Decomposition of plant material influences soil aggregation dynamics in ways that are still poorly understood, especially for Oxisols, in which oxides are believed to play a dominant role. In an incubation experiment, we investigated (i) the effect of plant material addition from selected monocot and dicot species on soil organic C (SOC), carbohydrate composition, fungal and total microbial biomass, and aggregation of an Oxisol; and (ii) the relationship among these properties and C mineralization patterns. The experiment was carried out at 25 °C for 180 d after addition of 11 plant materials (4 g C kg-1 soil) and a control (no plant material added). Mineralization of C during the incubation was described considering two pools of C (labile and non-labile) using a first-order plus linear fitting. Compared to the control, corn materials showed larger pentose input, greater mineralization rates for the non-labile C pool (k), greater soil pentose content (xylose + arabinose) and larger mean weight diameter of soil water-stable aggregates at 180 d of incubation. These effects were independent of changes in SOC content, suggesting that total C accrual and macroaggregation may be decoupled processes in this Oxisol. Our results support the hypothesis that the non-labile plant C pool contributes to the long-lasting stability of macroaggregates of this Oxisol and that this effect is mediated by plant and soil pentoses. We propose that plant pentose content and the decomposition rate of the slow pool (k) are useful parameters for the prediction of plant effects on aggregation dynamics of Oxisols and the selection of soil conservation practices. © 2012.

