The magnitude of and mechanisms for long‐term differences in soil organic matter stocks under no‐tillage and conventional tillage are still relatively poorly known. We quantified differences in total C and N stocks after 32 years of no‐tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) in plots with a long‐term cultivation history before differentiation and the same annual C and N returns to the soil. The role of physical protection of organic matter (OM) in these stock differences was further investigated by examining the changes at different levels of structural complexity, i.e. organic matter fractions, aggregation and pore‐size distribution. Four structural zones were sampled: loose and dense soil zones under CT and the 0–5 cm (rich in OM) and 5–20 cm (massive structure) soil layers under NT. The C and N stocks, calculated for an equivalent mass of dry soil, were only 10–15% larger under NT than under CT. Mineral‐associated N and particulate organic matter accounted for about 50% of the difference in N stocks. However, 66% of the total difference in C stocks was due to differences in the particulate organic matter (58%) and free residues (8%) fractions. The additional C and N under NT were almost exclusively situated in aggregates larger than 250 μm in diameter. Our results suggest that physical protection of OM under NT contributes significantly to the differences in C and N stocks between NT and CT by (i) enhanced macroaggregate formation in the 0–5 cm layer due to greater microbial activity and OM content and (ii) a better protection of soil organic matter in the 5–20 cm layer due to the presence of small pores and lack of soil disruption by tillage or climate. 相似文献

Carbon and nitrogen isotope composition of bulk soils, particle-size fractions and organic material after treatment with hydrofluoric acid 总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5
Soils and sediments contain only small amounts of organic matter, and large concentrations of paramagnetic metals can give poor solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of organic matter. Pretreatment of samples with hydrofluoric acid (HF) dissolves significant proportions of the mineral matrix and extracts paramagnetic elements. We investigated the effects of 10% HF treatment on the stable isotope content of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) of organic matter from soils, composts and shales. Additionally we inferred molecular and isotopic characteristics of lost materials from calculations of isotope mass balances. Treatment with HF enriched C and N in mineral samples substantially (factors 2.5–42.4), except for Podzol B horizons (1.1–1.7) and organic material (1.0–1.3). After treatment most of the C (59.7–91.7%) and N (53.7–86.6%) was recovered, although changing C/N ratios often indicated a preferential loss of N‐rich material. Isotope ratios of C and N in the remaining material became more negative when net alterations exceeded 0.3‰. The isotope ratios of the lost material contained more 13C (1–2‰) and 15N (1–4‰) than the initial organic matter. Acid hydrolysis typically removes proteins, amino acids and polysaccharides, all of which are enriched in 13C, and in the case of proteins and amino acids, enriched in 15N as well. We conclude that HF treatment released fresh, soluble, probably microbial, biomass in addition to carbohydrates. Net changes of the bulk chemical composition of organic matter were small for most soils, size fractions and plant material, but not for samples containing little organic matter, or those rich in easily soluble organic matter associated with iron oxides, such as Podzol B horizons. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the response of soil microbial biomass and organic matter fractions during the transition from conventional to organic farming in a tropical soil. Soil samples were collected from three different plots planted with Malpighia glaba: conventional plot with 10 years (CON); transitional plot with 2 years under organic farming system (TRA); organic plot with 5 years under organic farming system (ORG). A plot under native vegetation (NV) was used as a reference. Soil microbial biomass C (MBC) and N (MBN), soil organic carbon (SOC) and total N (TN), soil organic matter fractioning and microbial indices were evaluated in soil samples collected at 0–5, 5–10, 10–20 and 20–40 cm depth. SOC and fulvic acids fraction contents were higher in the ORG system at 0–5 cm and 5–10 cm depths. Soil MBC was highest in the ORG, in all depths, than in others plots. Soil MBN was similar between ORG, TRA and NV in the surface layer. The lowest values for soil MBC and MBN were observed in CON plot. Soil microbial biomass increased gradually from conventional to organic farming, leading to consistent and distinct differences from the conventional control by the end of the second year. 相似文献

