In order to discover the biochemistry mechanism of sediments in eutrophic grass-type lakes, this study selected four grass-type lakes in north China to explore the relation between enzyme activities of sediments and lake eutrophication condition. By applying the assessment method of organic nitrogen (ON) and total phosphorus (TP), the nutrition of lake sediments were assessed. As the results show, Hengshui (HS) Lake and Baiyangdian (BY) Lake, suffering severe pollution, have much higher urease activity in comparison with Nansi (NS) Lake and Dongping (DP) Lake. In addition, there is significant positive correlation between the urease activity and the contents of total nitrogen (TN) and organic matter (OM) of sediments (r?=?0.805, p?