Es ist bekannt, dass die Umsatzdynamik der organischen Substanz von der Bodenbearbeitungsintensität abhängt. Bis jetzt sind nur wenige Daten zum Einfluss der Bearbeitungsintensität und des Zwischenfruchtanbaus auf C-, N-, und P-Dynamik im Ober- (0-5 cm Tiefe) und Unterboden (5-25 cm Tiefe) von Lössböden verfügbar. Hauptziele dieser Arbeit waren die (i) Quantifizierung des Einflusses von verschiedenen langzeitig durchgeführten Bearbeitungssystemen auf labile, intermediäre, und passive C- und N-Pools; (ii) Quantifizierung des Einflusses dieser Systeme auf P-Fraktionen mit unterschiedlicher Verfügbarkeit für die Pflanzenaufnahme; (iii) Quantifizierung des Einflusses des Zwischenfruchtanbaus in Verbindung mit einer unterschiedlichen Einarbeitungstiefe der der Zwischenfrüchte auf mineralisierbares C und N. Die Ergebnisse des 1. und 2. Teilexperiments basieren auf Untersuchungen von 4 Langzeitfeldexperimenten (LFE) in Ost- und Süddeutschland, die zwischen 1990 und 1997 durch das Institut für Zuckerrübenforschung angelegt wurden. Jedes LFE umfasst 3 Bearbeitungssysteme: konventionelle Bearbeitung (CT), reduzierte Bearbeitung (RT) und Direktsaat (NT). Die Ergebnisse des 3. Teilexperiments basieren auf einem Inkubationsexperiment. Entsprechend den Hauptfragestellungen wurden folgende Untersuchungsergebnisse beschrieben: (i) Im Oberboden von NT wurden höhere labile C-Vorräte gefunden (C: 1.76 t ha-1, N: 166 kg ha-1), verglichen mit CT (C: 0.44 t ha-1, N: 52 kg ha-1). Im Gegensatz dazu waren die labile- C-Vorräte höher im Unterboden von CT mit 2.68 t ha-1 verglichen zu NT mit 2 t ha-1 und RT mit 1.87 t ha-1. Die intermediären C-Vorräte betrugen 73-85% der gesamten organischen C-Vorräte, intermediäre N-Vorräte betrugen 70-95% des Gesamt-N im Ober- und Unterboden und waren vielfach größer als die labilen und passiven C- und N-Vorräte. Nur im Oberboden konnte ein Effekt der Bearbeitungsintensität auf die intermediären N-Pools mit höheren Vorräten unter NT als CT festgestellt werden. Die passiven C- und N-Pools waren eng mit den mineralischen Bodeneigenschaften verbunden und unabhängig vom Bearbeitungssystem. Insgesamt hat sich gezeigt, dass 14 bis 22 Jahre durchgängige Direktsaatverfahren nur im Oberboden zu höheren labilen C- und N-Vorräten führen, verglichen zu konventionellen Systemen. Dies lässt eine tiefenabhängige Stärke der Dynamik der organischen Bodensubstanz vermuten. (ii) Die Konzentration des Gesamt-P (Pt) im Oberboden war höher in NT (792 mg kg-1) und ~15% höher als die Pt-Konzentration in CT (691 mg kg 1). Die Abnahme der Pt-Konzentration mit zunehmender Bodentiefe war höher in NT als in CT. Dies gilt auch für die einzelnen P-Fraktionen, ausgenommen der stabilsten P-Fraktion (residual-P). Generell hatte das Bearbeitungssystem nur einen kleinen Einfluss auf die P-Konzentration mit höheren Pt-Konzentrationen in Böden unter NT als CT. Dies resultiert vermutlich aus der flacheren Einarbeitung der Pflanzenreste als in CT. (iii) Im Zwischenfruchtexperiment war der Biomassezuwachs von Senf am höchsten und nimmt in der Reihenfolge ab (oberirdischer Ertrag in t / ha): Senf (7.0 t ha-1) > Phacelia (5.7 t ha-1) > Ölrettich (4.4 t ha-1). Damit war potentiell mineralisierbares C und N am höchsten in Böden mit Senfbewuchs. Kumulative CO2- und N2O-Emissionen während der Inkubation unterschieden sich nicht signifikant zwischen den Zwischenfruchtvarianten und waren unabhängig von der Verteilung der Pflanzenreste im Boden. Die kumulativen ausgewaschenen mineralisierten N (Nmin)-Vorräte waren in den brachliegenden Böden am höchsten. Die Nmin-Vorräte waren 51-72% niedriger in den Varianten mit Zwischenfrucht und Einarbeitung verglichen zur Brache. In den Varianten ohne Einarbeitung waren die Nmin-Vorräte 36-55% niedriger verglichen zur Brache. Dies weißt auf einen deutlichen Beitrag von Zwischenfrüchten zur Reduzierung von Nitrat-Auswaschung zwischen Winter und Frühjahr hin. Insgesamt führte reduzierte Bearbeitung zu einer Sequestrierung von C und N im Boden und der Zwischenfruchtanbau führte zu reduzierten N-Verlusten. Die P-Verfügbarkeit war höher unter Direktsaat verglichen zur konventionellen Bearbeitung. Diese Ergebnisse resultieren aus den höheren Konzentrationen der OS in den reduzierten, als in den konventionellen Systemen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich das Potential von reduzierter Bearbeitung zur Sequestrierung von intermediärem C und N zur Reduzierung von klimarelevanten Treibhausgasen. Gleichzeitig steigen die Konzentrationen an pflanzenverfügaren P-Gehalten. Zwischenfrüchte führen auch zu einem Anstieg der C- und N-Vorräte im Boden, offensichtlich unabhängig von der Zwischenfruchtart.

Accumulation of an intracellular pool of carbon (C(i) pool) is one strategy by which marine algae overcome the low abundance of dissolved CO2 (CO2 (aq) ) in modern seawater. To identify the environmental conditions under which algae accumulate an acid-labile C(i) pool, we applied a (14) C pulse-chase method, used originally in dinoflagellates, to two new classes of algae, coccolithophorids and diatoms. This method measures the carbon accumulation inside the cells without altering the medium carbon chemistry or culture cell density. We found that the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii [(Grunow) G. Fryxell & Hasle] and a calcifying strain of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi [(Lohmann) W. W. Hay & H. P. Mohler] develop significant acid-labile C(i) pools. C(i) pools are measureable in cells cultured in media with 2-30 µmol/l CO2 (aq), corresponding to a medium pH of 8.6-7.9. The absolute C(i) pool was greater for the larger celled diatoms. For both algal classes, the C(i) pool became a negligible contributor to photosynthesis once CO2 (aq) exceeded 30 µmol/l. Combining the (14) C pulse-chase method and (14) C disequilibrium method enabled us to assess whether E. huxleyi and T. weissflogii exhibited thresholds for foregoing accumulation of DIC or reduced the reliance on bicarbonate uptake with increasing CO2 (aq) . We showed that the C(i) pool decreases with higher CO2 :HCO3 (-) uptake rates.

