Quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important element in the assessment of the carbon sequestration potential of soils in tree-based intercropping (TBI) systems. The organic carbon (OC) concentrations of soils in TBI systems often differ from those in conventional agricultural systems due to the additional C inputs from litter fall and roots. However, the presence of soil inorganic carbon (SIC) can confound the measurements of SOC. This study compared three methods of measuring SOC: (i) measurement of the total soil C (TC) in one subsample and, after treatment in a muffle furnace (575 °C) for 24 h, measurement of SIC in another subsample; (ii) SOC measured after fumigation with 12 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) to remove SIC; and (iii) SOC measured after digestion with 0.73 M H2SO3 to remove SIC. The TC, SOC, and SIC concentrations were determined by combustion. A correction factor was applied to express SIC and SOC concentrations on an original, untreated soil basis. Measurement of SOC by the muffle furnace method resulted in the greatest SOC concentrations for Populus spp. (hybrid poplar) for samples from two of the three depths (0–10 and 20–40 cm). Measurement of SOC by the HCl fumigation and H2SO3 digestion methods were highly correlated, suggesting complete removal of SIC with minimal oxidation of SOC. These results have implications for the method of measuring SOC in calcareous soils under coniferous and deciduous tree species to a depth of 40 cm.  相似文献

Abstract

Walkley‐Black method is a simple and rapid method for organic carbon analysis. Because of incomplete oxidation of organic carbon (C), the recovery of organic C is low with this method. Assuming the 77% recovery of organic C with Walkley‐Black method, the results are corrected with a correction factor of 1.30. The objective of this study is to determine the soil organic C recovery rate and appropriate correction factor for Walkley‐Black (wet combustion) method for tilled soils in southern Illinois. Soil samples were collected in 1995 and 1996 from a trial established in southern Illinois on a moderately well drained, Grantsburg (fine‐silty, mixed, mesic Oxyaquic Fragiudalf) soil. Organic C contents with the Leco analyzer (dry combustion) were significantly higher as compared to the Walkley‐Black method in different tillage systems (no‐till, chisel plow and moldboard plow), soil organic matter fractions (whole soil and mineral fraction) and soil depths (0–5 and 5–15 cm). The recovery percentage of organic C was lower than the assumed percentage with the Walkley‐Black method. No significant differences in organic C recovery percentage were found due to differences in tillage systems and depths, whereas the recovery percentage was lower in mineral fraction as compared to the whole soil. The lower organic C recovery percentage was due to the more stable organic C compounds in the mineral fraction. On the basis of these findings, correction factors of 1.35 and 1.41 are proposed for whole soil and mineral organic C analysis with Walkley‐Black method, respectively for tilled Grantsburg and other similar soils in southern Illinois.  相似文献

Globally, there is problem of computing soil carbon stock because the Walkley–Black method gives only an approximation of soil organic carbon content. Until now, no universal relationship between Walkley–Black carbon (WBC) and total soil organic carbon (TOC) has been developed that could be applicable in all kinds of soil. In the present study, relationships between WBC and TOC were established from samples collected from central and northern India. TOC was measured by dry combustion technique and WBC was determined by wet digestion methods. A relationship between WBC and TOC was developed by taking into account silt + clay content (SICL) of soil and mean annual rainfall (MAR) of the region (adj. R2 = 0.99, n = 100). The present study gives an easy approach to measure TOC by easily available data sets (WBC, SICL, and MAR). Using this relationship, computation of soil carbon stock that was done earlier with WBC values could be revisited and improved.  相似文献