Mo, V, and U are mobilized as anions by aerobically decomposing plant matter; the behaviour of the dissolved metals differs in several respects from what would be expected in inorganic systems. With respect to dialysis through cellophane, between pH I and 4 the mobilized Mo is fixed by colloidal organic decomposition products, with maximum retention at pH 1.5; V is retained between pH 1.5 and 7.0, with a maximum at pH 3. The specific fixation of Mo and V by soil organic matter was considerably less, and persisted over wider pH ranges–1.5-6.5 and 1.0-9.0 respectively. The fixation of U by both forms of humified organic matter increased sharply to a maximum around pH 4-5, and thereafter decreased slightly up to pH 8. The anionic forms of the three elements persisted when MOO:2-4, VO;-3 and UO, were incubated with anaerobically decomposing plant matter; under these conditions V(V) was probably reduced to V(IV), and it seems that an anionic V(IV) complex was formed. Although the molecular size of the colloidal decomposition products of lucerne was somewhat less than that of organic matter extracted from Rothamsted top soil, acid hydrolysates of the two humic acids contained the same twenty-three amino acids, in much the same relative proportions. 相似文献

Using adsorption isotherms, a study was performed of the adsorption of two organophosphorus pesticides, azinphosmethyl (sparingly soluble in water) and dichlorvos (moderately soluble in water), by montmorillonites saturated with the cations hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA+), dodecyltrimethylammonium (DDTMA+) and tetramethylammonium (TMA+) in aqueous media. The results were compared with those obtained for the adsorption of these pesticides by natural montmorillonite, humic acid and by the soil organic matter and with the octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) of the compounds. Results indicated that regarding the capacity to remove azinphosmethyl from water the organic matter derived from the organic cations HDTMA+ and DDTMA+ is 5–10 times more effective than humic acid; 10–20 times more effective than the organic matter from the soil and 20–50 times more efficient than octanol. However, both organic phases, that derived from the organic matter of the soil and that of the organic cations, have similar effectiveness for removing dichlorvos from water, in turn, their efficiency is 50 times higher than that of octanol. These findings may find application in the removal of azinphosmethyl or other sparingly water soluble organophosphorus pesticides from aquifers. 相似文献

Most schemes in common use for field and laboratory classification of peats were developed in boreal and humid temperate regions and do not recognize the distinctive features and specific uses of tropical peats, such as those of the Tasek Bera Basin in tropical Peninsular Malaysia. The important aspects of peat texture (morphology of constituents and their arrangement) and laboratory ash content (residue after ignition) need modification to be valuable for classifying these and other tropical peat deposits. In the Tasek Bera Basin, most of the deposits would not be considered as peat according to some classification schemes, even though most have C contents >25%. We propose a new three-group (fibric, hemic, sapric) field texture classification applicable to tropical organic deposits, which is similar to the system of the US Soil Taxonomy. The classification is based on the following factors: (1) visual examination of the morphology of the peat constituents (texture); and (2) estimates of fiber content and matrix (finest fraction of peat consisting of highly humified organic matter and inorganic material). The classification is applicable to all organic deposits with <65% ash (i.e., >35% loss on ignition). We also present a new laboratory classification of organic soils based on ash and C content. The US Soil Taxonomy classifies organic soils as having more than 12–18% organic C, depending on clay content. Ash content and these limits for organic soils allow the discrimination of four main groups: peat, muck, organic-rich soil/sediment and mineral soil/sediment. Peat is defined as having an ash content of 0–55%, muck 55–65%, organic-rich soil/sediment 65–80% and mineral soil/sediment 80–100%. The peat class is further subdivided into very low ash (0–5%), low ash (5–15%), medium ash (15–25%), high ash (25–40%) and very high ash (40–55%) subclasses. 相似文献

Experimental and literature data on the contents and stocks of active organic matter in 200 soil samples from the forest-tundra, southern-taiga, deciduous-forest, forest-steppe, dry-steppe, semidesert, and subtropical zones have been generalized. Natural lands, agrocenoses, treatments of long-term field experiments (bare fallow, unfertilized and fertilized crop rotations, perennial plantations), and different layers of soil profile are presented. Sphagnum peat and humus–peat soil in the tundra and forest-tundra zones are characterized by a very high content of active organic matter (300–600 mg C/100 g). Among the zonal soils, the content of active organic matter increases from the medium (75–150 mg C/100 g) to the high (150–300 mg C/100 g) level when going from soddy-podzolic soil to gray forest and dark-gray forest soils and then to leached chernozem. In the series from typical chernozem to ordinary and southern chernozem and chestnut and brown semidesert soils, a decrease in the content of active organic matter to the low (35–75 mg C/100 g) and very low (<35 mg C/100 g) levels is observed. Acid brown forest soil in the subtropical zone is characterized by a medium supply with active organic matter. Most arable soils are mainly characterized by low or very low contents of active organic matter. In the upper layers of soils, active organic matter makes up 1.2–11.1% of total Corg. The profile distribution of active organic matter in the studied soils coincides with that of Corg: their contents appreciably decrease with depth, except for brown semidesert soil. The stocks of active organic matter vary from 0.4 to 5.4 t/ha in the layer of 0–20 cm and from 1.0 to 12.4/ha in the layer of 0–50 cm of different soil types. 相似文献