Forty-four soils from under native vegetation and a range of management practices following clearing were analysed for ‘labile’ organic carbon (OC) using both the particulate organic carbon (POC) and the 333 mm KmnO4 (MnoxC) methods. Although there was some correlation between the 2 methods, the POC method was more sensitive by about a factor of 2 to rapid loss in OC as a result of management or land-use change. Unlike the POC method, the MnoxC method was insensitive to rapid gains in TOC following establishment of pasture on degraded soil. The MnoxC method was shown to be particularly sensitive to the presence of lignin or lignin-like compounds and therefore is likely to be very sensitive to the nature of the vegetation present at or near the time of sampling and explains the insensitivity of this method to OC gain under pasture. The presence of charcoal is an issue with both techniques, but whereas the charcoal contribution to the POC fraction can be assessed, the MnoxC method cannot distinguish between charcoal and most biomolecules found in soil. Because of these limitations, the MnoxC method should not be applied indiscriminately across different soil types and management practices.

An increasing number of empirical studies are challenging the central fundamentals on which the classical soil food web model is built. This model assumes that bacteria consume labile substrates twice as fast as fungi, and that mycorrhizal fungi do not decompose organic matter. Here, we build on emerging evidence that points to significant consumption of labile C by fungi, and to the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to decompose organic matter, to show that labile C constitutes a major and presently underrated source of C for the soil food web. We use a simple model describing the dynamics of a recalcitrant and a labile C pool and their consumption by fungi and bacteria to show that fungal and bacterial populations can coexist in a stable state with large inputs into the labile C pool and a high fungal use of labile C. We propose a new conceptual model for the bottom trophic level of the soil food web, with organic C consisting of a continuous pool rather than two or three distinct pools, and saprotrophic fungi using substantial amounts of labile C. Incorporation of these concepts will increase our understanding of soil food web dynamics and functioning under changing conditions.

Soil C decomposition is sensitive to changes in temperature, and even small increases in temperature may prompt large releases of C from soils. But much of what we know about soil C responses to global change is based on short-term incubation data and model output that implicitly assumes soil C pools are composed of organic matter fractions with uniform temperature sensitivities. In contrast, kinetic theory based on chemical reactions suggests that older, more-resistant C fractions may be more temperature sensitive. Recent research on the subject is inconclusive, indicating that the temperature sensitivity of labile soil organic matter (OM) decomposition could either be greater than, less than, or equivalent to that of resistant soil OM. We incubated soils at constant temperature to deplete them of labile soil OM and then successively assessed the CO2-C efflux in response to warming. We found that the decomposition response to experimental warming early during soil incubation (when more labile C remained) was less than that later when labile C was depleted. These results suggest that the temperature sensitivity of resistant soil OM pools is greater than that for labile soil OM and that global change-driven soil C losses may be greater than previously estimated.

