Physical-based fractions of SOM were examined. Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) across ecotopes were 17.22 g kg?1 and 3.73 g kg?1, respectively. Soil C and N were higher in conventional tillage (CT) than no-till (NT) by 2.94% and 0.94%, respectively. Soil C ranged from 11.09 g kg?1 in silt to 18.02 g kg?1 in coarse sand; from 12.89 g kg?1 in fine sand to 18.88 g kg?1 in clay under NT and CT, respectively. Soil N ranged from 4.54 g kg?1 in silt to 5.55 g kg?1 in clay; from 5.06 g kg?1 in coarse sand to 5.56 g kg?1 in silt under NT and CT, respectively. Soil N in bulk soil changed by ?3.24% while soil C in bulk soil changed by ?11.87%. The silt + clay was saturated; hence, studies on soil C and N dynamics in these ecotopes are advocated. 相似文献

Acid soils in some mediterranean forests were investigated for the composition of the adsorption complex and the gradients in soil pH. The effective CEC (235–838 mmolc kg?1) and base saturation (93–98 %) are highest in ectorganic horizons. In the mineral horizons the effective CEC (23–52 mmolc kg?1) and base saturation (11–40 %) are much lower. The exchange complex of mineral horizons consists for 90 (AEh) to 40 percent (Bw2) of organic matter. The effective CEC of the mineral clay fraction is low (60 mmolc kg?1 clay). The clear trends in soil pH within the ectorganic layer of deciduous and sclerophyllous oak forests are attributed to vertical spatial separation of nitrogen mineralization (ammonification and strongly impeded nitrification) and nutrient uptake by roots (mainly NH4). This leads to a high effective CEC in the fermentation layer and acidification of the uppermost part of the mineral soil. In contrast to the situation in temperate forests this process is impeded in mediterranean coniferous forests, where litter decomposition is extremely slow and both proton production and consumption take place in the organic rich mineral horizon. 相似文献

Soil organic matter can be divided into different organic carbon (C) pools with different turnover rates. The organic pollutants in soils associated with these organic C pools may have different bioavailability and environmental risks during the decomposition of soil organic matter. We studied the distribution patterns of 15 USEPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different particle‐size separates (clay, fine silt, coarse silt, fine sand and coarse sand) and density fractions (light and heavy fractions) of nine agricultural topsoils (0–20 cm depth) from a contaminated area in the Yangtze River Delta region of east China. There was a decreasing trend in PAH concentration in particle‐size separates with decreasing particle size. However, the different particle‐size separates had similar PAH composition. The concentration of PAHs in the light fraction ranged from 13 037 to 107 299 μg kg?1, far higher than in the heavy fraction, which ranged from 222 to 298 μg kg?1. Although the light fraction accounted for only 0.4–2.3% of the soils, it was associated with 31.5–69.5% of soil PAHs. The organic matter in coarse silt had the strongest capacity for enrichment with PAHs. Combining the distributions of PAHs and the turnover rates of organic matter in different soil fractions, the environmental risks of PAH‐polluted soils may be due mainly to the PAHs associated with sand and the light fraction. 相似文献

The present study combined a physical fractionation procedure with the determination of the natural abundance of 15N to investigate the impact of organic manure and mineral fertilizer application, and fallow on changes of N associated with different soil particle size fractions. The long‐term field experiment was conducted since 1956 in Ultuna, Sweden, on an Eutric Cambisol. Nitrogen in bulk soil and in particle size fractions changed significantly since 1956. The Nt concentrations in bulk soil decreased in all treatments not receiving organic materials. Comparing the N contribution of particle‐size fractions to the total N amount revealed the following ranking: silt > clay > fine clay > fine sand > coarse sand. The relative contribution of N in silt sized particles significantly increased from low to high bulk soil N contents, whereas N in clay and fine clay fractions decreased. The C : N ratios of particle size fractions differed considerably more between treatments than C : N ratios in bulk soils. Generally, the C : N ratios decreased from coarse to fine fractions emphasizing the tendency of smaller fractions being more significant as N sink than as Corg sink. 15N abundances varied more between particle size fractions of single treatments than between bulk soil from differently treated plots. Within treatments we observed differences of up to 7.1 ‰ between particle size fractions. In most cases δ 15N values increased with decreasing particle sizes. This pattern on average was similar to changes in δ 13 C. Our results suggest that silt sized particles acted as medium‐term sink of introduced N and that 15N abundances in particle size fractions sensitively reflect changes in N status in response to soil management. 相似文献

