ABSTRACT
Taking into account high organic matter content in the orchid reserve soils of the Roztoczański National Park, the present authors tried to adapt the method worked out by Rice-Evans and Miller to estimate a soil extract antioxidant activity. This method is used to compare antioxidant activity of complex substances with various organic compounds. The method corroborated the occurrence of antioxydation substances in the tested soil samples.