As the cost of mineral fertilisers increases globally, organic soil amendments (OAs) from agricultural sources are increasingly being used as substitutes for nitrogen. However, the impact of OAs on the production of greenhouse gases (CO2 and N2O) is not well understood. A 60-day laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to investigate the impacts of applying OAs (equivalent to 296 kg N ha−1 on average) on N2O and CO2 emissions and soil properties of clay and sandy loam soils from sugar cane production. The experiment included 6 treatments, one being an un-amended (UN) control with addition of five OAs being raw mill mud (MM), composted mill mud (CM), high N compost (HC), rice husk biochar (RB), and raw mill mud plus rice husk biochar (MB). These OAs were incubated at 60, 75 and 90% water-filled pore space (WFPS) at 25°C with urea (equivalent to 200 kg N ha−1) added to the soils thirty days after the incubation commenced. Results showed WFPS did not influence CO2 emissions over the 60 days but the magnitude of emissions as a proportion of C applied was RB < CM < MB < HC cantly less in the clay soil compared to the sandy loam at all WFPS, and could be ranked RB CM < UN < HC. These results led to linear models being developed to predict CO2 and N2O emissions as a function of the dry matter and C/N ratio of the OAs, WFPS, and the soil CEC. Application of RB reduced N2O emissions by as much as 42-64% depending on WFPS. The reductions in both CO2 and N2O emissions after application of RB were due to a reduced bioavailability of C and not immobilisation of N. These findings show that the effect of OAs on soil GHG emissions can vary substantially depending on their chemical properties. OAs with a high availability of labile C and N can lead to elevated emissions of CO2 and N2O, while rice husk biochar showed potential in reducing overall soil GHG emissions.

To improve the sustainability and environmental accountability of the banana industry there is a need to develop a set of soil health indicators that integrate physical, chemical and biological soil properties. These indicators would allow banana growers, extension and research workers to improve soil health management practices. To determine changes in soil properties due to the cultivation of bananas, a paired site survey was conducted comparing soil properties under conventional banana systems to less intensively managed vegetation systems, such as pastures and forest. Measurements were made on physical, chemical and biological soil properties at seven locations in tropical and sub-tropical banana producing areas. Soil nematode community composition was used as a bioindicator of the biological properties of the soil. Soils under conventional banana production tended to have a greater soil bulk density, with less soil organic carbon (C) (both total C and labile C), greater exchangeable cations, higher extractable P, greater numbers of plant-parasitic nematodes and less nematode diversity, relative to less intensively managed plant systems. The organic banana production systems at two locations had greater labile C, relative to conventional banana systems, but there was no significant change in nematode community composition. There were significant interactions between physical, chemical and nematode community measurements in the soil, particularly with soil C measurements, confirming the need for a holistic set of indicators to aid soil management. There was no single indicator of soil health for the Australian banana industry, but a set of soil health indicators, which would allow the measurement of soil improvements should include: bulk density, soil C, pH, EC, total N, extractable P, ECEC and soil nematode community structure.

Northern peatlands are thought to store one third of all soil carbon (C). Besides the C sink function, peatlands are one of the largest natural sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Climate change may affect the C gas dynamics as well as the labile C pool. Because the peatland C sequestration and CH4 emissions are governed by high water levels, changes in hydrology are seen as the driving factor in peatland ecosystem change. This study aimed to quantify the carbon dioxide (CO2) and CH4 dynamics of a fen ecosystem at different spatial scales: plant community components scale, plant community scale and ecosystem scale, under hydrologically normal and water level drawdown conditions. C gas exchange was measured in two fens in southern Finland applying static chamber and eddy covariance techniques. During hydrologically normal conditions, the ecosystem was a CO2 sink and CH4 source to the atmosphere. Sphagnum mosses and sedges were the most important contributors to the community photosynthesis. The presence of sedges had a major positive impact on CH4 emissions while dwarf shrubs had a slightly attenuating impact. C fluxes varied considerably between the plant communities. Therefore, their proportions determined the ecosystem scale fluxes. An experimental water level drawdown markedly reduced the photosynthesis and respiration of sedges and Sphagnum mosses and benefited shrubs. Consequently, changes were smaller at the ecosystem scale than at the plant group scale. The decrease in photosynthesis and the increase in respiration, mostly peat respiration, made the fen a smaller CO2 sink. CH4 fluxes were significantly lowered, close to zero. The impact of natural droughts was similar to, although more modest than, the impact of the experimental water level drawdown. The results are applicable to the short term impacts of the water level drawdown and to climatic conditions in which droughts become more frequent.

