. Denitrifying enzyme activity (DEA) declined to a greater extent and was more variable in soils stored air‐dried for 6 months than after storage at 4 °C. DEA was greatest in fertilized soils. The relative differences in DEA between soils were maintained after storage at 4 °C. We suggest that storage at 4 °C is more appropriate than air‐drying.