Mapping soil organic carbon (SOC) and establishing any change over time are important because of CO2 fluxes between soil and atmosphere and cropland decreases in SOC. The latter is one of the main causes of soil fertility decline and increased erodibility. As most analytical methods underestimate total SOC content, correction factors are needed to avoid methodological bias when comparing SOC data from sampling campaigns using different analytical procedures. The traditional method for SOC analysis used to be, and in most cases still is wet oxidation in potassium dichromate, better known as the Walkley & Black method. In this study, we aim to estimate correction factors for the classic and modified version of the Walkley & Black method for different land use and soil type combinations for agricultural soils in north Belgium. General correction factors of 1.47 for the classic Walkley & Black method and 1.20 for the modified Walkley & Black method are proposed. The results show that sandy grassland soils are characterised by lower recoveries than silt loam grassland soils. Furthermore, the correction factor appears to increase with soil wetness.  相似文献

Abstract

In acid soils, where organic carbon (C) corresponds to total C, direct determination of organic C by dry combustion is possible, whereas in soils with carbonates also a separate measurement of inorganic C is required. In this case, direct quantification of organic C can be accomplished by the Walkley‐Black method, which is time‐consuming and involves greatly polluting by‐products. Hence, a method able to determine directly organic C by dry combustion is strongly needed for soils with carbonates. This study proposes such a method, after it was found to be highly reliable in calcareous soils of a Mediterranean island. The correction factor to use in the Walkley‐Black method to account for nonrecoverable C was calculated. It does not show any overall relationship with the contents of either organic C or inorganic C, and for all land uses examined in the island, it is not significantly different from the commonly suggested value 1.30.  相似文献

Substantial losses of soil organic carbon (SOC) from the plough layer of intensively managed arable soils in western Europe have recently been reported, but these estimates are associated with very large uncertainties. Following soil surveys in 1952 and 1990 of arable soils in West Flanders (Belgium), we resampled 116 sites in 2003 and thus obtained three paired measurements of the OC stocks in these soils. Ten soils were selected for detailed physical fractionation to obtain possible further explanations for changes in SOC stocks. Between 1990 and 2003, the SOC stocks decreased at an average rate of ?0.19 t OC ha?1 year?1. This loss is significant but is still less than half the rate of SOC decrease that was estimated previously for the whole region of Flanders, which includes the study area. Variation in SOC stocks or in the magnitude of SOC stock losses could not be related to soil texture, to changes in ploughing depth, or to recent land‐use changes. A good relationship, however, was found between the SOC losses and organic matter (OM) inputs. The results of the physical fractionation also suggested management to be the predominant factor determining variation in SOC stocks because no correlation was found between soil texture and the absolute amounts of OC present in the largest OM fractions, that is, the OC in free particulate organic matter (POM), and OC associated with the silt + clay size fraction. The proportion of OC in free POM was up to 40% of the total OC, which indicates the important impact of management on SOC and also indicates that a substantial part of the SOC still present, may in the future be lost at a time scale of years to decades assuming that the intensive management continues.  相似文献

Abstract

Soil cultivation influences organic carbon storage and soil structures. To evaluate the impact of different soil‐management practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) pools and aggregate stability in black soils, SOC in whole soil, various size aggregates, and density‐separated fractions from three long‐term experiments (20 years) was examined. The three soil‐management systems were grassland (GL), bare land (BL), and croplands. The croplands had two treatments: nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application (NP) and NP together with organic manure (NPM). The SOC in the 0‐ to 10‐cm layer decreased in the order NPM>GL>NP>BL and also declined with the soil depth. The SOC of GL increased by 9.7% as compared to NP after 20 years of natural vegetation restoration. The SOC of NPM increased by 11% over NP after 13 years of organic manure application. The percentages of water‐stable aggregate (>0.25 mm) (WSA>0.25mm) decreased in the order GL>BL>NPM>NP in the top 0‐ to 20‐cm horizon. WSA>2mm, the most important fraction for carbon (C) storage in GL and NPM, accounted for 33 and 45% of the whole soil for GL in the depths of 0–10 and 10–20 cm, respectively, and 25 and 18% for NPM in the same soil layers. A significant positive correlation was found between the C stored in WSA>2mm and total SOC (r=0.81, P<0.05) and between the mean weight diameters (MWD) of aggregates and total SOC (r=0.78, P<0.05). Water‐stable aggregate0.25–2mm was the largest fraction of WSA>0.25mm, ranging from 54 to 72% for the 0‐ to 10‐cm layer and 46 to 71% for the 10‐ to 20‐cm layer; thus these aggregates would play a major role in soil sustainability as well as the resistance to soil erosion. The organic carbon (OC) of heavy fraction (HF) accounted for 94–99% of the OC in the WSA0.25–2mm, whereas free particulate organic matter (fPOM) and occluded particulate organic matter (oPOM) contributed a minor fraction of the OC in the WSA0.25–2mm, suggesting that C sequestration in HF could enhance the stability of aggregates and C pools in black soil.  相似文献