The temperature sensitivity of decomposition of different soil organic matter (SOM) fractions was studied with laboratory incubations using 13C and 14C isotopes to differentiate between SOM of different age. The quality of SOM and the functionality and composition of microbial communities in soils formed under different climatic conditions were also studied. Transferring of organic layers from a colder to a warmer climate was used to assess how changing climate, litter input and soil biology will affect soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity. Together, these studies gave a consistent picture on how warming climate will affect the decomposition of different SOM fractions in Finnish forest soils: the most labile C was least temperature sensitive, indicating that it is utilized irrespective of temperature. The decomposition of intermediate C, with mean residence times from some years to decades, was found to be highly temperature sensitive. Even older, centennially cycling C was again less temperature sensitive, indicating that different stabilizing mechanisms were limiting its decomposition even at higher temperatures. Because the highly temperature sensitive, decadally cycling C, forms a major part of SOM stock in the organic layers of the studied forest soils, these results mean that these soils could lose more carbon during the coming years and decades than estimated earlier. SOM decomposition in boreal forest soils is likely to increase more in response to climate warming, compared to temperate or tropical soils, also because the Q10 is temperature dependent. In the northern soils the warming will occur at a lower temperature range, where Q10 is higher, and a similar increase in temperature causes a higher relative increase in respiration rates. The Q10 at low temperatures was found to be inversely related to SOM quality. At higher temperatures respiration was increasingly limited by low substrate availability.

Alternative sources of N are required to bolster subtropical cereal production without increasing N2O emissions from these agro-ecosystems. The reintroduction of legumes in cereal cropping systems is a possible strategy to reduce synthetic N inputs but elevated N2O losses have sometimes been observed after the incorporation of legume residues. However, the magnitude of these losses is highly dependent on local conditions and very little data are available for subtropical regions. The aim of this study was to assess whether, under subtropical conditions, the N mineralised from legume residues can substantially decrease the synthetic N input required by the subsequent cereal crop and reduce overall N2O emissions during the cereal cropping phase. Using a fully automated measuring system, N2O emissions were monitored in a cereal crop (sorghum) following a legume pasture and compared to the same crop in rotation with a grass pasture. Each crop rotation included a nil and a fertilised treatment to assess the N availability of the residues. The incorporation of legumes provided enough readily available N to effectively support crop development but the low labile C left by these residues is likely to have limited denitrification and therefore N2O emissions. As a result, N2O emissions intensities (kgN2O-N yield-1ha-1) were considerably lower in the legume histories than in the grass. Overall, these findings indicate that the C supplied by the crop residue can be more important than the soil NO3 - content in stimulating denitrification and that introducing a legume pasture in a subtropical cereal cropping system is a sustainable practice from both environmental and agronomic perspectives.

