Our aim was to identify potential responses of soil to grazing pressure on the semiarid steppe of the northern Tibetan Plateau and their probable causes. Fractal geometry to describe soil structure, soil dynamics, and physical processes within soil is becoming an increasingly useful tool that allows a better understanding of the performance of soil systems. In this study, we sampled four experimental areas in the northern part of the Tibetan Plateau under different grazing intensities: ungrazed, lightly grazed, moderately grazed and heavily grazed plots. Fractal methods were applied to characterise particle-size distributions and pore patterns of soils under different grazing intensities. Our results reveal a highly significant decrease in the fractal dimensions of particle size distributions (D                                       1                                     ) and the fractal dimensions of all pores (D                                       2                   ) with increasing grazing intensity. Soil organic carbon (SOC), total N and total P concentrations increased significantly with decreasing grazing intensity. We did not find differences in soil pH in response to grazing. Grazing induced a significant deterioration of the physical and chemical topsoil properties in the semiarid steppe of the northern Tibetan Plateau.

The sampling was conducted on a long-term liming experimental site, established in 1992, in which lime was applied every 6\u00a0years to maintain soil pH (in CaCl2) at 5.5 in the 0\u201310\u00a0cm soil depth. Polymerase chain reaction, cloning and sequencing techniques were used to investigate the diversity of AMF. Altogether, 438 AMF sequences from a total of 480 clones were obtained. Sequences of phylotypes Aca/Scu were detected exclusively in soil, while Glomus sp. (GlGr Ab) and an uncultured Glomus (UnGlGr A) were detected only in plant roots. Glomus mosseae (GlGr Aa) was the dominant AMF in the pastures examined; however, the proportion of G. mosseae was negatively correlated with soil pH, exchangeable Ca and available P. Generally, diversity of the AMF phylotypes was greater in the bulk unlimed soil and plants from this treatment when compared to the limed treatments. Long-term lime application changed soil nutrient availability and increased AMF colonization, but decreased AMF phylotype diversity, implying that soil chemistry may determine the distribution of AMF in acid soils.

Data on the C sink capacity of such plantations will provide valuable information for designing improved management strategies for afforestation programmes aimed at mitigating CO2 emissions. The study was carried in the temperate forest of southern Europe, one of the most productive timber production systems in Europe. The study, designed to control most of the variability at regional level, involved a network of 120 paired plots (former pasture land-new plantations of different ages) established to construct three well-replicated chronosequences of the most common tree species in humid temperate systems. The mean rates of C sequestration (biomass and soil) estimated throughout the rotation ranged between 8.7 and 14.6\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u2009ha\u22121\u00a0year\u22121 (Eucalyptus nitens>Eucalyptus globulus>Pinus radiata), and the contribution of the soil (forest floor plus mineral soil) ranged from 8 to 18% (Eucalyptus nitens>Pinus radiata>Eucalyptus globulus). The humid temperate climate and the sandy loam texture of the soils favoured large losses of SOC from the uppermost mineral soils during the 10\u00a0year after afforestation. The higher loss of SOC in the Pinus radiata soil (26% of initial SOC) than in the Eucalyptus soil (19.45% of initial SOC) was attributed to the lower transfer of organic C to the mineral soil, as a result of the lower litter decomposition rate and the lower belowground litter input from associated vegetation. The rapid development of tree biomass favoured the subsequent C sequestration in biomass and soils. The C sink capacity of forest plantations can be maximized by elongating the rotation length and adopting suitable management strategies for each species. This is especially important in intensive forest plantations in which the high intensity of harvesting may prevent accumulation of SOC in the long term.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "Eucalyptus", "Pinus radiata", "Tree biomass", "Soil organic matter", "Afforestation", "13.

MBC significantly decreased with biochar addition while MBN was unaltered. Net N mineralisation was highest in control soil and significantly decreased with increasing addition of biochar. These findings could not be attributed to sorption of inorganic N to biochar. CO2 evolution decreased with 5\u00a0t ha\u22121 biochar but not 25\u00a0t ha\u22121. Biochar addition at 25\u00a0t ha\u22121 changed the CLPP, while the ammonia oxidising bacterial community structure changed only when biochar was added with a N source.

