In the present study, we used a secondary compost process to re-use the compost products, and evaluated the effect of secondary compost products (SCP) on tomato bacterial wilt in three field trials. The results showed that SCP application had great potential for the control of tomato bacterial wilt. Compared with the control (local conventional cultivation), SCP application decreased the disease incidence by 32\u201381% and increased fruit yields by 59\u201395% across the three trials. Irrespective of treatment, significant correlations were found between Ralstonia solanacearum populations and total nitrogen, soil organic carbon and NO3\u2212-N contents. Moreover, the severity of bacterial wilt negatively associated with the activity of phosphomonoesterase and \u03b2- d -glucosidase, FDA hydrolysis, soil respiration, microbial biomass carbon and bacterial community diversity, whereas positively related with fungal community diversity. The results indicate that the enhancement of soil suppressiveness against R.\u00a0solanacearum by SCP application was likely due to the alteration of microbial community structure and increased competitive ability of beneficial microorganisms with pathogens. We concluded that SCP application, as a way of re-utilization of compost products have the ability to increase soil suppressive capacity against bacterial wilt.", "keywords": ["2.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of long-term (more than 30 years) land management practices on the P pool sizes and phosphatase activities in semiarid prairie soils of Oklahoma, USA. The treatments included undisturbed, abandoned from cultivation, heavily grazed, moderately grazed, and winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum  L.). Total, organic, labile, and microbial P were quantified as well as activities of acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterase, phosphodiesterase, and inorganic pyrophosphatase. Neither cultivation nor grazing lead to a significant change in soil total P. Phosphatase activities were affected more by wheat cultivation than by grazing. When compared to the undisturbed treatment, grazing did not alter the size and composition of the tested P pools or lessen the capacity of the soil to cycle P. On the contrary, continuous wheat cultivation reduced the capacity of soil to cycle P and led to accumulation of organic and plant available P. Overall, cultivation led to the development of a microbial community with significantly reduced P use efficiency, grazing maintained a soil microbial community with relatively high P use efficiency, and removal from cultivation allowed the soil ecosystem to evolve towards the P cycling capacity of the native soil.", "keywords": ["2.

The field experiment was conducted in Setif province in a northern Algerian agroecosystem with a Mediterranean climate. The nodule N storage in intercropped common bean was 60% higher than for sole crops and was highest in a P-deficient soil in the second year. The carbon stock from the microbial biomass of the soil (MBC) was higher with intercropping than for sole crops and fallow and was even higher in P-deficient (23%) soils as compared to P sufficient (17%) conditions. There was a strong correlation between C stock from nodule (NC) and MBC stock for intercropping in either P-deficient (r 2 \u00a0=\u00a00.80***;  p  2 \u00a0=\u00a00.69**;  p  2  m \u22122  days \u22121 ) and the lowest MB C:N ratio (10.3 and 12.2 for common bean and maize, respectively) in intercrops system.

Nitrification is a key process in the N cycle and ammonia oxidization is the first and typically limiting step in nitrification. In this study, we investigated the changes of ammonium oxidizing prokaryotes after the application of green manure in a red paddy soil using pot experiments. The experiment included four treatments; milk vetch-rice, radish-rice, ryegrass-rice and winter fallow-rice. The nitrification potential was measured, and the abundance and community of amoA genes from ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) were quantified. The results showed that the AOA to AOB ratios ranged from 7 to 80, and that the milk vetch treatment increased the abundances of AOA and AOB. The abundance of AOA showed negative correlations with nitrification potential and NH4+-N, and positive correlation with soil pH in the acidic red paddy soil. DNA sequence analyses revealed that the Nitrososphaera and Nitrosospira were the dominant clusters of AOA and AOB, respectively. The dominant clusters of AOA were significantly changed by utilization of green manures, especially radish. Partial least squares path modeling analysis showed that green manures exerted larger effects on the abundances of AOA than on AOB, and the community structure of AOA had the strongest effect on nitrification potential. The high abundance of AOA found in this study and their responsiveness to green manuring suggests that AOA are critically important for soil ammonia oxidation in these soils and more sensitive to green manuring than AOB.", "keywords": ["2.