Accurate measurement of soil organic carbon (SOC) is dependent on precise and fast methods for the separation of organic and inorganic carbon. The widely used methods involving thermal decomposition of soil samples at a specific temperature in an automated carbon (C) analyzer are susceptible to interference by carbonates and overestimation of organic C, and thus removal of carbonates by acid pretreatment of samples is recommended. Two carbonate-removal pretreatments including hydrochloric (HCl) acid addition and HCl fumigation are compared using the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) standard and soil samples of varying SOC contents. Both pretreatment methods provided similar measurements of organic C, indicating that both methods are efficient in removal of carbonates present in the soil. However, the HCl fumigation method exhibited greater accuracy and precision compared to the HCl addition method. Hence, SOC measurement procedure involving HCl fumigation as a pretreatment for the removal of carbonates is recommended for carbonate-rich soils.  相似文献

Organic soils or Histosols or peats as they are commonly referred to, are characterized by the presence of large amounts of organic soil materials (OSM), which is commonly quantified by the Walkley and Black (1934) (WB) method to determine the soil organic matter (SOM) using a correction factor of 1.724. SOM of Histosols is also identified through a combustion (loss on ignition, LOI) or elemental C-analysis (with a carbon-nitrogen-sulfur (CNS) analyzer with combustion and gas density detector). These methods were established using temperate and boreal peat deposits and here we demonstrate that tropical peat deposits require a modified approach. Typical SE-Asian tropical lowland peat pedons from rain forest and oil palm settings were sampled and the material analysed using a CNS analyzer, WB-C and LOI. The ratios for LOI:CNS-C for the 20 samples yielded values between 2.00–3.09 with a mean of 2.50 while the LOI:WB-C ratio yielded values from 1.75 to 2.58 with a mean of 1.94. A comparison of these values for topsoils and subsoils showed mean ratios (LOI:WB-C) of 1.94 and 1.89 for topsoils and subsoils, respectively. The forest samples had higher LOI:WB-C ratios than the subsoils from oil palm settings (1.94 vs 1.84). These values suggest that the standard factor of 1.724 to correct OSM to SOM for tropical soils is untenable. The values to convert CNS and WB-C values of tropical topsoils/subsoils to SOM or LOI should be 2.5 or 1.9, respectively. Our results indicate a significant difference in the soil organic carbon (SOC) of tropical lowland peats depending on the method used.  相似文献

As interest in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics increases, so do needs for rapid, accurate, and inexpensive methods for quantifying SOC. Objectives were to i) evaluate near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy potential to determine SOC and soil organic matter (SOM) in soils from across Tennessee, USA; and ii) evaluate potential upper limits of SOC from forest, pasture, no-tillage, and conventional tilled sites. Samples were analyzed via dry-combustion (SOC), Walkley–Black chemical SOM, and NIR. In addition, the sample particle size was classified to give five surface roughness levels to determine effects of particle size on NIR. Partial least squares regression was used to develop a model for predicting SOC as measured by NIR by comparing against SOM and SOC. Both NIR and SOM correlated well (R2 > 0.9) with SOC (combustion). NIR is therefore considered a sufficiently accurate method for quantifying SOC in soils of Tennessee, with pasture and forested systems having the greatest accumulations.Abbreviations SOC, soil organic carbon; NIR, Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy; MTREC, Middle Tennessee Research and Education Center; RECM, Research and Education Center at Milan; PREC, Plateau Research and Education Center; PLS, Partial least squares.  相似文献

