The aim of this study was to evaluate chemical changes in soil organic matter (SOM) in organically and conventionally managed fields, using pyrolytic indices and the extraction of different carbon fractions. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC) was used to study structural changes in SOM, whereas the different soil extractions gave a fractionation of C forms. Organic management increased both humic and labile C forms (microbial biomass C and water soluble organic C). A significant positive relationship was found between the living SOM fraction, expressed as microbial biomass/total organic C ratio (MBC/TOC) and humification rate. A negative relationship was found between the pyrrole to phenol ratio (O/Y) and total extractable C (TEC).An opposite trend has been observed for the second pyrolytic index (N/O), which represents the mineralization of fresh organic matter. Mineralization was higher in organically managed soil, probably because of consistent input of fresh material to the organic field. Carbon fraction pools and pyrolytic indices provided complementary indications of SOM quality under organic and conventional management. 相似文献

One of the main advantages of using biochar for agricultural purposes is its ability to store carbon (C) in soil for a long-term. Studies of labile and stable fractions of soil organic matter (SOM) may be a good indicator of the dynamics of biochar in soils. This study evaluated the effects of applying sewage sludge biochar (SSB) in combination with mineral fertilizer on fractions of SOM. To conduct this evaluation, 15 Mg ha ?1 of SSB combined or not with mineral fertilizer (NPK) was applied to the soil in two cropping seasons. Apart from total organic C (TOC), the labile and stable fractions of SOM were also determined. The combined use of SSB and NPK resulted in higher TOC, a 22% to 40% increase compared to the control and to the NPK treatments, respectively. The SSB produced at a lower temperature increased the labile fractions of SOM, especially the microbial biomass C, showing its capacity to supply nutrients in the short-term. The stable pools of SOM are increased after adding SSB produced at a higher temperature. It was concluded that pyrolysis temperature is a key-factor that determines the potential of SSB to accumulate C in labile and stable fractions of SOM. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of land‐use and forest cover depletion on the distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) within particle‐size fractions in a volcanic soil. Emphasis was given to the thermal properties of soils. Six representative sites in Mexico were selected in an area dominated by Andosols: a grassland site, four forested sites with different levels of degradation and an agricultural site. Soils were fractionated using ultrasonic energy until complete dispersion was achieved. The particle‐size fractions were coarse sand, fine sand, silt, clay and particulate organic matter from the coarse sand sized fraction (POM‐CS) and fine sand (POM‐FS). Soil organic carbon decreased by 70% after forest conversion to cropland and long‐term cultivation; forest cover loss resulted in a decrease in SOC of up to 60%. The grassland soil contained 45% more SOC than the cropland one. Soil organic carbon was mainly associated with the silt‐size fraction; the most sensitive fractions to land‐use change and forest cover depletion were POM followed by SOC associated with the silt and clay‐sized fractions. Particulate organic matter can be used as an early indicator of SOC loss. The C lost from the clay and silt‐sized fractions was thermally labile; therefore, the SOC stored in the more degraded forest soils was more recalcitrant (thermally resistant). Only the transformation of forest to agricultural land produced a similar loss of thermally stable C associated with the silt‐sized fraction. 相似文献

Conversion of natural forest to agricultural land use has significantly lowered the soil organic matter (SOM) content in sandy soils of northeast Thailand. This paper reviews the findings of comparative studies on contents of SOM pools (labile, i.e. microbial biomass and particulate organic matter—POM and stable, i.e. humic substance) and related soil aggregate formation, in natural forest plots and cultivated fields (monocrops of cassava, sugarcane and rice) in sites representative of northeast Thailand from the viewpoints of terrain (i.e. undulating), soils (sandy) and land use and discusses the restoration of SOM and fertility (nitrogen) in these degraded soils. Monocultural agriculture brings about the degradation of all SOM pools and associated soil aggregation as compared to the forest system because of decreased organic inputs and more frequent soil disturbance. The build‐up of SOM was achieved through the continuous recycling of organic residues produced within the system. Low‐quality residues contributed the largest SOM build‐up in whole and fractionated SOM pools, including POM and humic substance. However, to restore N fertility, high quality residues, (i.e. with low C/N ratios, lignin and polyphenols) were also needed. Timing of N release to meet crop demand was achieved by employing a mixture of high and low quality residues. Selection of appropriate residues for N sources was affected by environmental factors, notably soil moisture regimes, which differed in upland field and lowland paddy subsystems.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to examine the usefulness of physical and chemical fractionation in quantifying soil organic matter (SOM) in different stabilized fraction pools. Soil samples from three land use types in Lorestan province, Southwest Iran were examined to account for the amount of organic carbon and nitrogen in different SOM fractions. Size/density separation and chemical oxidation methods were applied to separate the SOM fractions including particulate organic matter (POM), Si + C (silt and clay), DOC (dissolved organic C), rSOM (oxidation-resistant organic carbon and nitrogen) and S + SA (sand and stable aggregates). The values obtained for TOC, TN, and HWC were highest in forest lands followed by the range and agricultural lands. Among the SOM fractions, S + SA showed the highest values (5.75, 5.77 and 20.6 g kg ?1 for agriculture, range and forest lands respectively) followed by POM, Si + C, rSOM, and DOC. The concentrations of C and N in the labile fractions obtained the higher values than in the stabilized fractions. Forest lands had the highest amounts of organic C and N among all fractions whereas agricultural lands showed highest values for inorganic C content of soils in different fractions. 相似文献