Three management factors were analyzed: (1) tillage (zero tillage (ZT) or conventional tillage (CT)), (2) crop rotation (wheat monoculture (W), maize monoculture (M) and maize-wheat rotation (R)), and (3) residue management (with (+r), or without (\u2212r) crop residues). Samples were taken from the 0\u20135 and 5\u201310\u00a0cm soil layers and separated in micro-aggregates (< 0.25\u00a0mm), small macro-aggregates (0.25 to 1\u00a0mm) and large macro-aggregates (1 to 8\u00a0mm). The carbon content of each aggregate fraction was determined. Zero tillage combined with crop rotation and crop residues retention resulted in a higher proportion of macro-aggregates. In the 0\u20135\u00a0cm layer, plots with a crop rotation and monoculture of maize and wheat in ZT+r had the greatest proportion of large stable macro-aggregates (40%) and highest mean weighted diameter (MWD) (1.7\u00a0mm).

Our objectives were (1) to study the effect of land use change on aggregate size distribution, aggregate-associated OC concentrations, and aggregate-associated stocks in a semiarid grassland area and (2) to relate changes in the aggregate fractions to changes in total soil OC. Cropland and shrubland plots were established in a semiarid grassland area in 1982. We collected soil samples from adjacent grassland, cropland, and shrubland plots 27\u00a0years later and measured OC concentrations in the macroaggregate (>0.25\u00a0mm), microaggregate (0.25\u20130.053\u00a0mm) and silt+clay (<0.053\u00a0mm) fractions. Total soil OC concentrations and stocks decreased significantly after the grassland was converted to cropland or shrubland. Soil microbial biomass C, root biomass, and root C also declined. The proportion of soil in the macroaggregate fraction decreased after conversion to cropland or shrubland. Decreases in macroaggregate-associated OC stocks accounted for more than half of the OC losses that occurred when grassland was converted to cropland. The decreases in macroaggregate-associated OC stocks were due to declines in both macroaggregation and macroaggregate-associated OC concentrations after conversion to cropland. In contrast, decreases in microaggregate-associated OC stocks accounted for more than half of the OC losses when grassland was converted to shrubland. The declines in microaggregate-associated OC stocks were primarily due to a decrease in microaggregate-associated OC concentrations after conversion to shrubland. Land use changed caused significant decreases in soil OC stocks. Conversion to cropland soil resulted in large decreases in macroaggregate-associated OC stocks whereas conversion to shrubland resulted in large decreases in microaggregate-associated OC stocks.

Despite their globally large extent, few studies to date have examined the effects of climate change in desert ecosystems, where biological soil crusts are key nutrient cycling components. The goal of this work was to assess how increased temperature and frequency of summertime precipitation affect the contributions of crust organisms to soil processes. With a combination of experimental 2\u00b0C warming and altered summer precipitation frequency applied over 2\u00a0years, we measured soil nutrient cycling and the structure and function of crust communities. We saw no change in crust cover, composition, or other measures of crust function in response to 2\u00b0C warming and no effects on any measure of soil chemistry. In contrast, crust cover and function responded to increased frequency of summer precipitation, shifting from moss to cyanobacteria-dominated crusts; however, in the short timeframe we measured, there was no accompanying change in soil chemistry. Total bacterial and fungal biomass was also reduced in watered plots, while the activity of two enzymes increased, indicating a functional change in the microbial community. Taken together, our results highlight the limited effects of warming alone on biological soil crust communities and soil chemistry, but demonstrate the substantially larger effects of altered summertime precipitation.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