Recently, SOC also became an indicator for monitoring climate change mitigation policies in the agricultural sector. The availability of up-to-date SOC inventories is thus crucial in terms of supporting SOC\u2013related actions at country or sub-country scales. Currently, the National Monitoring System of the Agricultural Soils of Slovakia (CMS-P), whose network of 318 monitoring sites was last surveyed in 2018, is the only available source of up-to-date topsoil SOC data for agricultural land in Slovakia. Although very useful at the national scale, the number of CMS-P observations it contains is too limited for much needed sub-national SOC inventories. We hypothesized that with the aid of well-chosen macro-scale drivers of topsoil SOC accumulation in agricultural land in Slovakia, and by mapping those drivers geographically, we could upscale the CMS-P observations and produce a regional estimate of topsoil SOC. Altitude, land cover, topsoil texture, and soil type were assumed to be the key factors controlling topsoil SOC accumulation in Slovakia, and based on these, the country was classified into 14 macro-scale geographical regions. Typical ranges and mid-class values of 0\u201330cm topsoil SOC concentrations (%) and stocks (t ha\u22121) were calculated for each macro-scale region from CMS-P data. The average topsoil SOC content in agricultural land was estimated to be 2.13% (72.9 t ha\u22121). The highest topsoil SOC stock (> 90 t ha\u22121) was estimated for the lowlands of Slovakia, and the lowest (< 50 t ha\u22121) for the shallow and stony soils of mountain regions. When aggregated to 78 administrative regions at LAU1 level, the area-weighted averages ranged between 39.20 t ha\u22121 and 80.0 t ha\u22121, with the highest values (> 65 t ha\u22121) being in LAU1 regions in the south-west, south-east, and north of Slovakia where arable land is most prevalent. Total SOC storage in 0\u201330cm topsoil of agricultural land in Slovakia was estimated at 118.39 Mt, with two-thirds of this amount stored in arable soils in 33 south-west, south-east, and south LAU1 administrative regions. As there is no alternative and up-to-date dataset on topsoil SOC content in Slovakia, the upscaling algorithm presented in this study is an important step toward utilizing CMS-P data for sub-national SOC inventories. It may also offer a new way of providing inputs to help predict future or alternative regional topsoil SOC accumulation trajectories in Slovakian agricultural land using process-based or statistical models.", "keywords": ["2.

We use GLOBIOM \u2013 an economic partial equilibrium model of the global forest, agriculture, and biomass sectors with a bottom-up representation of agricultural and forestry management practices. The results indicate that second generation biofuel production fed by wood from sustainably managed existing forests would lead to a negative iLUC factor, meaning that overall emissions are 27% lower compared to the \u201cNo biofuel\u201d scenario by 2030. The iLUC factor of first generation biofuels global expansion is generally positive, requiring some 25 years to be paid back by the GHG savings from the substitution of biofuels for conventional fuels. Second generation biofuels perform better also with respect to the other investigated criteria; on the condition that they are not sourced from dedicated plantations directly competing for agricultural land.

The need for realistic experiments examining the effects of extreme events, including their possible interaction, is therefore high. Here, we imposed heat and drought events in a full factorial design, on experimental plant communities consisting of three temperate, annual or biannual herbaceous species. The extremes were simulated in either early or late summer (July or August), as summer is the season where they are expected to have the greatest impact. The 10-day heat waves were simulated with infrared lamps and drought (either 20 or 17 days) was created by withholding water input and removing the water table.  During exposure, effects of drought extremes on leaf physiology were predominantly negative in July, and absent in August. Effects of heat extremes were positive, negative or neutral depending on species and period. Heat and drought were additive in July, but interacted in August. The aforementioned negative effects were not reflected in total (aboveground plus belowground) end-of-season community biomass, which, surprisingly, was stimulated in response to drought extremes in both periods. Effects of heat extremes varied but never reduced biomass, likewise to combined heat and drought. This increase in total community biomass originated exclusively from stimulated root growth. The exact mechanism for this unexpected result could not be ascertained, but greater whole-plant nitrogen stocks clearly indicated enhanced nutrient availability. The latter may have arisen from increased net mineralization or from greater root exploration under the influence of \u201cmid-season drought\u201d. Shifts in species dominance apparently also played a role, as species with pronounced allocation to roots were released from competition.  This study demonstrates that community responses to climate extremes are not necessarily negative. The observed responses depended on the soil moisture conditions they induced, which in our experiments varied with the timing of the imposed extremes, even within the same season.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "Chemistry", "13.

