Thus, the impacts of both practices and their interactions on soil organic C (SOC) dynamics must be studied. The main objective of this study was to determine long-term effects of tillage and N fertilization on soil biochemical properties in a long-term experiment established in 1996 on a dryland Typic Xerofluvent soil cropped with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in NE Spain. The response of SOC concentration, soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and soil enzyme activities (DHA, dehydrogenase, and PRA, protease) to different tillage (no-tillage, NT; reduced tillage, RT; and conventional tillage, CT) and N treatments (zero, 0 kg N ha\u22121; medium, 60 kg N ha\u22121; and high, 120 kg N ha\u22121) were measured in 2008 at four soil depths (i.e., 0\u20135, 5\u201310, 10\u201325 and 25\u201350 cm). All the soil biochemical properties studied showed significant differences for tillage, depth and the interaction between tillage and soil depth. However, N fertilization rates only affected the SMBC content, which was greater under 120 kg N ha\u22121 than under 0 kg N ha\u22121 in the 10\u201325 cm soil layer. In the soil surface layer (0\u20135 cm), SOC, SMBC and DHA levels in CT were about 50% of the levels in the NT plots. However, in the 10\u201325 cm soil layer, a greater SOC concentration in CT compared with NT and RT was also accompanied by SMBC and DHA values 30% higher in CT. Below 25 cm soil depth, similar values of soil biochemical properties were found among tillage systems. There was a significant correlation among almost all the parameters studied, with the greatest correlations between SOC and SMBC and between SOC and DHA. In semiarid Mediterranean conditions, after 12 years of experiment, tillage impacted soil biochemical properties in a greater extent compared with N fertilization even though this effect was only limited to the upper soil layers.

This study tested the effects of soil amendment with two loads of wood-derived biochar (30 and 60 t ha(-1)) in a wheat crop in Tuscany (Italy). Soil samples were collected 3 and 14 months after treatments over two successive growing seasons, and analysed for pH, total organic C (C-org), extractable C (C-ext), microbial biomass-C (C-mic), 25 specific microbial activities, mean substrate-induced respiration (mSIR) for 25 substrates, functional microbial diversity and bacterial genetic diversity. No significant effect of biochar treatment was observed on C-org, C-ext, C-mic, microbial quotient (C-mic % C-org) or genetic diversity. An increase in mSIR, some specific microbial activities and soil pH, and a significant change in functional diversity were observed 3 months after treatment. In contrast, no effect of biochar was detected 14 months after treatment for the parameters considered, except for a small but significant increase in pH. Our data suggest that biochar addition stimulated soil microbial activity without causing any apparent disturbance, but this positive effect was very short-lived.

This region is responsible for 97% of the national exportation of table grapes, including seedless grapes. Based on the fact that organic fertilization can improve soil quality, we compared the effects of conventional and organic soil management on microbial activity and mycorrhization of seedless grape crops. We measured glomerospores number, most probable number (MPN) of propagules, richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species, AMF root colonization, EE-BRSP production, carbon microbial biomass (C-MB), microbial respiration, fluorescein diacetate hydrolytic activity (FDA) and metabolic coefficient (qCO2). The organic management led to an increase in all variables with the exception of EE-BRSP and qCO2. Mycorrhizal colonization increased from 4.7% in conventional crops to 15.9% in organic crops. Spore number ranged from 4.1 to 12.4 per 50 g-1 soil in both management systems. The most probable number of AMF propagules increased from 79 cm-3 soil in the conventional system to 110 cm-3 soil in the organic system. Microbial carbon, CO2 emission, and FDA activity were increased by 100 to 200% in the organic crop. Thirteen species of AMF were identified, the majority in the organic cultivation system. Acaulospora excavata, Entrophospora infrequens, Glomus sp.3 and Scutellospora sp. were found only in the organically managed crop. S. gregaria was found only in the conventional crop. Organically managed vineyards increased mycorrhization and general soil microbial activity.</p>", "keywords": ["semiarid", "sustainable agriculture", "Soil", "atividade microbiana do solo", "semi-\u00e1rido", "agricultura sustent\u00e1vel", "Vitis vinifera L.", "0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "soil microbial activity", "fungos micorr\u00edzicos arbusculares"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1590/s0103-90162011000200013"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Scientia%20Agricola", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1590/s0103-90162011000200013", "name": "item", "description": "10.1590/s0103-90162011000200013", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1590/s0103-90162011000200013"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2011-04-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.15690367", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "Open Access", "updated": "2026-07-25T16:23:10Z", "type": "Report", "title": "AGRIFOODPLAST 2023 International Conference on Micro and Nano-Plastics in the Agri-Food chain", "description": "This is a collection of presentations by PAPILLONS community at AGRIFOODPLAST 2023 International Conference on Micro and Nano-Plastics in the Agri-Food chain.\u00a0 News here: https://www.papillons-h2020.eu/events/agrifoodplast-international-conference-on-micro-and-nano-plastics-in-the-agri-food-chain/", "keywords": ["plants", "microplastic", "soil invertebrates", "soil microbial activity", "mesocosm", "agriculture"], "contacts": [{"organization": "van Loon, Sam, van Gestel, Kees,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15690367"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.15690367", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.15690367", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.15690367"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-06-18T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10261/407328", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "Embargo", "updated": "2026-07-25T16:24:47Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "HARVEST Project Dataset-France Apple Orchard Soil biological and chemical parameters (2019\u20132020) [Dataset]", "description": "Embargo[ES] Este conjunto de datos incluye informaci\u00f3n qu\u00edmica y biol\u00f3gica del suelo recolectada en un campo de manzanos manejado bajo dos sistemas (Ecol\u00f3gico y Manejo Integrado de Plagas) y tres modalidades de cubierta en las calles (Control, Cubierta de gram\u00edneas, Cubierta de gram\u00edneas y leguminosas).