Livestock exclosure has been widely employed by China\u2019s state and local authorities as a management practice aimed at restoring and protecting these fragile ecosystems. However, its effects on greenhouse gas fluxes are unclear. Therefore, measurements and analyses of key GHG fluxes (CO2, CH4 and N2O) were carried out in grazed and fenced areas of an alpine steppe grassland in the central Tibetan Plateau during the growing seasons of 2009 and 2010. Results showed that: (1) For the grazed area, ecosystem respiration was 156.1\u2009\u00b1\u200919.6 and 92.7\u2009\u00b1\u200911.7\u00a0mg.m\u22122.h\u22121, soil CH4 flux was \u221263.4\u2009\u00b1\u20096.0 and \u221270.2\u2009\u00b1\u200910.4\u00a0\u03bcg.m\u22122.h\u22121, and soil N2O flux was 0.1\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9 and \u22120.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3\u00a0\u03bcg.m\u22122.h\u22121 during the growing seasons of 2009 and 2010, respectively. (2) For the fenced area, ecosystem respiration was 131.5\u2009\u00b1\u200914.3 and 114.3\u2009\u00b1\u200910.6\u00a0mg.m\u22122.h\u22121, the CH4 flux rate was \u221284.8\u2009\u00b1\u20097.3 and \u221282.7\u2009\u00b1\u20099.2\u00a0\u03bcg.m\u22122.h\u22121, and soil N2O flux was 0.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.5 and \u22125.8\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8\u00a0\u03bcg.m\u22122.h\u22121 in 2009 and 2010, respectively. (3) CO2 emission was positively correlated with soil moisture and temperature, while CH4 uptake was negatively correlated with soil moisture. The correlation between N2O flux with soil temperature or moisture was not significant. (4) Livestock exclosure decreased the Q10 value of CO2 emission, and enhanced CH4 uptake by 17.8% and 33.8% in 2009 and 2010, respectively, while its effect on CO2 emission and N2O flux was not significant.

Seedlings of typical subtropical forest ecosystems were transplanted in ten open-top chambers and grown under CO2 and nitrogen treatments. The treatments included: 1) elevated CO2 (700\u00a0\u03bcmol\u00a0mol-1); 2) N addition of 100\u00a0kg NH4NO3 ha-1\u00a0yr-1; 3) combined elevated CO2 and N addition; and 4) control. We measured soil total organic carbon (TOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), readily oxidizable organic carbon (ROC), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC). Results showed that elevated CO2 alone did not significantly affect soil TOC, POC and ROC after 4\u00a0years of treatment, but increased soil MBC and soil respiration compared to the control. N addition alone had no significant effect neither on soil TOC, POC and ROC, but decreased MBC and soil respiration over time. However, the elevated CO2 and N addition together significantly increased soil POC and ROC, and had no significant effect on soil MBC.

We hypothesized that above- and below-ground biomass, gross primary productivity (GPP), AMF root colonization and nutrient acquisition would increase in response to the future climate conditions. Furthermore, we expected that increased below-ground C allocation would enhance soil respiration (Rsoil). Grassland communities were grown either at ambient temperatures with 375\u00a0ppm CO2 (Amb) or at ambient temperatures +3\u00b0C with 620\u00a0ppm CO2 (T+CO2). Total biomass production and GPP were stimulated under T+CO2. Above-ground biomass was increased under T+CO2 while belowground biomass was similar under both climates. The significant increase in root colonization intensity under T+CO2, and therefore the better contact between roots and AMF, probably determined the higher above-ground P and N content. Rsoil was not significantly affected by the future climate conditions, only showing a tendency to increase under future climate at the end of the season. Newly established grasslands benefited from the exposure to elevated CO2 and temperature in terms of total biomass production; higher root AMF colonization may partly provide the nutrients required to sustain this growth response.", "keywords": ["2.

Methods A geographic information system (GIS) analysis was used to identify 1.05 million ha of mar- ginal cropland within the state. Soil samples were collected from four locations with (<51 yr-old) forest plantations and adjacent crop fields. Soil samples were analyzed for SOC, total nitrogen (TN), pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), ammonium acetate- extractable K, Ca, Mg, and Na, and particle size. Results The forested soils had 30.0\u00b15.1 % (mean \u00b1standard error) more SOC than the tilled cropland.