An accurate estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) is important for the evaluation and management of carbon (C) flux in terrestrial ecosystems. However, there is little work on the spatial variability of SOC in deep soils and its driving factors. Thus, the objective of the study was to derive the primary factors dominating the spatial distribution of SOC in different soil layers with the use of the autoregressive state‐space approach. The concentration of SOC was measured to the depth of 500 cm (n  = 86) along a south–north transect of China's Loess Plateau. The mean SOC of the 500‐cm soil profile generally decreased from south to north following the decreasing rainfall gradient. Based on the investigated factors, the state‐space model was able to capture 90.3–99.9% of the spatial variability of SOC in the various soil layers. According to the coefficients in the optimal state‐space model for each soil layer, climatic factors such as precipitation and temperature had a dominant control over the spatial distribution of SOC at shallow depths. However, both climatic and edaphic (e.g. soil texture) factors, and to a small extent land use, influenced the spatial behavior of SOC at the 40–200 cm soil depth. For soil layers below 200 cm, the importance of land use was revealed, and the spatial characteristics of SOC were together driven by land use, climatic and edaphic factors. This is critical for the management of soil C flux in deep soils and the C stock and cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. Table SI.

Abstract

This study compared three dichromate‐oxidation methods adapted for use with 100‐mL digestion tubes and 40‐tube block digester (for controlled heating), the Walkley‐Black method, a loss‐on‐ignition procedure and an automated dry combustion method for the determination of organic carbon in soils of the northwestern Canadian prairie. The Walkley‐Black method required a correction factor of 1.40. The modified Tinsley method and the Mebius procedure, adapted for use with 100‐mL digestion tubes, recovered 95% and 98%, respectively, of soil carbon against the dry combustion procedure. The presence of elemental carbon in some soils probably caused, at least partially, the slightly incomplete recovery; thermal decomposition of dichromate may not have been accurately corrected for. A dichromate‐oxidation procedure with controlled digestion at 135°C gave 100% recovery, but somewhat more variable results. The loss‐on‐ignition procedure, even when allowance was made for clay content of the soils, was the least satisfactory of the methods tested. All procedures produced correlation coefficients of 0.980 or better against the dry combustion method.  相似文献

东北黑土有机碳的分布及其损失量研究   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  
为了分析东北黑土土壤有机碳(SOC)的分布特征及其开垦以来黑土SOC的损失程度,我们于2004～2005年在黑龙江和吉林两省采集了32个自然黑土剖面样品,在每个自然黑土样品附近对应采集32个景观条件相似的耕作黑土样品。结果表明,自然黑土样品0～30cm土层SOC含量平均为32.20 g kg-1,最高可达63.46 g kg-1,黑龙江省自然黑土SOC含量(34.55 g kg-1)高于吉林省(23.80 g kg-1)。耕作土壤SOC平均含量为22.71 g kg-1,远低于自然土壤。受温度的影响,随着纬度的增加,自然黑土与耕作黑土SOC含量逐渐递增。由于土壤侵蚀以及耕垦和去除作物残留物等农业管理措施的综合作用,使得耕作黑土表层SOC含量小于自然黑土。与自然黑土相比,耕作黑土0～10cm土层SOC损失量在26.84%～46.57%之间,亚表层损失相对较少。黑土SOC含量下降也是土壤水土流失致使黑土层变薄的一个直接表现。耕作黑土表层流失厚度可以通过自然与耕作黑土剖面SOC含量的分异差值来估算。通过对土壤剖面上SOC的分布进行校正剔除土壤侵蚀的影响后得到的同等深度SOC含量的差值才可视为由耕作以及有机质输入量差异等因素造成的SOC损失量。未经校正而进行的自然黑土和耕作黑土同一深度SOC含量的比较可能过高估计了农业管理措施对土壤SOC损失量的影响。  相似文献