Land use choices differentially affect soil physical and biological properties. Tillage choices in particular affect soil erosion, the retention of soil organic matter, and the biological activity that organic matter supports. The present study evaluated the consequences of different cropping and tillage systems (undisturbed forest, coffee plantation, conventional, and no‐tillage row cropping) for soil microbial indicators and sulfur mineralization after 24 years of cropping on an Oxisol (Typic Haplorthox) in an experimental area at Londrina, Brazil. Soil samples were taken at 0–5, 5–10, and 10–20 cm depths and evaluated for microbial biomass P and S, S mineralization, and phosphatase and arylsulfatase activities. Land use affected microbial biomass P and S, and enzyme activity at all depths studied. The cultivated sites had lower values of microbial activity than the undisturbed forested site. Although the coffee site was not tilled and had high organic carbon content, there was low microbial activity, probably due to higher soil acidity and Al content. The estimates of pool stock for microbial P and annual P flux through the soil microbial biomass suggest that these pools are large enough to significantly affect plant nutrient availability. The greater microbial biomass and activity under forested and no‐tillage sites may be attributed, at least partially, to higher organic matter content. The soil microbial variables examined proved to be strong indicators of soil sustainability. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Soil in short-term crop rotation systems (STCR) is still in the initial development stage of farmland soil, whereas after long-term crop rotation treatment (LTCR), soil properties are significantly different. This study compares STCR (4 years) and LTCR (30 years) rice-rice-fallow, rice-rice-rape rotation practices under the same soil type background and management system. To reveal ecosystem mechanisms within soils and their effects on rice yield following LTCR, we analyzed the physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of soils with different rotations and rotation times. Relative to STCR, LTCR significantly reduced soil water-stable aggregate (WSA) content in the <?0.053-mm range, while >?2 mm WSA content significantly increased. Soil organic matter increased in fields under LTCR, mainly in >?2 mm, 2–0.25 mm, and <?0.053 mm soil WSA in 0–10 cm soil layer. LTCR was associated with significantly increased total soil organic matter, at the same time being associated with increasing the amount of active organic matter in the 0–20 cm soil layer. The two crop rotation regimes significantly differed in soil aggregate composition as well as in soil N and P, microbial biomass, and community composition. Relative to STCR, LTCR field soils had significantly higher soil organic matter, active organic matter content, soil enzyme activities, and overall microbial biomass, while soil WSA and microbial community composition was significantly different. Our results demonstrate that LTCR could significantly improve soil quality and rice yield and suggest that length of rotation time and rice-rice-rape rotation are critical factors for the development of green agriculture. 相似文献