In this study, we examined impacts of experimental warming on the labile and whole SOC pools in association with warming-induced vegetation changes from 2000 to 2008 in a tallgrass prairie in Oklahoma, USA. Infrared heaters were used to elevate soil temperature by approximately 2\u00b0C since November 1999. The modified potassium permanganate (KMnO4, 0.02\u00a0mol\u00a0L\u22121) procedure was used to estimate chemically labile organic C (LOC). Warming significantly decreased chemically labile organic C (LOC) by an average of 15.56\u00a0%, but had little effect on SOC content. The decrease in LOC was probably attributable to increased soil respiration, enhanced soil erosion, and possibly stimulated C4 dominance under warming. Warming did not induce an instantaneous decrease in LOC. A 2-stage variation in LOC response to warming was observed, with no significant changes from 2000 to 2004 and significant decreases from 2005 to 2008. Lagged temporal dynamics of LOC (2\u00a0yrs) asynchronously correlated with warming-increased C4 proportion of aboveground biomass (AGB). Our findings suggest that staged decrease in LOC under warming may potentially relate to the increase in C4 biomass through detrital inputs, making it complex to predict the effect of warming on C cycling in this region.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

This work aims to i) detect the effect of elevated CO2 on soil respiration during the second rotation of a short rotation forest, at two levels of N availability; and ii) identify the main drivers behind any changes in soil respiration. A poplar plantation (POP-EUROFACE) was grown for two rotations of 3\u00a0years under elevated CO2 maintained by a FACE (Free Air CO2 Enrichment) technique. Root biomass, litter production and soil respiration were followed for two consecutive years after coppice. In the plantation, the stimulation of fine root and litter production under elevated CO2 observed at the beginning of the rotation declined over time. Soil respiration (SR) was continuously stimulated by elevated CO2, with a much larger enhancement during the growing (up to 111\u00a0%) than in the dormant season (40\u00a0%). The SR increase at first appeared to be due to the increase in fine root biomass, but at the end of the 2nd rotation was supported by litter decomposition and the availability of labile C. Soil respiration increase under elevated CO2 was not affected by N availability. The stimulation of SR by elevated CO2 was sustained by the decomposition of above and belowground litter and by the greater availability of easily decomposable substrates into the soil. In the final year as elevated CO2 did not increase C allocation to roots, the higher SR suggests greater C losses from the soil, thus reducing the potential for C accumulation.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

Linville Gorge Wilderness (LGW) is one example of a high elevation wilderness in the southern Appalachian region that has been subject to stress complexes including chronic acidic deposition and several wildfires, varying in intensity and extent. Soils in LGW are inherently acidic with low base cation concentrations and decades of acidic deposition have contributed to low pH, based saturation, and Ca:Al ratio. We hypothesized that wildfires that occurred in LGW followed by liming burned areas would accelerate the restoration of acidic, nutrient depleted soils. Because soils at LGW had extremely low concentrations of exchangeable Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ dolomitic lime was applied to further boost these cations. We evaluated the effectiveness of dolomitic lime application in restoring exchangeable Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ and subsequently increasing pH and Ca:Al ratio of soils and making Ca and Mg available to recovering vegetation. Methods Five treatment areas were established: severely burned twice (2000 & 2007) with dolomitic lime application (2xSBL); moderately burned twice with lime application (2xMBL); severely burned twice, unlimed (2xSB); moderately burned once (2000), unlimed (1xMB); and a reference area (REF; unburned, unlimed). In 2008 and 2009, we measured overstory, understory, and ground-layer vegetation; forest floor mass and nutrients; and soil and soil solution chemistry within each treatment area. Results All wildfire burned sites experienced substantial overstory mortality. However, understory biomass doubled between sample years on the most recently burned sites due to the rapid regrowth of ericaceous shrubs and prolific sprouting of deciduous trees. Burning followed by lime application (2xSBL and 2xMBL) significantly increased shallow soil solution NO3-N, but we found no soil solution NO3-N response to burning alone (2xSB and 1xMB). Surface soil base saturation and exchangeable Ca 2+ were significantly affected by liming; Ca 2+ concentrations were greater on 2xMBL and 2xSBL than 2xSB, 1xMB and REF.", "keywords": ["13.

