate regression equations.