A long-term experiment on combined inorganic fertilizers and organic matter in paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation began in May 1982 in Yamagata, northeastern Japan. In 2012, after the 31st harvest, soil samples were collected from five fertilizer treatments [(1) PK, (2) NPK, (3) NPK + 6 Mg ha?1 rice straw (RS), (4) NPK + 10 Mg ha?1 rice straw compost (CM1), and (5) NPK + 30 Mg ha?1 rice straw compost (CM3)], at five soil depths (0–5, 5–10, 10–15, 15–20 and 20–25 cm), to assess the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) content and carbon (C) decomposition potential, total nitrogen (TN) content and nitrogen (N) mineralization potential resulting from long-term organic matter addition. The C decomposition potential was assessed based on the methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) produced, while the N mineralization potential was determined from the potassium chloride (KCl)-extractable ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+-N), after 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of anaerobic incubation at 30°C in the laboratory. Compared to NPK treatment, SOC in the total 0–25 cm layer increased by 67.3, 21.0 and10.8%, and TN increased by 64.2, 19.7 and 10.6%, in CM3, RS and CM1, respectively, and SOC and TN showed a slight reduction in the PK treatment by 5.2 and 5.7%, respectively. Applying rice straw compost (10 Mg ha?1) instead of rice straw (6 Mg ha?1) to rice paddies reduced methane production by about 19% after the soils were measured under 8 weeks of anaerobic incubation at 30°C. Soil carbon decomposition potential (Co) and nitrogen mineralization potential (No) were highly correlated with the SOC and TN contents. The mean ratio of Co/No was 4.49, lower than the mean ratio of SOC/TN (13.49) for all treatments, which indicated that the easily decomposed organic matter was from soil microbial biomass and soil proteins. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Hot-water- and water-extractable organic matter were obtained from soil samples collected from a rice paddy 31 years after the start of a long-term rice experiment in Yamagata, Japan. Specifically, hot-water-extractable organic carbon and nitrogen (HWEOC and HWEON) were obtained by extraction at 80°C for 16 h, and water-extractable organic carbon and nitrogen (WEOC and WEON) were obtained by extraction at room temperature. The soil samples were collected from surface (0–15 cm) and subsurface (15–25 cm) layers of five plots that had been treated with inorganic fertilizers alone or with inorganic fertilizers plus organic matter, as follows: PK, NPK, NPK plus rice straw (RS), NPK plus rice straw compost (CM1), and NPK plus a high dose of rice straw compost (CM3). The soil/water ratio was 1:10 for both extraction temperatures. We found that the organic carbon and total nitrogen contents of the bulk soils were highly correlated with the extractable organic carbon and nitrogen contents regardless of extraction temperature, and the extractable organic carbon and nitrogen contents were higher in the plots that were treated with inorganic fertilizers plus organic matter than in the PK and NPK plots. The HWEOC and WEOC δ13C values ranged from ?28.2% to ?26.4% and were similar to the values for the applied rice straw and rice straw compost. There were no correlations between the HWEOC or WEOC δ13C values and the amounts of HWEOC or WEOC. The δ13C values of the bulk soils ranged from ?25.7% to ?23.2% and were lower for the RS and CM plots than for the PK and NPK plots. These results indicate that HWEOC and WEOC originated mainly from rice plants and the applied organic matter rather than from the indigenous soil organic matter. The significant positive correlations between the amounts of HWEOC and HWEON and the amount of available nitrogen (P < 0.001) imply that extractable organic matter can be used as an index for soil fertility in this long-term experiment. We concluded that the applied organic matter decomposed more rapidly than the indigenous soil organic matter and affected WEOC δ13C values and amounts. 相似文献

Relationships between climatic factors and C, N pools in particle-size fractions of steppe soils, Russia Many soils of the Russian steppe are characterized by high soil organic matter contents and similar parent material. Thus, they are suitable for investigations of a climatic impact on C and N pools. We sampled 10 topsoils of the zonal Russian steppe at 0–10 and about 50–60 cm depth intervals. After particle-size fractionation into clay (<2 μm), silt (2–20 μm), fine sand (20–250 μm) organic C and N concentrations were determined in bulk soils and fractions. The results suggest that especially the older organic matter of the subsoil (in the silt fraction) is correlated with climatic factors. Topsoils show less evidence for climatic influences on C and N pools. As the ratio of mean annual precipitation to potential evaporation (=N/V) increases, C/N ratios decrease in all fractions and, thus, in the bulk subsoil. Obviously the degree of soil organic matter alteration was more pronounced in the order Greyzem (N/V = 1.0) > Chernozem, Phaeozem (N/V = 0.89) > Haplic Kastanozem (N/V = 0.6) > Calcic (N/V = 0.34), and Gypsic Kastanozem (N/V = 0.32). The organic carbon contents of the bulk subsoil are highest in the subsoil of the Chernozem and Phaeozem, and decrease with increasing N/V ratio (i.e., increasing heat input and dryness) to the Calcic Kastanozem. This is accompanied by an increasing enrichment of organic carbon in the silt fractions (r = ?0.99 for the correlation of the C enrichment in silt with N/V). 相似文献

