However, very little information is available on the relatively long-term effect of different crop rotations and soil tillage practices on crop yields and soil quality parameters. This study was conducted at the Normandin Research Farm of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Five rotation types [1: Canola\u2013Barley\u2013Barley\u2013Pea (C\u2013B\u2013B\u2013P); 2: Canola\u2013Pea\u2013Barley\u2013Barley (C\u2013P\u2013B\u2013B); 3: Canola\u2013Barley\u2013Pea\u2013Barley (C\u2013B\u2013P\u2013B); 4: Pea monoculture; and 5: Barley monoculture] and two soil tillage practices [1: Chisel plough (CP) and 2: Moldboard plough (MP)] were evaluated. Canola monoculture of was not included. The study began in 1999 on a former alfalfa field and ended in 2010 after three four-year rotation cycles. Barley monoculture decreased yields by 600 kg ha\u22121 in the last five years, whereas field pea monoculture decreased yields by about 1000 kg ha\u22121 in most years. Barley monoculture did not significantly reduce grain yields compared to C\u2013B\u2013B\u2013P and C\u2013P\u2013B\u2013B, highlighting the importance of alternate crops every year. Soil tillage (CP versus MP) did not significantly affect yields for all crops in most years; and when it did have an effect, it showed inconsistencies by either increasing or decreasing grain yields. Soil tillage also had insignificant impact regardless of the rotation type involved. Rotation type and soil tillage had insignificant effect on soil organic matter content, whereas CP increased nitrate and phosphorus content in the 0\u201320 cm soil layer. Rotation type had insignificant impact on soil physical properties, whereas CP improved soil water conductivity by 0.03 cm h\u22121 for C\u2013B\u2013B\u2013P and barley monoculture.

It was suggested that the concentration of N in plant litter as well as the amount of litter are responsible for these changes. However, for grassland ecosystems, there have been no relevant data available to support this hypothesis. Data from five years of the Swiss FACE experiment show that, under fertile soil conditions in a binary plant community consisting of Lolium perenne L. and Trifolium repens L., the concentration of litter N does not change under elevated atmospheric pCO2; this applies to harvest losses, stubble, stolons and roots as the sources of litter. This is in strong contrast to the CO2 response of L. perenne swards without associated legumes; in this case the above-ground concentration of biomass N decreased substantially. Increased symbiotic N2 fixation in T. repens nodules and a greater proportion of the N-rich T. repens in the community are regarded as the main mechanisms that buffer the increased C introduction into the ecosystem under elevated atmospheric pCO2. Our data also suggest that elevated atmospheric pCO2 results in greater amounts of litter, mainly due to increased root biomass production. This study indicates that, in a fertile grassland ecosystem with legumes, the concentration of N in plant litter is not affected by elevated atmospheric pCO2 and, thus, cannot explain CO2-induced changes in the cycling of N.", "keywords": ["RAY GRASS ANGLAIS", "[SDV.BV]Life Sciences [q-bio]/Vegetal Biology", "AGRONOMIE", "[SDV.BV] Life Sciences [q-bio]/Vegetal Biology"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Hartwig, U.A., L\u00fcscher, Andreas, Daepp, M., Blum, H., Soussana, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois, N\u00f6sberger, J.,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1023/a:1004601915836"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Plant%20and%20Soil", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1023/a:1004601915836", "name": "item", "description": "10.1023/a:1004601915836", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1023/a:1004601915836"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1023/a:1009838618133", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "Closed Access", "updated": "2026-09-20T16:16:36Z", "type": "Journal Article", "description": "The decomposition of oilseed rape residues of differentquality and its effects on the mineral N dynamics of the soil in the period between crops were studied in situ. The residues studied were obtained by growing an oilseed rape crop at two levels of N fertilisation, 0 and 270 kg N ha\u22121. The study was carried out using two types of experiment: \ufb01eld plots and cylinders \ufb01lled with disturbed soil and inserted into the soil. The decomposition of the residues was followed using an approach involving the dynamics of both carbon and nitrogen, the parameters measured being the CO2 emitted from the soil, the soil mineral N content, the C present in soluble form or in the form of microbial biomass, and the C and N present in the form of plant residues. The two residues studied, of similar biochemical composition, and differing only in their N content, were rapidly mineralised: approximately 50% of the carbon in the residues was decomposed during the \ufb01rst two months following incorporation into the soil. The carbon mineralised in the form of CO2 was largely related to the C present in the residues, no relationship having been found with the C present in soluble form or in the form of microbial biomass. Calculation of net N mineralisation from the residues using a model of mineralisation and leaching has provided evidence of an immobilisation phase for soil mineral N, during the \ufb01rst steps of residues decomposition. Labelling the high-N residues with 15N has moreover enabled us to demonstrate the low availability of the organic N from this residue, 20.8% of the organic N being mineralised in the course of 18 months of experimentation. Eventually, only the highest-N content residue resulted in a mineral N surplus in the soil, equivalent to 9 kg N ha\u22121, by comparison with the control soil. Finally, this study has provided good evidence of the complementarity between the two experimental methods. The cylinders of disturbed soil gave a precise measurement of the decomposition of the residues, especially by means of monitoring soil respiration.

Hydro-pedotransfer functions\u00a0(PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil information to soil hydraulic properties\u00a0(SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process-based and empirical models, thereby enabling the assessment of soil hydraulic effects on hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecological processes. At least more than 4 decades of research have been invested to derive such relationships. However, while models, methods, data storage capacity, and computational efficiency have advanced, there are fundamental concerns related to the scope and adequacy of current PTFs, particularly when applied to parameterise models used at the field scale and beyond. Most of the PTF development process has focused on refining and advancing the regression methods, while fundamental aspects have remained largely unconsidered. Most soil systems are not represented in PTFs, which have been built mostly for agricultural soils in temperate climates. Thus, existing PTFs largely ignore how parent material, vegetation, land use, and climate affect processes that shape SHPs. The PTFs used to parameterise the Richards\u2013Richardson equation are mostly limited to predicting parameters of the van\u00a0Genuchten\u2013Mualem soil hydraulic functions, despite sufficient evidence demonstrating their shortcomings. Another fundamental issue relates to the diverging scales of derivation and application, whereby PTFs are derived based on laboratory measurements while often being applied at the field to regional scales. Scaling, modulation, and constraining strategies exist to alleviate some of these shortcomings in the mismatch between scales. These aspects are addressed here in a joint effort by the members of the International Soil Modelling Consortium\u00a0(ISMC) Pedotransfer Functions Working Group with the aim of systematising PTF research and providing a roadmap guiding both PTF development and use. We close with a 10-point catalogue for funders and researchers to guide review processes and research.</p></article>", "keywords": ["Technology", "550", "Bodenanalyse", "Modell", "SPHAGNUM MOSS", "Environmental technology.