However, it is unclear why gypsophiles display greater affinity to gyspeous soils than other soils. These plants are edaphic endemics, growing in alkaline soils with high Ca and S. Gypsophiles tend to show higher foliar Ca and S, lower K and, sometimes, higher Mg than non-exclusive gypsum species, named gypsovags. Our aim was to test if the unique leaf elemental signature of gypsophiles could be the result of special nutritional requirements linked to their specificity to gypseous soils. These nutritional requirements could hamper the completion of their life cycle and growth in other soil types. To test this hypothesis, we cultivated five gypsophiles and five gypsovags dominant in Spanish gypsum outcrops on gypseous and calcareous (non-gypseous) field soil for 29 months. We regularly measured growth and phenology, and differences in leaf traits, final biomass, individual seed mass, seed viability, photosynthetic assimilation and leaf elemental composition. We found all the gypsophiles studied were able to complete their life cycle in non-gypseous soil, producing viable seeds, attaining greater biomass and displaying higher photosynthetic assimilation rates than in gypseous soil. The leaf elemental composition of some species (both gypsophiles and gypsovags) shifted depending on soil, although none of them showed leaf deficiency symptoms. Regardless of soil type, gypsophiles had higher leaf S, Mg, Fe, Al, Na, Mn, Cr and lower K than gypsovags. Consequently, gypsophiles have a unique leaf chemical signature compared to gypsovags of the same family, particularly due to their high leaf S regardless of soil conditions.

A meta-analysis", "description": "Abstract   Crop rotation has been widely used to mitigate weed, insect, and pathogen pressure, as well as to increase plant diversity. However, the magnitude of and variability in crop yield with rotation in China remain uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis on 45 studies with 214 comparisons to examine the effects of crop rotation on yield and to explore the importance of environmental factors and field management in determining yield variability. Rotation increased crop yields by 20% on average when compared with continuous monoculture practices. Effects of rotation on crop yield were more pronounced in southwestern China (+38%) than in eastern China (+10%) and were notably less reliable and generally smaller in regions with moderate annual rainfall (400\u2013550\u202fmm). Rotation had greater yield benefits in soils with coarse or medium soil textures, intermediate levels of initial soil organic carbon (7\u201310\u202fg kg\u22121), and lower total nitrogen (\u2264 1.2\u202fg kg\u22121). Effect of rotation on crop yield also depends on the type of previously cultivated crops (hereinafter, pre-crops), ranging from 2% for Triticeae pre-crops to 27% for grain leguminous pre-crops. Yield increase under legume-based rotations was 14% higher than that without legumes. The mean yield response of the crop subsequent to rotation ranged from 6% (cereals, except for Triticeae crops) to 34% (root crops). The legacy benefit of rotation on subsequent crop yield persisted for 2\u20133 years, decreasing from +31% in the second year to +8% in the third year. Effect of rotation on crop yield under conventional tillage was greater than that under conservation tillage. The yield benefit of rotation on subsequent crops was much higher with a lower nitrogen fertilization rate (\u2264 120\u202fkg ha\u22121), indicating that fertilization can be reduced and an acceptable yield maintained with crop rotation. In conclusion, crop rotation largely increases agricultural production without extra inputs, although its design may need to consider diverse climates, soils, crops, and management practices to maximize its agronomic and environmental benefits.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

