Conteúdo: 	Abstract Microbial and biochemical indicators of soil health were use do assess the ecological and biological activity of soils contaminated with metals at a lead smelter plant and surrounding area in northeast Brazil. Soil respiration, microbial biomass of C and N, acid phosphatase, asparaginase, and density of ammonifying and ammonium-oxidizing microorganisms were positively correlated with soil Organic carbon and/or water content, but showed negative correlations with metal soil.Nitri?cation rate and metabolic quotient (qCO) were positively correlated with metal contamination,suggesting favorable conditions for N loss and 2 microbial stress, respectively. No conditions contents signi?cant correlations were found between metal concentrations in soil and dehydrogenase activity or ammoni?cation rate,considering water content and soil organic carbon as covariables. Soil respiration, microbial biomasses of C and N, dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, asparaginase activities, and ammonifying microorganisms were positively correlated with percentage vegetation cover, while nitri?cation and ammoni?cation rates were negatively correlated with this parameter. In general, soil respiration, microbial biomass of C and N, acid phosphatase, asparaginase, density of ammonifying and ammonium oxidizing microorganisms,nitri?cation rate and qCO indicated high ecological risk for soil functions mediated by microorganisms(concerning to C and 2 nutrient cycling) due to deposition of tailing contaminated with 17 years after the smelter activities had stopped. Besides direct effect of metal toxicity on microbial biomass and activity, there are indirect effects related to changes in vegetation cover, soil organic carbon, pH, and nutrient availability, and consequently changes in the soil microclimate and physical?chemical properties that may lead to losses of habitat function for soil microorganisms and the they play. However, a multivariate decomposition of variance indicated that vegetation cover explained only3.1%, whereas metals explained 26.9% of the variation associated to the microbial/biochemical indicators,showing a stronger effect of metals.