Knowledge on the ageing mechanisms of plastics in natural settings is needed to understand their environmental fate and interaction with biota. The study of physicochemical and biological ageing is gaining focus in the context of the environmental sciences. However experimental research has typically assessed individual ageing processes, isolating them from a more realistic and complex environmental context where multiple factors are simultaneously at play. An over-simplistic approach can limit the comprehension of the phenomenon and prevent ranking the prevalent processes. In this study we propose a multi-tiered approach to study the environmental ageing of polyethylene plastic fragments focusing on the combined assessment of physical and biological processes, in sequence. The ageing protocol included Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in air and in a range of water solutions, followed by a biofouling test. Changes in surface characteristics were assessed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. UV irradiation both in air and water caused a significant increase in the density of oxidized groups on plastic surface, whereby water solution chemistry influenced the process both by modulating surface oxidation and morphology. Biofouling too, was a strong determinant of surface alterations, regardless the prior irradiation treatments. This suggests that biological-driven alterations are not affected by the level of chemical-physical ageing and may represent, in real settings, a main driver of alteration of both weathered and pristine plastics. This work highlights the potential pivotal role of biofouling as a main process of plastic ageing, providing useful technical insights for future experimental works. These results also confirms that a multi-tiered experimental approach is necessary for a complete characterization of the environmental ageing of plastics.</p>", "keywords": ["Polyethylene", "13.

Such information is needed for designing improved management strategies for reforestation programmes in subtropical environments aimed at mitigating CO2 emissions. Four harvest residue management treatments including slash burning, whole tree, stem-only and double residue retention were applied to sixteen 20\u00a0m\u2009\u00d7\u200930\u00a0m plots in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Tree growth was measured annually and soil properties were measured at 3\u00a0year intervals over a 15\u00a0year period after re-planting. Cumulative diameter growth at age 15\u00a0years was significantly smaller in the slash burning than the whole tree and double residue harvest treatments. Hot water extractable N concentrations increased with the increased organic residue retention levels and significant differences were observed between double residue and slash burning treatments. Harvest residue management had no significant effect on the soil C concentrations to 40\u00a0cm depth. ANOVA showed that harvest residue management had no significant effect on total biomass carbon at age 15, but the plantation ecosystem (soil C at 0\u201340\u00a0cm depth plus forest biomass C) had significantly lower C mass in the slash burning treatment compared with whole tree, stem only harvest and double residue harvest treatments.

To resolve the above question, two nested hydroponic experiments based on a two-factor, five-level central composite design, were performed using a conventional indica rice (Fengmeizhan). The results showed that when the Se concentration was fixed at 0.8\u00a0mg\u00a0L-1, the addition of Sb, even at concentrations as low as 2.171\u00a0mg\u00a0L-1, could produce damages to this plant and significantly reduce both the aboveground and root biomasses, suggesting a high toxicity of Sb to this plant. However, when the Sb concentration was fixed at 5\u00a0mg\u00a0L-1, Se eliminated the negative effects of Sb on the aboveground growth of paddy-rice but did not noticeably affect the root biomass, suggesting a beneficial role of Se in conferring resistance to Sb toxicity in paddy-rice. Interestingly, when the Se concentration was fixed at 0.8\u00a0mg\u00a0L-1, the addition of Sb caused a consistent decrease in the Se concentration in the roots but a slight increase in the Se concentration in the aboveground, suggesting a dual effect of Sb on Se uptake. Furthermore, the addition of Sb could counterbalance the negative effects of 0.8\u00a0mg\u00a0L-1 Se on the uptake of most of the tested essential elements, significantly increased their concentrations in the different tissues of this plant. The Se-mediated alleviation of Sb toxicity could be closely connected with (1) the direct inhibition of Sb uptake; and (2) the uptake regulation of some essential elements, such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K).