Purpose
The objective of this study was to determine the changes in the main soil chemical properties including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), available phosphorus (P), soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks after long-term (31 years) additions of two types of organic matters—rice straw and rice straw compost, combined with NPK fertilizers in single rice paddy in a cold temperate region of Japan.Materials and methods
A long-term experiment on combined inorganic fertilizers and organic matters in paddy rice cultivation began in May 1982 in Yamagata, northeastern Japan. After the 31st harvest, soil samples were collected from five treatments [(1) PK, (2) NPK, (3) NPK + 6 Mg ha?1 rice straw (RS), (4) NPK + 10 Mg ha?1 rice straw compost (CM1), and (5) NPK + 30 Mg ha?1 rice straw compost (CM3)] at five soil depths (0–5, 5–10, 10–15, 15–20, and 20–25 cm). Soil chemical properties of pH, EC, available P, SOC, and TN were analyzed.Results and discussion
The pH decreased significantly only at the higher compost rate of 30 Mg ha?1, while EC increased in all the organic matter treatments. Available P significantly increased in the CM1 and CM3 treatments by 55.1 and 86.4 %. The amounts of SOC stock increased by 67.2, 21.4, and 8.6 %, and soil TN stock by 64.1, 20.2, and 8.5 % in CM3, RS, and CM1, respectively, compared to NPK treatment.Conclusions
Significant changes in soil properties were observed after 31 years of organic matter applications with reference to PK- and NPK-fertilized rice paddy soils. A significant decrease in pH was observed with the application of a high rate (30 Mg ha?1) of rice straw compost but not with the conventional rate of 10 Mg ha?1. However, EC increased significantly relative to that of the PK- and NPK-fertilized plots in all the organic matter treatments. Available P significantly increased in the CM1 and CM3 treatments by 55.1 and 86.4 %. The amounts of SOC stock expressed as a percentage of total C applied to the soil were higher from 10 Mg ha?1 compost (28.7 %) than that from 6 Mg ha?1 rice straw (17.4 %), indicating a more effective soil organic C accumulation from rice straw compost than that from original rice straw.18.
Sediment porewaters were recovered by the membrane dialysis technique from Kejimkujik Lake and Mountain Lake in Nova Scotia and analyzed for pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total (acid soluble) aluminum, total reactive monomeric aluminum (TRM-Al), organic monomeric aluminum and inorganic monomeric aluminum. The results show that in the colored lake water (Kejimkujik), close to 100% of the TRM-Al fraction is bound to organic matter and that 10 to 60% of the total-Al is in the monomeric form. In the clearwater lake (Mountain), 50 to 65% of TRM-Al fraction is associated with organic matter and less than 4 to 5% of the Total-Al is in the monomeric form. The concentrations of reactive monomeric species in organic-rich porewaters decrease with time of storage due to the precipitation of organo-Al compounds. Model calculations using the porewater profiles for Al suggest that the sediment can be an important source of dissolved Al to the overlying water. 相似文献

Soil aggregation in relation to other soil properties was studied along a climatological transect in the Southeast of Spain. Three sites were selected along this transect ranging from semiarid to subhumid climatological conditions. The aggregate size distribution, the macro and microaggregate stability of the superficial soil horizon and their relations with other soil properties were analysed. Large aggregates (>10, 10–5, 5–2 mm) were present in highest proportions in the most arid of the studied areas. These large aggregates were associated with high values of water-stable microaggregates; however, they did not improve soil structure and are related to high bulk densities and low water retention. Aggregates 1–0.105 mm were positively correlated to medium, fine, very fine sand and silt fractions and to organic matter. Aggregates <0.105 mm were positively correlated to organic matter and clay content. Small aggregate sizes (1–0.105 and <0.105 mm) had a positive influence on soil water retention and they seem a good indicator of soil degradation.Water stability of microaggregates showed a positive correlation with clay content while the stability of the macroaggregates depended on the organic matter content when the organic matter content was greater than 5 or 6%. Below that threshold the carbonate content was strongly correlated with aggregate stability. A general conceptual scheme of associations between aggregate size distribution, water-stable microaggregation and textural characteristics for the area was developed.The land use history affecting soil overlaps the pattern of climatological situations and has to be taken into account. Aggregate size distribution and stability can be used as indicator of soil degradation, but not as a unique parameter. 相似文献

The activities of three extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, soil invertase, urease, and alkaline phosphatase (AlP), were measured across seasons and with the experimental addition of nitrogen (N) in the soil of the Gurbantunggut Desert, Northwest China. Seasonal fluctuations in hydrolytic enzyme activities were not correlated with seasonal variations in soil temperature, water content, pH, conductance, and organic carbon. Invertase and AlP activities increased with low rates of N addition, peaked at a N addition rate of 3.0 g N m?2 y?1, and then decreased at higher N addition rates. Urease activity decreased with increasing N addition. Higher organic matter content in the upper depths of soil resulted in higher hydrolytic enzyme activity at depths of 0–5 cm in soil samples and hydrolytic enzyme activity at that depth was more sensitive to N addition and seasonal environmental factors than that at depths of 5–10 cm in soil samples. 相似文献