Abstract The knowledge of soil organic matter (SOM) composition is important for research in soil science. This is why two classical wet chemical extraction procedures were tested and combined to characterize SOM. Twenty‐five samples from typical forest and arable soils in Schleswig‐Holstein, Northwest Germany, were investigated in the laboratory. Lipids were extracted using a pre‐step method. Several polysaccharide fractions were extracted sucessively with inorganic acids in a litter compound analysis (LCA). Proteins and lignins were determined in the bulk soil sample. In a humic compound analysis (HCA), fulvic and humic acids were extracted in the classical way with NaOH, and the non‐humic substances were removed with the aid of the “Sulfacetolysis” from the residues (= usually “humins")‐ The combination of these two wet chemical extraction proce dures (LCA and HCA) permitted quantitative estimations of the SOM composition in several soil horizons. The LCA method produced a better recovery rate (104%±4%) than the HCA methode (95%±15%). The litter compound/humic compound ratio of both analyses, and the combination of both correlated with visible humification grades in a significant way (r = ‐0.733 to ‐0.742***). LCA may be sufficient for solving special pedogenetic problems, because of its high recovery rate and the strong correlation between LCA and HCA. 相似文献

In the present paper new findings in soil organic matter (SOM) research were reviewed with regard to non-aromatic species in order to make evident the recent conception about the chemical nature of humic matter structure. The main purpose of this paper was to unravel the manifold information of SOM investigations in order to characterize the classical humic matter fractions (fulvic acids, humic acids, humins) and bulk soil samples. Such common state-of-the-art information is missing in current SOM literature. In addition we focus on improvements in SOM research due to the application of the new instrumental methods such as NMR and pyrolysis-MS and its problems of analysis. 相似文献

Increasing cropping intensity (i.e. number of crops per year) of irrigated rice seems to cause an accumulation of phenolic compounds in the soil organic matter (SOM). We have studied the chemical nature of SOM in a broad range of soil types at different sites with long-term double- and triple-crop irrigated rice trials. Accumulation of phenols, as measured by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, was found in both the mobile humic acid (MHA) and calcium humate (CaHA) fractions at all sites, regardless of soil type, hydrology during the fallow, and with and without inorganic fertilizer or green manures. Although phenols accumulated consistently in MHA and CaHA, the C, N and hydrolysable amino acid concentrations, degree of humification and amounts of MHA and CaHA were significantly altered by crop management, and they varied from site to site. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that the accumulation of phenols is a characteristic of the anaerobic, or nearly anaerobic, soil conditions that exist at the initial stages of SOM formation in submerged irrigated rice soils. By contrast, other SOM properties are additionally influenced by soil conditions that govern the degradation and turnover of existing SOM. The chemical properties of MHA and CaHA indicated that they are labile, and the quantities of these HA fractions were more sensitive to recent management than were total soil C or N. 相似文献

Effects of cropping systems on soil organic matter (SOM) in a pair of conventional and biodynamic mixed cropping farms were
investigated. Soil samples (0–75 and 75–150-mm depths) were analysed for total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), microbial
biomass C (BC) and microbial biomass N (BN), and sequentially extracted for labile and stable SOM using cold water, hot water,
acid mixtures and alkalis. In the biodynamic farm, TC and TN decreased with increasing period of cropping but the reverse
occurred under pastures. These were not shown in soils from the conventional farm, probably due to N fertilizer additions.
Under pastures, increases in SOM were attributed to greater biological N 2 fixation and the return of plant residues and excreta from grazing animals. Overall, sensitive SOM quality indicators found
for labile SOM were BN, BN:TN and HC:TC, and for stable SOM were HCl/HFC, HCl/HFC:TC, humin C, humin N, humin C:TC and humin
N:TN. The BN and BN:TN were better indicators than BC and BC:TC. The humin fraction was strongly related to both labile and
stable SOM fractions suggesting that humin contained non-extractable strongly complexed SOM components with mineral matter
and also non-extractable plant and microbial residual components.