15NO3? was immobilized in a calcareous clay and a calcareous sandy soil during incubation of each soil with glucose and wheat straw. Changes in the distribution of immobilized 15N amongst soil extracts and soil fractions of different particle size and density were determined during periods of net N immobilization.The nature of the organic-C amendment, but not soil type, significantly influenced both the distribution of the immobilized 15N and the pattern of changes of the organic-15N of soil fractions with time. In straw-amended soils, approx. 20% of the organic-15N became associated with a light fraction, sp. gr. < 1.59, the remainder becoming distributed mainly amongst the silt and clay fractions. In glucoseamended soils, very little (< 1.2%) of the 15N was immobilized in the light fraction, sp. gr. < 1.59, most being rapidly distributed amongst the silt and clay fractions. During a period of complete immobilization, organic-15N was transferred from the fine clay to the silt and coarse clay fractions.Silt, coarse clay and fine clay components from glucose-amended soils sampled at the end of the net immobilization phase were further fractionated densimetrically into light (sp. gr. < 2.06) and heavy (sp. gr. > 2.06) subfractions. The organic-15N of respective light subfractions accounted for 43–64% of the total organic-15N of the silt, 1–9% of that of the coarse clay and 19–21% of that of the fine clay fractions. 相似文献

Abstract Many of the cultivated soils of sub‐Saharan Africa typically have a surface horizon low in clay and with a low cation exchange capacity (CEC). In these soils, CEC is largely due to the soil organic matter (SOM). Measurements made on long‐term trials show that changes in CEC and SOM are positively correlated to one another, but not of same magnitude, suggesting that not all of the SOM plays an equal role as regards the soil CEC. To study the influence of the different SOM size fractions on the CEC, soils with or without application of manure or compost coming from trials in Chad and Côte d'Ivoire were separated without destruction of the SOM into five organo‐mineral fractions: “coarse sand”;, “fine sand”;, “coarse silt”;, “fine silt”;, and “clay”; made up of particles of sizes between 2,000 and 200, 200 and 50, 50 and 20, 20 and 2, and 2 and 0 μm, respectively. Fractionation was carried out by mechanical dispersion of the soil, wet sieving of the fractions larger than 20 μm, and decanting of the “clay”; and “fine silt”; fractions. The CEC of these fractions increases inversely with their size. The “clay”; fraction which contains half of the SOM contributes about 80% of the CEC of the soils. The CEC of the fractions is largely a function of their carbon (C) content, but the organic CEC per unit C of the “clay”; fraction appears to be four times greater than that of the other fractions (1,000 as against 270 cmolc kg‐1). Applications of manure or compost increase the CEC of the soils by increasing the soil C only when this C increase concerns the fine fractions of the SOM. 相似文献

Soils of the Countesswells and Insch series incubated with 14C labelled glucose or plant materials have been separated into clay (< 2 μm), silt, (2–20 μm), fine sand (20–250 μm) and coarse sand (>250μm) fractions and the distribution of individual labelled and unlabelled sugars was determined in each fraction. Both soils contained about 10–15 per cent clay, 18–23 per cent silt and about 60 per cent fine and coarse sand. For all soil samples the concentrations of sugars were usually greatest in the clay, slightly less in the silt, with values in the sand fractions being five or ten times lower, except when fresh plant material was present. In 14C glucose amended Insch soil, 55 per cent of the radioactivity in sugars (predominantly hexoses) occurred in the clay, 36 per cent in the silt, 3 per cent in the fine sand and 6 per cent in the coarse sand after 28 days incubation. For the Countesswells soil the values were 55, 42, 2 and 1 per cent respectively. In 14C ryegrass amended soil before incubation. 77 per cent of the radioactivity in sugars (predominantly glucose, arabinose and xylose) was in the coarse sand. After one year's incubation this had fallen to 59 per cent. In soil amended with 14C cereal rye straw the distribution of radioactivity in sugars after four years incubation was: clay, 21 per cent; silt, 43 per cent; fine sand, 21 per cent; coarse sand, 4 per cent. These distributions were compared with that of the naturally occurring sugars: clay, 31–42 per cent; silt, 40–43 per cent; fine sand, 3–11 per cent; coarse sand, 12–20 per cent. 相似文献