Land use change is a key factor driving changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) around the world. However, the changes in SOC following land use changes have not been fully elucidated, especially for deep soils (>100 cm). Thus, we investigated the variations of SOC under different land uses (cropland, jujube orchard, 7‐year‐old grassland and 30‐year‐old grassland) on hillslopes in the Yuanzegou watershed of the Loess Plateau in China based on soil datasets related to soils within the 0–100 cm. Furthermore, we quantified the contribution of deep‐layer SOC (200–1,800 cm) to that of whole soil profiles based on soil datasets within the 0–1,800 cm. The results showed that in shallow profiles (0–100 cm), land uses significantly (p  < 0·05) influenced the distribution of SOC contents and stocks in surface layer (0–20 cm) but not subsurface layers (20–100 cm). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that soil texture fractions and total N were significantly (p  < 0·05 or 0·01) correlated with SOC content, which may have masked effects of land use change on SOC. In deep profiles (0–1,800 cm), SOC stock generally decreased with soil depth. But deep soils showed high SOC sequestration capacity. The SOC accumulated in the 100–1,800 m equalled 90·6%, 91·6%, 87·5% and 88·6% of amounts in the top 100 cm under cropland, 7‐year‐old grassland, 30‐year‐old grassland and jujube orchard, respectively. The results provide insights into SOC dynamics following land use changes and stressed the importance of deep‐layer SOC in estimating SOC inventory in deep loess soils.

滇中不同植物群落对紫色土表层土壤碳、氮累积的影响   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
通过连续观测2007-2008年滇中飒马场5种植物群落下紫色土表层土壤理化性质及碳、氮含量的旱雨季变化和层次分布特征,以揭示滇中不同植物群落对紫色土碳、氮累积效应的影响.研究结果表明:植物群落对表层土壤有机碳及其组分、全氮含量、pH及容重有显著的影响.云南松林表层土壤(0-20 cm)有机碳贮存量(24.9 t/ha)显著低于次生常绿阔叶林、桉树林和针阔混交林土壤的.不同植物群落表层土壤(0-20 cm)的全氮贮存量之间没有显著的差异.易氧化有机碳含量的变化是引起各植物群落表层土壤有机碳含量的呈现差异的主要原因.旱雨季变化对各土层易氧化有机碳及总有机碳含量、pH有明显的影响.表层土壤有机碳贮量与地表枯落物碳贮量变化特征之间表现出明显的滞后效应,且二者无显著相关性,表明地表枯落物可能不是影响土壤有机碳碳贮量季节变化的主要因素.  相似文献

Abstract

This study was carried out to correlate total nitrogen analyzed by two different methods: Kjeldahl (wet oxidation) and Perkin‐Elmer 2.400 Series II–CHN Mode (dry oxidation or combustion) in Histosols and soil surface horizons with high organic matter content, sampled in different regions of Brazil. A positive correlation (r=0.95**) was verified between the methods, showing that Kjeldahl, because of its simplicity, can be used to routinely determine total nitrogen content in the evaluated soils.  相似文献