Evidence suggests that biochar can also increase crop yields, reduce nutrient leaching and increase biological nitrogen fixation in leguminous plants. However, the potential for increasing biological N2 fixation in agroecosystems is poorly understood, with inconsistent reports of root nodulation following biochar application. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of biochar application rate and time since application on nodulation and nitrogenase activity in nodules of clover grown in a temperate agricultural soil. Methods: We used replicated field plots with three biochar application rates (0, 25 and 50 t ha-1). Three years after biochar amendment, the plots were further split and fresh biochar added at two different rates (25 and 50 t ha-1) resulting in double-loaded reapplications of 25&thinsp;+&thinsp;25 and 50&thinsp;+&thinsp;50 t ha-1. Results: Three years after biochar application, there was no significant difference in the total number of root nodules between biochar-amended and unamended soil, regardless of the application rate. However, despite clover root nodules being of a similar number and size the level of nitrogenase activity of individual nodules in biochar-amended soil was significantly higher than in unamended soil. Reapplication of biochar resulted in decreased nodulation, although the rate of nitrogenase activity per nodule remained unaffected. Conclusion: In the short term, biochar influences root nodule number and localised N2 fixation per nodule; however, total nitrogenase activity for the whole root system remained unaffected by the application rate of biochar or time since its application. These results emphasise the importance of long-term field studies, with a variety of applications rates for determining the influence of biochar applications on N2-fixing organisms and in providing data that can meaningfully inform agronomic management decisions and climate change mitigation strategies.", "keywords": ["Carbon sequestration", "2.

A study at a Spanish dehesa has been carried out to estimate the spatial distribution of the soil organic carbon stock and to assess the influence of the tree cover. Methods The soil organic carbon stock was estimated from the five uppermost cm of the mineral soil with high spatial resolution at two plots with different grazing intensities. The Universal Kriging technique was used to assess the spatial distribution of the soil organic carbon stocks, using tree coverage within a buffering area as an auxiliary variable. Results A significant positive correlation between tree presence and soil organic carbon stocks up to distances of around 8 m from the trees was found. The tree crown cover within a buffer up to a distance similar to the crown radius around the point absorbed 30 % of the variance in the model for both grazing intensities, but residual variance showed stronger spatial autocorrelation under regular grazing conditions. Conclusions Tree cover increases soil organic carbon stocks, and can be satisfactorily estimated by means of crown parameters. However, other factors are involved in the spatial pattern of the soil organic carbon distribution. Livestock plays an interactive role together with tree presence in soil organic carbon distribution. \u00a9 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.", "keywords": ["2.

Our objective was to disentangle long-term effects of P-fertilization and tillage on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) proliferation and community structure.

The 0\u201315\u00a0cm and 15\u201330\u00a0cm soil layers had different properties under NT, but were similar under MP, after 17\u00a0years, and MP increased soil available P levels. Phosphorus fertilization increased P levels in soil and in soybean. Treatment effects on AMF spore and hyphal density at 0\u201315\u00a0cm were greater than that at 15\u201330\u00a0cm, whereas effects on AMF community structure did not change with soil depths. At 0\u201315\u00a0cm, P-fertilization increased AMF spore density and reduced AMF hyphal density, and MP reduced AMF spore density. A total of eight AMF phylotypes were detected. Phosphorus fertilization reduced AMF phylotype richness and Shannon diversity index. Soil P availability increased under MP and hence the influence of P-fertilization treatments on the frequency of AMF phylotype detection varied with tillage system; it declined with P-fertilization under MP, but increased under NT. Phosphorus fertilization shifts resource partitioning in AMF propagules rather than in their hyphae, and degrades the genetic diversity of AMF in soil; tillage increases soil P availability and hence aggravates the impact of P-fertilization.", "keywords": ["2.