Abstract Soils collected from 15 locations from SE Nigeria at the 0‐ to 20‐cm depth were studied for the nutrient elements of fine fractions and their role in the stability of the soils. The objective was to understand the role of these elements in the stability of the aggregates. The fine fractions were clay and silt, and elements measured in the fine fractions were exchangeable sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), exchangeable acidity (EA), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and available phosphorus (P). The aggregate stability was measured at the microlevel with clay dispersible indices and water‐stable aggregate (WSA) <0.25 mm, and at macrolevel with other WSA indices and mean‐weight diameter (MWD). Soils varied from loamy sand to sandy clay. There were more exchangeable cations, CEC, EA, and available P in clay than in the silt fraction. Whereas EA values ranged from 2.8 to 10.4 cmol kg?1, they were between 1.6 and 9.2 cmol kg?1 in silt. The CEC in the clay fraction was from 7.4 to 70 cmol kg?1 and between 4.0 and 32.8 cmol kg?1 in the silt fraction. The WDC were from 50 to 310 g kg?1 while the average dispersion ratio (DR) was generally higher than the corresponding clay‐dispersion ratio (CDR), and the MWD ranged from 0.45 to 2.68 mm. Soils with WSA skewed mostly to higher WSA (>2–1.00 mm) had a higher MWD. Exchangeable Ca2+ in clay correlated significantly with CDR and WSA sizes 1.0–0.5 mm and 0.5–0.25 mm (r=0.45,* 0.51,* and 0.60*), respectively, but negatively correlated with clay flocculation index (CFI) (r=?0.45*). Also, available P in clay correlated respectively with CDR and CFI (r=0.45*, ?0.45*), whereas K+ in silt correlated significantly with WDSi (r=0.64*), CFI (r=0.62*), and CDR (r=?0.65*). Principal component analysis revealed that elemental contents in the silt fraction can play very significant roles in the microaggregate stability. 相似文献

Mineral-selective K release from soils by octodecylammonium- ions (nc = 18) nc18-releasable potassium was determined on soils of five different areas. nc18-releasable K is the potassium which is displaced by octodecylammonium ions (ODA). Because the main sources of this potassium are trioctahedral micas, it is called briefly biotite-K. The investigated soils are from different areas in Bavaria (loess and clay stone derived soils, alluvial soils); partly the locations are K fertilizer trials. Soils of known age are locations from the Niederrhein terraces (Holocene soils). In the 0.2–2 μm (coarse clay) and 2–6 μm (fine silt) fractions the biotite-K content lies between 12 and 40% of total K. At given fractionation the highest amounts of K were released from the coarse clay of the soils. In the loess soils rich in silt the biotite-K pool in the medium and coarse silt fractions was also considerable. Clay soils showing poor K supplying power (K fertilizer trials) in the field are characterized by very low biotite-K quantities in all silt fractions. In the Holocene soils the age of which varies between 4 000 and 8 000 years the ODA releaseable values are greater than in the loess soils. In all fractions of the young Holocene soils the released K is greater than in the same fractions of the old Holocene soils. Calculated to a soil depth of 60 cm the K release in kg/ha reaches from 25 000 (young soil form) to 17 000 (old soil form). 相似文献

Limited information is available concerning the mineralogy of paddy soils in the southeastern China. Using chemical methods in conjunction with X-ray diffractometry, we studied the mineral composition of three paddy soils: Jinghua (paddy soil on Quaternary red clay), Fuyang (Hapl-percogenic loamy paddy soil), and Shaoxing (gleyic clayey paddy soil). All the soils contained quartz, mica, vermiculite, chlorite and kaolinite, and the distribution of these minerals varied with soil particle size fractions. The clay fraction of the Fuyang and Shaoxing soils also contained smectite. Although X-ray data did not show the presence of smectite in the Jinghua soil, this mineral was identified by the chemical method, suggesting a transitional property of the mineral in the soil. Hydroxy-Al interlayered minerals were also present in the clay fraction. The amount of smectite in the soils was 31.6 (Shaoxing), 16.5 (Fuyang), and 21.4 (Jinghua) g kg-1; for vermiculite it was 33.3 (Shaoxing), 16.5 (Fuyang), and 8.5 (Jinghua) g kg-1. Smectite was only found in the clay fraction. In contrast, amounts of vermiculite in soil particle size fractions were 3.0~11.4 (sand), 2.1~6.0 (coarse silt), 4.6~18.9 (medium silt), 0.9~40.0 (fine silt), and 17.0~108 (clay) g kg-1. The amount of noncrystalline aluminosilicates in the soils in g kg-1 decreased in the order: Shaoxing (2.4) > Jinghua (1.9) > Fuyang (1.7). This study has provided useful mineralogical information that is fundamental in future development of management strategies of the soils. 相似文献