Abstract

Organic carbon (OC) in leaves of seven nitrogen (N2)‐fixing trees and fifteen lignite‐based fertilizers was measured by loss‐on‐ignition (LOI at 500°C), wet oxidation by the Walkley‐Black method (CWB), Tinsley Dichromate Method (CTS), and dry combustion method using a LECO SC444 Carbon/ Sulphur Resistance Furnace Analyzer (CTO). There were significant differences in the capabilities of the methods in measuring OC from the organic materials with the quantity measured in the following order: LOI > CTO > CTS > CWB. A highly significant difference between LOI and CTO values suggested that components other than organic carbon (C) were removed by LOI since CTO gives total C value. The result also showed that N content in the organic materials was highly correlated with OC measured by individual methods. The LOI, CWB, and CTS were significantly correlated with CTO. The regression equations which were specific for either plant leaves or lignite‐based fertilizers indicated that any of the methods could be used to predict total C in the organic materials with a high degree of precision. In addition to the regression approach, an estimated correction factor of 1.4550 would be more appropriate to predict CTO from CWB for plant leaves than the 1.30 factor usually used for estimating oxidizable C in soils when CWB method is used. Also, a factor of 0.36180 could be used to estimate total C from LOI method for lignite fertilizers instead of merely regarding the difference in weight loss as the total organic matter.  相似文献

Black carbon (BC), composed of char and soot, is an important component of soil organic carbon (SOC), and these materials are potentially important for the global carbon cycle and global climate. A thermal‐optical reflectance method was used to determine the spatial patterns of SOC, BC, char and soot in nine soil types collected from 152 sites in the Qinghai Lake catchment. All of the analytes showed large spatial variability: SOC, BC and char were most abundant in bog soils and least abundant in aeolian soils, while soot concentrations in alpine frost desert and in aeolian soils were about half of those in the other soils. The average BC concentration in the 0–20‐cm soil layers was 1.3 g kg?1, and BC amounted to 5.6% of the SOC. Char, SOC and BC all decreased with soil depth, but soot showed little variation. The proportions of BC to SOC and char to BC showed contrasting trends in four soil profiles; the former increased and the latter decreased with depth. The quantity of SOC sequestered in topsoils of the catchment area was estimated to be 191 Tg; BC accounted for approximately 4.8% of this, and char made up approximately 85% of the total BC stock. The burning of animal dung for domestic cooking apparently was an important source of soil BC: combustion of other biofuels and fossil fuels was the other main source.  相似文献

Abstract

The conventional dichromate (Walkley and Black), carbon analyzer, and weight loss‐on‐ignition (WLOI) methods are compared for determination of organic matter contents in composts and organic mulches. The objective of this study was to evaluate these three methods for their reliability in determining the organic matter contents of composts and organic mulches that also contain inorganic carbon. The carbon analyzer method overestimated organic matter contents for samples containing inorganic carbon (C) as carbonate or charcoal C. The removal of inorganic C improved the correlation coefficients (r) of results obtained by the carbon analyzer method and the Walkley and Black method (0.95 vs. 0.89). The WLOI method produced results more similar to those obtained with the Walkley and Black method than with a carbon analyzer. Oven drying samples for 16–24 h at 105°C as a basal temperature for WLOI improved results compared with a basal temperature at 70°C, which is commonly used. A heating temperature of 500°C for 12 h resulted in organic matter determinations by the WLOI method in the closest agreement with those obtained by the Walkley and Black method.  相似文献

Abstract

The actual content of the soil organic carbon (SOC) has to be periodically measured for soil classification and nutrient management purposes. Traditional SOC tests are relatively time consuming and costly. A rapid field test would be valuable to delineate soil map units with similar SOC to simplify the process of land evaluation while increasing precision. The objectives of this study were to develop and evaluate a new field measurement technique for the quick assessment of SOC. The new method measures the emitted CO2 concentration 3 min after treatment of the soil sample with acidic potassium (K) permanganate solution. The inorganic carbonate content of the soil is measured separately with the addition of sulphuric acid only. Carbon dioxide concentration from both procedures is measured with a portable infrared gas analyzer. The difference between the concentrations measured after the two separate reactions provide an estimate of SOC. Samples from brown forest soils (ca Hapludalf) (0.19–5.53% SOC) were used for the method development. The correlation coefficient between the SOC determined by the new method and laboratory wet combustion method content was 0.76 for the full range of SOC and 0.81 for the soil samples with less than 20% carbonate.  相似文献