Although acid soils are common in forest ecosystems, and there is documented evidence of pH influencing transformations of organic matter in soil, there are surprisingly few studies on the influence of soil pH on the chemical structure of physically fractionated soil organic matter (SOM). The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of pH on the chemical and physical processes involved in SOM stabilization. Forest soils of different pH (4.4 and 7.8) sampled from two long‐term experiments at Rothamsted Research (UK) were physically fractionated. The free light fraction (FLF), the intra‐aggregate light fraction and the fine silt and clay (S + C, <25 µm) were characterized using elemental, isotopic ( δ13C), thermogravimetric, differential thermal, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and high‐resolution magic angle spinning 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. The quantitative distribution of carbon (C) between SOM fractions differed between the two soils. Carbon contents in the light fractions from the acid soil were significantly greater than in those of the alkaline soil. In contrast, in S + C fractions, C content was greater in the alkaline soil. FLF from the acid soil was characterized by a greater C:N ratio, smaller δ13C and greater content of thermo‐labile compounds compared with FLF from the alkaline soil. In contrast, there was only a weak effect of soil pH on the chemical composition of the organic matter in S + C fractions. Irrespective of soil pH, these latter fractions contained mainly aliphatic compounds such as carbohydrates, carboxylic acid, amide and peptide derivates. This suggested that physical mechanisms, involving the interactions between SOM and mineral surfaces, are of greater importance than the presence of chemically recalcitrant species in protecting SOM associated with the finest soil fractions. 相似文献

Montane volcanic ash soils contain disproportionate amounts of soil organic carbon and thereby play an often underestimated role in the global carbon cycle.Given the central role of Al and Fe in stabilizing organic matter in volcanic ash soils,we assessed various extraction methods of Al,Fe,and C fractions from montane volcanic ash soils in northern Ecuador,aiming at elucidating the role of Al and Fe in stabilizing soil organic matter(SOM).We found extractions with cold sodium hydroxide,ammonium oxalate/oxalic acid,sodium pyrophosphate,and sodium tetraborate to be particularly useful.Combination of these methods yielded information about the role of the mineral phase in stabilizing organic matter and the differences in type and degree of complexation of organic matter with Al and Fe in the various horizons and soil profiles.Sodium tetraborate extraction proved the only soft extraction method that yielded simultaneous information about the Al,Fe,and C fractions extracted.It also appeared to differentiate between SOM fractions of different stability.The fractions of copper chloride-and potassium chloride-extractable Al were useful in assessing the total reactive and toxic Al fractions,respectively.The classical subdivision of organic matter into humic acids,fulvic acids,and humin added little useful information.The use of fulvic acids as a proxy for mobile organic matter as done in several model-based approaches seems invalid in the soils studied. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Sugarcane is a strategic commodity in Indonesia. It is usually raised in a monoculture system. There is a lack of information about the effects of extended sugarcane monoculture on the soil carbon fraction. The aim of this study was to determine the relative changes in the soil organic C fractions in response to the duration of sugarcane monoculture on Entisols, Inceptisols, and Vertisols. The measured variables were the percentages of sand, silt, and clay, organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), pH (H 2O), cation exchange capacity (CEC), NH 4 +, NO 3 -, labile carbon fraction (soil carbon mineralization (C-Min), soil microbial carbon (C-Mic), and carbon particulate organic matter (C-POM)), and stable carbon fraction (humic and fulvic acids). Soil type with sugarcane monoculture period had significant influences on the percentages of clay, sand, silt, CEC, and pH (H 2O). Soil type and sugarcane monoculture period had no apparent significant effect on C-Min or C-POM but did significantly influence C-Mic. The humic and fulvic acid levels in all three soil types were affected by the duration of sugarcane monoculture. To establish the impact of long-term sugarcane monoculture on the physicochemical properties of soils with various textures, it is more appropriate to measure the soil stable carbon fractions such as humic and fulvic acid rather than the soil labile carbon fractions such as C-Min, C-POM, or C-Mic. 相似文献

Quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) affect physical, chemical, and biological soil properties, and are pivotal to productive and healthy grasslands. Thus, we analyzed the distribution of soil aggregates and assessed quality, quantity, and distribution of SOM in two unimproved and improved (two organic and two conventional) grasslands in subarctic Iceland, in Haplic and Histic Andosols. We also evaluated principal physicochemical and biological soil properties, which influence soil aggregation and SOM dynamics. Macroaggregates (>250 µm) in topsoils were most prominent in unimproved (62–77%) and organically (58–69%) managed sites, whereas 20–250 µm aggregates were the most prominent in conventionally managed sites (51–53%). Macroaggregate stability in topsoils, measured as mean weight diameter, was approximately twice as high in organically managed (12–20 mm) compared with the conventionally managed (5–8 mm) sites, possibly due to higher organic inputs (e.g., manure, compost, and cattle urine). In unimproved grasslands and one organic site, macroaggregates contributed between 40% and 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen to bulk soil, whereas in high SOM concentration sites free particulate organic matter contributed up to 70% of the SOC and nitrogen to bulk soil. Aggregate hierarchy in Haplic Andosols was confirmed by different stabilizing mechanisms of micro- and macroaggregates, however, somewhat diminished by oxides (pyrophosphate-, oxalate-, and dithionite-extractable Fe, Al, and Mn) acting as binding agents for macroaggregates. In Histic Andosols, no aggregate hierarchy was observed. The higher macroaggregate stability in organic farming practice compared with conventional farming is of interest due to the importance of macroaggregates in protecting SOM and soils from erosion, which is a prerequisite for soil functions in grasslands that are envisaged for food production in the future. 相似文献

Abstract Total organic P, humic and fulvic acid‐P associations and inositol phosphates in nine volcanic soils of southern Chile were determined. The concentration of organic P (Po) ranged from 654 to 1942 ppm accounting for 49% to 64% of total soil P. Phosphorus associated to humic (HA‐P) and fulvic acids (FA‐P) accounted for 51–68% and 32–49% of Po, respectively. Inositol penta‐ and hexaphosphates represented 42% to 67% of Po suggesting that significant amounts are associated with both humic and fulvic acids. Po content was significantly correlated to organic C, total soil P and HA‐P. HA‐P and FA‐P fractions obtained from the most representative soil were examined by dyalisis and gel filtration. While approximately 96% of HA‐P presented a molecular weight higher than 100,000 daltons, 53% of FA‐P had a molecular weight under 12,000 daltons. It is suggested that these more labile organic P forms would be more easily mineralized, thus increasing the available P pool. 相似文献

Several studies have reported how tillage and cropping systems affect quantity, quality, and distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) along the profile. However, the effect of soil management on the chemical structure of SOM and on its hydrophobic and hydrophilic components has been little investigated. In this work, the long‐term (19 years) effects of two cropping systems (wheat monoculture and wheat/faba bean rotation) and three tillage managements (conventional, reduced, and no tillage) on some chemical characteristics of SOM and their relationships with labile carbon (C) pools were evaluated. Soil samples were taken from the topsoil (0–15 cm) of a Chromic Haploxerert (central Sicily, Italy). After 19 years of different tillage and cropping systems management, total organic C significantly differed among treatments with the labile organic C pools showing the greater amount in no till and in wheat/faba bean plots. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of SOM, determined by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, were mainly affected by cropping system, whereas aromatic components of SOM by tillage. Soil organic matter components and characteristics showed significant correlations with the soil biochemical parameters, confirming the expected synergism between chemical and biochemical properties. This study demonstrated that (i) no tillage and crop rotation improve the chemical and biochemical properties of SOM of Vertisols under semiarid environment; and (ii) tillage management and cropping systems have affected, after 19 years, more the chemical and biochemical properties of SOM than its quantity.