本文采用野外观测和室内测定相结合的方法,研究了内蒙古草原两种主要的土地利用方式(开垦和放牧)对土壤碳库和温室气体通量的影响,结果如下: 1.内蒙古草甸草原开垦后30年后,与天然草原相比,在休闲年份0~20 cm土壤有机碳和土壤微生物量碳含量均没有显著下降,但开垦导致土壤易分解碳下降了24%。土壤易氧化碳受季节性水热因子的驱动,表现出明显的季节变化动态。因此,土壤易分解碳的较土壤碳库的其他组分对开垦更敏感,是表征土壤管理措施引起有机质变化的一个重要指标。 草原开垦后,土壤-植物系统氧化大气甲烷的能力明显提高,农田和天然草原CH4平均吸收通量分别是48.9 和 29.0 μg C m-2 h-1,开垦后增加了1.7倍。开垦没有改变CH4吸收通量 “夏季高秋季低” 的季节变化规律(由降水决定);开垦使N2O的平均释放通量增加了47%,农田和天然草原N2O平均吸收通量分别是56.6 和 38.6 ugN m-2 h-1;开垦同时也增大了通量的变异幅度;但没有改变N2O季节变化规律,只是出现高峰的时间较天然草原推后约10天左右。 2.开垦后的农田土壤在模拟添加厩肥后,刺激了土壤微生物的呼吸代谢,使CO2的释放量增加了5-7倍。试验期间总体排放的CO2中,约60%来源于羊粪,40% 来源于土壤。两种土壤即羊草顶级草原土壤(高碳高氮)和冷蒿-小禾草退化草原土壤(低碳低氮),在CO2的释放总量和释放比例上都没有显著性差异。添加厩肥均造成两种土壤碳库的净碳损失,并且退化草原土壤(7.0%)的土壤净碳损失要大于羊草草原(2.6%)。说明与开垦后的高C土壤相比,在已经退化草原的低C土壤上施厩肥将趋向于土壤更大的净碳损失。 3.自由放牧22年后,羊草草原0~10 cm土壤有机碳、微生物量碳和易分解碳分别下降了14.1%、27.9%和22.0%;大针茅草原0~5 cm土壤有机碳和微生物量碳分别下降了27.6%和38.2%。两类草原土壤碳组分的季节变化受水热因子的驱动,大针茅草原季节波动出现高峰的时间较羊草草原迟。土壤微生物量碳在表征羊草草原和大针茅草原土壤碳素的动态变化时,要敏感于土壤总有机碳。放牧对冷蒿-小禾草草原土壤各碳素组分影响不明显。在表征放牧对冷蒿-小禾草草原土壤的影响指示上,MB-C/ Org-C和Lab-C/ Org-C要比MB-C和Lab-C更加敏感。这说明在研究放牧对草原土壤碳库影响时,不同的草原类型应使用不同的指标来表征其变化。 内蒙古羊草草原是大气CH4的汇,自由放牧增加土壤对CH4的吸收。CH4平均吸收通量增加了27%,但CH4吸收的季节变化形式没有改变;放牧使。自由放牧还增大了N2O的排放通量,将原来N2O源、汇的双重功能改变为单一的源功能;放牧使N2O平均释放通量增加了1倍;放牧显著增加了羊草草原向大气排放CO2的量(p<0.05),并且年度排放量范围也有所增大。 4.草原羊尿斑土壤的pH和NH4+浓度在施后显著升高,但土壤微生物C和N没有明显变化,尿斑N素会发生大量的流失。粪斑和厩肥斑中各有46%和27%的N素分解后转移到植物中。羊草种群斑块上粪尿斑引起CO2和N2O通量的变化,要大于星毛委陵菜种群斑块。与植被类型的影响相比,羊粪尿斑尤其是尿斑对温室气体通量的影响更大。尿斑既降低了土壤对CH4的吸收,又增加了CO2和N2O的释放,使粪尿斑上相当于CO2的净排放量比对照土壤增加了15%。 在内蒙古草原中等放牧条件下,家畜粪尿斑在放牧草地上的覆盖面积约只有2%,与未被家畜排泄物覆盖的草原土壤 相比,粪尿斑对内蒙古草原温室气体总体收支产生的影响可以忽略不计。因此内蒙古草原地区温室气体减排措施的重点,应放在家畜的食性食量对温室气体的影响以及厩肥的科学利用上。但随放牧强度的加大,家畜排泄物覆盖草地的面积将大大增加,加之放牧生态系统中家畜瘤胃代谢产生的的大量温室气体,其对草原温室气体的核算将会产生的影响也是不容忽视的。

High levels of available nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) have the potential to increase soil N and C mineralization We hypothesized that with an external labile C or N supply alpine meadow soil will have a significantly higher C mineralization potential and that temperature sensitivity of C mineralization will increase To test the hypotheses an incubation experiment was conducted with two doses of N or C supply at temperature of 5 15 and 25 C Results showed external N supply had no significant effect on CO2 emission However external C supply increased CO2 emission Temperature coefficient (Q(10)) ranged from 113 to 1 29 Significantly higher values were measured with C than with N addition and control treatment Temperature dependence of C mineralization was well-represented by exponential functions Under the control CO2 efflux rate was 425 g CO2-Cm-2 year(-1) comparable to the in situ measurement of 422 g CO2-Cm-2 year(-1) We demonstrated if N is disregarded microbial decomposition is primarily limited by lack of labile C It is predicted that labile C supply would further increase CO2 efflux from the alpine meadow soil (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS All rights reserved