Influences of organic fertilization and solarization in a greenhouse on particle-size fractions of a Mediterranean sandy soil 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The effects of a composted organic amendment and solarization on the organic matter (OM) of a sandy soil were determined
by means of particle-size fractionation and analysis of carbon and nitrogen contents. After 2 years, total soil carbon increased
under organic fertilization but did not significantly change with solarization. As a consequence of the climatic conditions
in the greenhouse, the carbon concentrations (g kg–1 fraction) of the particle-size fractions were lower than those found for temperate soils and closer to those for tropical
soils. The carbon amounts (g kg–1 soil) and carbon:nitrogen ratios, which were highest in fractions >200 μm, reflected the short-term influence of the industrially
processed organic amendment, rich in composted coarse plant debris. In contrast, the characteristics of the OM associated
with each fraction were not significantly affected by solarization. In comparison with other coarse-textured temperate or
tropical soils, carbon concentrations in fine silt (2–20 μm) and clay (0–2 μm) fractions were very low. This suggests a "greenhouse
effect", together with a high rate of carbon mineralization affecting fine silt and clay fractions.

Profiles of semi-arid-zone soils in Punjab, northwestern India, were investigated for different forms of copper (Cu), including total Cu, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)–extractable Cu, soil solution plus exchangeable Cu, Cu adsorbed onto inorganic sites, Cu bound by organic sites, and Cu adsorbed onto oxide surfaces. When all soils were considered, total Cu content ranged from 7 to 37 mg kg?1, while DTPA-extractable and soil solution plus exchangeable Cu contents ranged from 0.30 to 3.26 mg kg?1 and from 0.02 to 0.43 mg kg?1, respectively. Copper adsorbed onto inorganic sites ranged from 0.62 to 2.6 mg kg?1 and that onto oxide surfaces ranged from 2.0 to 13.2 mg kg?1. The Cu bound by organic sites ranged from 1.2 to 12.2 mg kg?1. The magnitudes of different forms of Cu in soils did not exhibit any consistent pattern of distribution. Organic matter and size fractions (clay and silt) had a strong influence on the distribution of different forms of Cu. The content of all forms of Cu was generally greater in the fine-textured Alfisols and Inceptisols than coarse-textured Entisols. Soil solution plus exchangeable Cu, Cu held onto organic sites, and and Cu adsorbed onto inorganic sites (crystalline) had significant positive correlations with organic carbon and silt contents.The DTPA Cu was positively correlated with organic carbon, silt, and clay contents. Total Cu content strongly correlated with silt and clay contents of soils. Among the forms, Cu held on the organic site, water soluble + exchangeable Cu, and Cu adsorbed onto oxide surface were positively correlated with DTPA-extractable Cu. The DTPA-extractable Cu and soil solution plus exchangeable Cu seems to be good indices of Cu availability in soils and can be used for correction of Cu deficiency in the soils of the region. The uptake of Cu was greater in fine-textured Inceptisols and Alfisols than coarse-textured Entisols. Among the different forms only DTPA-extractable Cu was positively correlated with total uptake of Cu. 相似文献

The concentrations of fatty acids in organo-mineral particle-size fractions of a Chernozem 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Fatty acids, the most abundant class of soil lipids, indicate pedogenetic processes and soil management. However, their quantitative distribution in organo‐mineral particle‐size fractions is unknown. The concentrations of n‐C10:0 to n‐C34:0 fatty acids both in whole soil samples and in the organo‐mineral particle‐size fractions of the Ap horizon of a Chernozem were determined (i) to evaluate the effects of long‐term fertilization and (ii) to investigate their influence on the aggregation of organo‐mineral primary particles. Quantification by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) showed that long‐term fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) and farmyard manure (FYM) led to larger concentrations (25.8 µg g?1) of fatty acids than in the unfertilized sample (22.0 µg g?1). For particle‐size fractions of the unfertilized soil, the fatty acid concentrations increased from the coarse silt to the clay fractions (except for fine silt). Fertilization with NPK and FYM resulted in absolute enrichments of n‐C21:0 to n‐C34:0 fatty acids with a maximum at n‐C28:0 in clay (×2.2), medium silt (×2.0), coarse silt (×1.8) and sand (×2.9) compared with the unfertilized treatment (the factors of enrichment are given in parentheses). New evidence for the aggregate stabilizing function of n‐C21:0 to n‐C34:0 fatty acids was shown by the characteristic pattern in size‐fractionated, disaggregated and aggregated samples. Highly significant correlations of fatty acid concentrations with organic C concentrations and specific surface areas are interpreted as indicators of (i) trapping of fatty acids in organic matter macromolecules and (ii) direct bonding to mineral surfaces. This interpretation was supported by the thermal volatilization and determination of fatty acids by pyrolysis‐field ionization mass spectrometry (Py‐FIMS). 相似文献