PurposeSpent coffee grounds (SCG) is a biowaste which arouse great interest as soil organic amendment due to the huge amount produced around the world. However, the impact of this residue on soil organic matter (SOM) functionality and stability has been barely studied. Thus, the aim of this work is to study the short-term effects of SCG on the quantity and quality of SOM in two Mediterranean agricultural soils (Vega soil, SV and Red soil, SR) in microcosm conditions. Materials and methodsThe in vitro assay was performed with two fresh SCG doses (2.5 and 10% w/w), two incubation times (30 and 60 days) and two agricultural soils (SV and SR). SOM fractionation to obtain total extractable carbon, humic acids, fulvic acids, humins and hot water soluble carbon (HWSC) was determined. Spectroscopic UV-Vis and Mid-IR, thermogravimetric and simultaneous differential thermal analysis, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were also applied in this study. Results and discussionSCG increased all SOM fractions, especially the levels of more labile SOM (HWSC, increased 600–700%) and total extractable carbon (increased to around 200%). SCG also increased humic acids and fulvic acids around 200%, but the functionality of humic acids was affected by a reduction of the functional groups with more recalcitrant and stable character. The tested soils are different from each other (the SV has a more clayish texture and a higher smectite clay content than the SR) which made the behaviour of these soils different. The degree of incorporation of SCG into the soils structure and the interaction between soil and SCG particles (observed by SEM) affected carbon retention under stable forms, increasing carbon stabilization in SV with respect to SR. ConclusionsThe short-term effect of SCG on SOM composition and functionality demonstrate that this bioresidue could be used as soil organic amendment, being a valuable alternative use of a polluting waste. Soil type is a key factor since it influences the soil-SCG interaction and consequently SOM stability. To deepen the study of those effects, it would be necessary to analyze the long-term effects, field studies and to test in a greater number of soil types. 相似文献

Abstract Clearing and cultivation in crusting soils from Mazowe (Zimbabwe) has lead to severe changes in most physico‐chemical characteristics related to the concentration and distribution patterns of plant nutrients and to the total amount of soil organic matter. Nevertheless, the concentration of the different humus fractions showed lower intensity changes, as did the mineralization rates of the organic matter. The most significant effects of cultivation on the soil chemical characteristics coincided with those considered to favor clay dispersion and crusting phenomena, including generalized desaturation of the exchange complex and losses of divalent ions with a potential bridging effect between soil particles. Concerning the soil organic matter, the humic acid tended to concentrate in the cultivated soils as a probable consequence of selective biodegradation of the other humic fractions. The composition and activity of soil humus suggest low‐performance organo‐mineral interactions: in these soils the active turnover of the plant wastes is not regulated by intense physico‐chemical interactions with the soil mineral fractions, or by physical encapsulation of organic particles. In consequence, the mineralization rates were relatively constant in the soils studied and unrelated to soil organic matter concentration. The results suggests that there is a possibility to revert the early degradation stages of these soils through a rational management of suitable amounts of crop wastes. 相似文献

To assess the effect of long-term fertilization on labile organic matter fractions, we analyzed the C and N mineralization
and C and N content in soil, particulate organic matter (POM), light fraction organic matter (LFOM), and microbial biomass.
Results showed that fertilizer N decreased or did not affect the C and N amounts in soil fractions, except N mineralization
and soil total N. The C and N amounts in soil and its fractions increased with the application of fertilizer PK and rice straw.
Generally, there was no significant difference between fertilizer PK and rice straw. Furthermore, application of manure was
most effective in maintaining soil organic matter and labile organic matter fractions. Soils treated with manure alone had
the highest microbial biomass C and C and N mineralization. A significant correlation was observed between the C content and
N content in soil, POM, LFOM, microbial biomass, or the readily mineralized organic matter. The amounts of POM–N, LFOM–N,
POM–C, and LFOM–C closely correlated with soil organic C or total N content. Microbial biomass N was closely related to the
amounts of POM–N, LFOM–N, POM–C, and LFOM–C, while microbial biomass C was closely related to the amounts of POM–N, POM–C,
and soil total N. These results suggested that microbial biomass C and N closely correlated with POM rather than SOM. Carbon
mineralization was closely related to the amounts of POM–N, POM–C, microbial biomass C, and soil organic C, but no significant
correlation was detected between N mineralization with C or N amounts in soil and its fractions. 相似文献

Abstract: Changes of soil phosphorus parameters (SPP) and soil organic matter (SOM) fractions were investigated in a Cambisol of medium‐heavy texture. Soil sequential samples were taken from a minimum (MT) and conventional (CT) tillage field in Sitzenhof (Germany). For the CT soil, concentrations of available forms phosphorus (P) were stable to ~0.3‐m depth, below which they rapidly decreased to relatively low values. In contrast, the decrease in the MT soil profile was gradual from the surface layer; available forms of P concentrations were higher and sorption index values were lower than in the CT soil in corresponding depths. Concentrations of SOM fractions were higher in the MT than CT treatment soil along the whole soil profile, especially below the 0.3‐m depth. The correlations between SPP and SOM fraction concentrations were closer in the MT than in the CT, particularly below 0.3‐m depths. 相似文献