We simulated realistic N deposition increases with low-level fertilization and manipulated grazing with fencing in a split-plot experiment in California\u2019s largest serpentine grassland. We also monitored grazing intensity using camera traps and measured total available N to assess grazing and nutrient enrichment effects on microbial extracellular enzyme activity (EEA), microbial N mineralization, and respiration rates in soil. Continuous measures of grazing intensity and N availability showed that increased grazing and N were correlated with increased microbial activity and were stronger predictors than the categorical grazing and fertilization measures. Exotic cover was also generally correlated with increased microbial activity resulting from exotic-driven nutrient cycling alterations. Seasonal effects, on abiotic factors and plant phenology, were also an important factor in EEA with lower activity occurring at peak plant biomass. In combination with previous studies from this serpentine grassland, our results suggest that grazing intensity and soil N availability may affect the soil microbial community indirectly via effects on exotic cover and associated changes in nutrient cycling while grazing directly impacts soil community function.", "keywords": ["2.

Differential changes in ROS production, chloroplast morphology and gene expression of sulfate transporters were found among the three genotypes during the experiment.

Soil respiration was measured over 2 successive years in Holm oak (Quercus ilex subsp. ballota; Qi); Pyrenean Oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd; Qp); and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.; Ps) forest stands located in the area surrounding Madrid (Spain), to assess the long term effects of wildfires on C efflux from the soil, soil properties, and the role of soil temperature and soil moisture in the variation of soil respiration. Soil respiration, soil temperature, soil moisture, fine root mass, microbial biomass, biological and chemical soil parameters were compared between non burned (NB) and burned sites (B).

Soil microclimate changed with higher soil temperature and lower soil moisture in B sites after fire. Exchangeable cations and the pH also decreased. The total SOC stocks were not significantly altered, but 6\u20138\u00a0years after wildfires, there was still measurably lower fine root and microbial biomass, while SOC quality changed, indicated by lower the C/N ratio and the labile carbon and a relative increase in refractory SOC forms, which resulted in lower Q10 values. We found long term effects of wildfires on the physical, chemical and biological soil characteristics, which in turn affected soil respiration. The response of soil respiration to temperature was controlled by moisture and changed with ecosystem type, season, and between B and NB sites.

In the absence of NaCl, plant growth rate was the highest in the medium containing both nitrogen forms, and the lowest in the medium containing only nitrate. Irrespective of the nitrogen form, plant growth was generally higher at 200\u00a0mM NaCl than without salinity. Ammonium-fed plants showed better growth than nitrate-fed plants under high salinity. In the absence of salinity, ammonium-fed plants showed higher SOD, APX, GR, CAT, and GPX activities than nitrate-fed ones. The antioxidant enzymes exhibited higher activity in saline-treated plants. The considerable advantage of NH4                   + nutrition to S. alterniflora under saline conditions was associated with high antioxidant enzyme activities, together with low MDA content, EL, and H2O2 concentration. These data clearly demonstrate that NH4                   + is more favourable for the growth of S. alterniflora under high salinity than NO3                   \u2212. It is suggested that NH4                   + nutrition improves the plant\u2019s capacity to limit oxidative damage by stimulating the activities of the major antioxidant enzymes.", "keywords": ["2.

The present 7-year long-term field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of integrated management systems and N fertilization on SOM fractions and carbon management index (CMI). Two integrated soil-crop system management (ISSM-1 and ISSM-2, combined with improved cultivation pattern, water management and no-tillage) were compared with a traditional farming system at three nitrogen (N) fertilization rates (0, 150 and 225\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha\u22121). Management systems had greater effects on SOM and its fractions than did N fertilization. Compared with traditional farming practice, the integrated management systems increased soil organic carbon (SOC) by 13\u00a0% and total nitrogen (TN) by 10\u00a0% (averaged over N levels) after 7\u00a0years. Integrated management systems were more effective in increasing labile SOM fractions and CMI as compared to traditional farming practice. SOC, TN and dissolved organic matter in nitrogen increased with N fertilization rates. Nonetheless, N addition decreased other labile fractions: particulate organic matter, dissolved organic matter in carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen and potassium permanganate-oxidizable carbon. We conclude that integrated management systems increased total SOM, labile fractions and CMI, effectively improved soil quality in rice-rapeseed rotations. Appropriate N fertilization (N150) resulted in higher SOC and TN. Though N application increased dissolved organic matter in nitrogen, it was prone to decrease most of the other labile SOM fractions, especially under higher N rate (N250), implying the decline of SOM quality.", "keywords": ["2.