Soil samples were fractionated by sedimentation in water and by flotation in heavy liquids to separate complexed and uncomplexed organic and inorganic components. Flocculation of clays in heavy organic liquids was delayed by addition of a surfactant. Heavy liquids and surfactants sorbed by soil components were removed by washing with acetone-water mixtures.In a sample of a red-brown earth, the organic carbon and nitrogen contents were highest in the finest separates. In samples of a ground-water rendzina and a chernozemic soil, the coarse clay and silt separates had the highest organic carbon and nitrogen contents. Organic matter was concentrated in low density fractions in all separates. Carbon/nitrogen ratios were lowest in the finer and heavier separates. Calcium, and to a lesser extent manganese, iron and phosphorus, were concentrated in low density fractions: thus these elements appear to be associated with organic matter and may be important in organo-mineral complex formation. Carbonates, titanium, iron, silicon and potassium were concentrated at the highest densities.Organic fractions < 2.06 g cm?3 from sand size separates were insoluble in alkali and had wide carbon/nitrogen ratios characteristic of plant debris. The light fractions from fine silt and coarse clay separates were more soluble in alkali but showed high ratios of humic to fulvic materials and high absorption at 280 nm. Such materials were considered to be microbial cell debris and were associated with high contents of disordered aluminium and iron oxides and expanding lattice silicates in 1 to 5 μm aggregates.Heavier fractions, particularly of finer clay separates, contained more fulvic and humic materials of a more aliphatic nature than those in < 2.06 g cm?3 fractions. It is suggested that physical sorption on clay surfaces may be more important in these fractions. Ellite and kaolinite were concentrated in medium density fractions, and contents of some iron oxides and titanium minerals were highest in fractions > 2.06 g cm?3. Such minerals plus quartz and feldspars were associated with minor amounts of organic matter or possibly were not involved in organo-mineral associations. 相似文献

Influence of prolonged arable cropping on lignin compounds in sandy soils of the South African Highveld 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
The preservation of plant residues is important for sustainable arable cropping. Lignin is a marker for plant residues in soils. We have investigated influences of the length of cultivation on the dynamics of lignin. Composite samples were taken from the top 20 cm of soils that have been cropped for periods varying from 0 to 98 years in each of three different agro‐ecosystems in the Free State Province of South Africa. Lignin‐derived phenols were determined in the <2 µm (clay), 2–20 µm (silt), 20–250 µm (fine sand) and 250– 2000 µm (coarse sand) size separates. With increasing length of cultivation, the concentration of such phenols decreased to 36% of that in the grassland. The lignin contents as proportions of the total carbon did not change during cultivation, suggesting that there was no selective enrichment of lignin moieties as C was lost as a result of cultivation. The loss rate constants of lignin concentrations in particle‐size fractions increased in the order clay (0.17 year?1) ≤ silt (0.18 year?1) < fine sand (0.20 year?1) < coarse sand (0.22 year?1). Increasing ratios of phenolic acids to aldehydes in bulk soil, silt and fine sand fractions with increasing length of cultivation indicated that side chains were being oxidized. The ratios in the silt fraction, however, decreased after 10–20 years. We attribute this to a loss of lignin together with silt by wind erosion, resulting in a rejuvenation of lignin compounds in the remaining silt‐sized pools of C. 相似文献

Available iron, zinc, copper and manganese were determined in six pedons located in upper slope, middle slope and valley bottom soils derived from Abeokuta geological materials in Nigeria. The soils had an average of 639.8 g kg?1 sand, 241.8 g kg?1 clay and 118.4 g kg?1 silt. The fertility status of the soils was low–medium with a strongly acid–neutral reaction, 1.3–15.1 g kg?1 organic carbon contents, moderate–high exchangeable bases and 1.38 mg kg?1 available phosphorus. Both Fe (122.50 mg kg?1) and Mn (111.40 mg kg?1) occurred at toxic levels, whereas the mean Cu (1.27 mg kg?1) and Zn (2.56 mg kg?1) contents were found to be adequate for most crops grown in the region. There were significant positive correlations among the micronutrients and also between soil pH, organic carbon, particle size fractions and micronutrients. The high levels of Fe and Mn were probably due to the presence of oolitic ironstone in the parent material. 相似文献

The effect of total electrolyte concentration (TEC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of water on ESR‐SAR relationships of clay (Typic Haplustert), clay loam (Vertic Haplustept) and silt loam (Lithic Haplorthent) soils was studied in a laboratory experiment. Twenty four solutions, encompassing four TEC levels viz., 5, 10, 20, and 50 mmolc l—1 and six SAR levels viz., 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 mmol1/2l—1/2 were synthesized to equilibrate the soil samples using pure chloride salts of calcium, magnesium, and sodium at Mg:Ca = 1:2. SAR of equilibrium solution decreased as compared to the equilibrating solution and more so in waters of low salt concentration and high SAR. At low electrolyte concentration, high SAR values were not attained in the equilibrium solution because of addition of calcium and magnesium from the mineral dissolution and from the exchange phase. Irrespective of TEC, exchangeable sodium in all the soils increased by about 4.5 to 5‐fold and irrespective of SAR, it increased by about 1.4‐ to 1.8‐fold. A positive interaction of TEC and SAR influenced the ESP build‐up and CEC played a major role in the visual disparity in sodication of these soils. At higher TEC levels, considerable increase in ESP was observed when it was corrected for anion exclusion and more so in silt loam followed by clay loam and clay soils. The values for Gapons' constant were in the range 0.0110—0.0176, 0.0142—0.0246, and 0.0189—0.0344 mmol—1/2l1/2 in clay, clay loam, and silt loam soils, respectively. Increase in TEC from 5 to 50 mmolc l—1 resulted in 5.84, 8.33, and 9.77 % decrease in Gapons' constant of clay, clay loam, and silt loam soils, respectively. The soils exhibited differential affinity for Ca2+, Mg2+ or Na+ under different quality waters. Regression coefficients of ESR‐SAR relationship were lower for low TEC as compared with high TEC waters. The exchange equilibrium was strongly affected by TEC of the solution phase. Variation in soil pH was gradual with respect to TEC and SAR of equilibrating solution and no sharp change was observed. Soluble salt concentration was doubled upon equilibration with low salt waters at all SAR levels in all the soils. However, the salt concentration remained unchanged upon equilibration with high salt waters. Considering pH 8.5 a boundary between soil salinity and sodicity, ESP values attained at TEC 5 mmolc l—1 were 7.34, 8.02, and 14.32 for clay, clay loam, and silt loam soils, respectively. 相似文献

Desertification is reversible and can often be prevented by adopting measures to control the causal processes. Desertification has generally decreased in most of the arid and semiarid areas of China during the last few decades because of the restoration of degraded vegetation and soil nutrients. However, little is known about the responses of soil nutrients in different particle‐size fractions to the restoration process and about the importance of this response to the restoration of bulk‐soil nutrients. In this study, we separated bulk‐soil samples in different sieve fractions: coarse‐fine sand (2·0–0·1 mm), very fine sand (0·10–0·05 mm) and silt + clay (<0·05 mm) fractions. Soil organic carbon (SOC), N, P and K contents stored in the silt + clay were greater than the contents of non‐protected nutrients in the coarser fractions. During the restoration of desertified land, the content and stability of bulk‐soil SOC, total N and P and available N, P and K increased with increasing nutrient contents in all fractions. Topsoil nutrients stored in coarse‐fine sand and very fine sand fractions were more sensitive than those stored in the silt + clay fraction to the fixation of mobile sandy lands and vegetation recovery. The changes of bulk‐soil nutrients and their stability were decided by the soil nutrients associated with all particle‐size fractions. Path analysis revealed that SOC and total nutrients in very fine sand and available nutrients in coarse‐fine sand were the key factors driving the soil recovery. These results will help us understand soil recovery mechanisms and evaluate the degree of recovery. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