A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of water, fertilizer, and temperature on SCE in semiarid grassland in northern China. SCE, as well as environmental factors was measured in two grasslands, one with bunge needlegrass (BNE, Stipa bungeana) and one with purple alfalfa (ALF, Medicago sativa), with four treatments: CK (unwatered and unfertilized); W (50 mm water addition yr(-1)); F (50 kg phosphorus (P) fertilizer ha(-1) yr(-1) for ALF, 100 kg nitrogen (N) + 50 kg P fertilizer ha(-1) yr(-1) for BNE); and W + F. During the 11-month experimental period from July 2010 to October 2011, the addition of water consistently stimulated mean SCE in BNE and ALF, and the positive effects were relatively stronger during dry seasons. P fertilization consistently enhanced SCE in ALF, and the positive effect was strongly dependent on the availability of soil water. The effects of N plus P fertilization on SCE in BNE varied seasonally from significant increases to small reductions to no response. Water addition increased the Q (10) of SCE in ALF by 11 % but had no effect in BNE. Fertilization, however, reduced the Q (10) of SCE by 21 % and 13 % for BNE and ALF, respectively. Models that rely only on Q (10) underestimated the emissions of soil CO2 by 8-15 % at the study site, which was mediated by species and treatment. Responses of SCE and its temperature sensitivity to water and fertilizer may vary with species and depend on the period of measurement. Models of SCE need to incorporate the availability of ecosystemic water and nutrients, as well as species, and incorporate different environmental factors when determining the impact of water, nutrients, and species on SCE.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of long-term fertilization on soil organic carbon (SOC), its labile fractions and aggregate-associated carbon throughout a 0\u20133\u00a0m soil profile. The investigation was conducted in a field experiment started in 1990 in an oasis farmland cropped with winter wheat. The following treatments were compared with the desert from which the oasis was created: CK (no fertilizer), NPK, N2P2K, NPKR, and N2P2R2 (\u201c2\u201d for double fertilizer and \u201cR\u201d for straw residue) SOC contents increased by 14\u201356\u00a0% in the topsoil (0\u20130.2\u00a0m), but decreased by 15\u201322\u00a0% in the subsoil (0.2\u20130.6\u00a0m) under all fertilizer treatments. In the deep layer (0.6\u20133\u00a0m) there were significant differences between the treatments: SOC decreased by 5\u20139\u00a0% in treatments without straw, but increased by 4\u20139\u00a0% in treatments with straw. Labile fractions (particulate organic carbon and light fraction organic carbon) also showed similar trends. Both the fertilizer and CK treatments led to an increase in the amount of macro-aggregates (>0.25\u00a0mm), especially small macro-aggregates (0.25\u20132\u00a0mm), throughout the soil profile. SOC content was highest in the macro-aggregates, intermediate in the silt + clay fraction (<0.053\u00a0mm), and lowest in the micro-aggregates (0.25\u20130.053\u00a0mm). However, 44\u201387\u00a0% of total SOC was stored in the silt + clay fraction, especially in the deep layer (at least 80\u00a0%). After 20\u00a0years of fertilizer applications, difference in SOC mainly occurred in the deep layer, and preservation of SOC in the silt + clay fraction appeared to be a prerequisite for soil-carbon sequestration. Applying inorganic fertilizer alone decreased SOC content in the silt + clay fraction in the deep layer, while the combined applications with straw resulted in higher SOC content in the silt + clay fraction in that layer, which turned out to be the main mechanism for increasing SOC content. Our study indicated that applying straw with inorganic fertilizer is the best practice for carbon sequestration, which occurred mainly in the deep soil layer.", "keywords": ["2.