However, increased atmospheric N deposition over recent decades has dramatically altered nutrient cycles in many eastern forests. Given the variability of ecosystem responses to N deposition and the sensitivity of herbaceous layer vegetation to edaphic and microenvironmental conditions, changes in nutrient dynamics could have important implications for forest diversity and productivity. To better understand variations in soil N relative to understory dynamics, we sampled herbaceous layer composition and diversity across topographic gradients in managed (10-year-old aggrading) and mature (>125 years) mixed-oak stands in southeastern Ohio. Vegetation was sampled in spring and summer to capture variations in vernal and late season herb communities. Edaphic and microenvironmental conditions were characterized during these same periods, including analyses of upper mineral soil samples for total C, N, and C/N ratio. Aggrading stands showed significantly lower soil N than mature forest stands (spring = 0.145% versus 0.165%; summer = 0.146% versus 0.197%; P < 0.001). Topography influenced soil N, with greater availability on lower and north-facing slopes (P < 0.05). Across all stands, C/N was strongly correlated with herb layer composition (spring r = 0.606; summer r = 0.449) and, in mature stands, was a strong predictor of understory richness (linear regression; r 2 = 0.634; P < 0.001), particularly on poorer sites. These results emphasize that changes in soil and vegetation with increased N deposition are likely to be site-specific, even within relatively uniform systems. Understory diversity patterns on less fertile sites or in more mature forests, those systems exhibiting strongest correlations with soil C/N ratios, appear most likely to be affected, whereas edaphic limitations in vigorously growing, aggrading vegetation may be less impacted. Because herbaceous layer interactions are tightly linked to ecosystem-level nutrient dynamics and to woody seedling success, these influences have the potential to significantly alter overstory recruitment patterns and broader ecosystem responses to N deposition. # 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Krasser forests located in drier environments has been attributed to probable edaphic changes. We studied the long-term effects of wildfire on the mineralogical, physical, chemical and biological properties of a soil developed from volcanic-ashes under N. pumilio forests. Soils from six small patches burned in January 1996 and of undisturbed forest were sampled at a depth of 0-10 cm in March 1996,1997, 1998 and 2000. As biological soil indicators we assessed N in microbial biomass (N-MB) and potential N mineralization (pNmin). Chemical properties were analyzed for all 4 years in dry samples, N-BM and pNmin in rewetted samples in 1996 and 1997, and in field-moist samples in 1998 (pNmin) and 2000 (N-MB). Additionally, we measured soil moisture twice during the growing seasons of 1998 and 2000 at 0-16 cm, and mineralogical and physical properties once in 1998. The main effects of fire were: (i) a significant increase in pH, electrical conductivity, extractable P and cations (Ca, Mg, Na, K) and a significant decrease in organic C and total N; 4 years after the fire, C and N were still, respectively, 52 and 20% lower, pH was one unit higher, and electrical conductivity and extractable P were twice as high as in the unburned control; (ii) a considerable decrease in N-MB (>90%), without significant recovery in subsequent years; (iii) an increase of pNmin at the beginning of the incubation period, decreasing afterwards to only 4-44% the levels in the unburned soil; and (iv) a decrease of 31% in field capacity and 56% in soil moisture. No mineralogical changes in the amorphous soil components were observed. Although volcanic soils show a high capacity to stabilize organic matter, buffer pH, retain P and store water, the magnitude of the changes of all soil properties indicated that the intensity of the fire was very high, and might have a powerful effect on seedling emergence and survival.

Richardson (Ed.), Ecology and Biogeography of Pinus, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1998, pp. 432\u2013449]. In many areas, including the Ecuadorian Andes, these plantations have been established on former grasslands. Although this land use has grown over the past four decades in Ecuador, little is known about the effect of the change in vegetation cover on nutrient cycling in the high-altitude grassland systems where the plantations are frequently established. We examined changes in soil nitrogen, phosphorus, and acidity with stand age, using a chronosequence of stands ranging from 0 to 25 years of age. The effects of planting the grasslands with pine were most notable near the soil surface (0\u201310 cm), although in some cases changes deeper in the A horizon were also large. Total nitrogen concentrations became increasingly depleted along the chronosequence at intermediate depth (P \u00bc 0:04), while N was gained in the litter (P \u00bc 0:02) and upper-A horizon (P \u00bc 0:001) until the plantations reached 20 years, at which point it again declined. In the top 10 cm, concentrations of NO3 \ufffd increased dramatically under pine (P < 0:001), while NH4 \u00fe was lower than in grasslands (P \u00bc 0:04). Unlike nitrogen, neither total nor available phosphorus was significantly altered by the change in vegetation. Soil pH was higher in the grassland soils (5.5) than under pine stands of any age (P < 0:01), all of which had a mean pH of 5.2. Acidification under pine occurred only in the top 10 cm, with no differences in pH at other depths, indicating that it is being driven by soil processes that predominate in the near-surface environment.

In contrast to bulk soil properties, which are typically slow to respond to a chronic stress, soil solution chemistry may provide an early indication of the long-term changes in soils associated with a chronic stress. At the Harvard Forest, soil solution was collected beneath the forest floor in zero tension lysimeters for 10 years (1993\u20132002) as part of an N saturation experiment. The experiment was begun in 1988 with 5 or 15\u00a0g\u00a0N\u00a0m\u22122 per year added to hardwood and pine forest plots, and our samples thus characterize the long-term response to N fertilization. Samples were routinely analyzed for inorganic nitrogen, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC); selected samples were also analyzed to determine qualitative changes in the composition of dissolved organic matter. Fluxes of DOC, DON, and inorganic N were calculated based on modeled water loss from the forest floor and observed concentrations in lysimeter samples. The concentration and flux of inorganic N lost from the forest floor in percolating soil solution are strongly affected by N fertilization and have not shown any consistent trends over time. On average, inorganic N fluxes have reached or exceeded the level of fertilizer application in most plots. Concentrations of DOC were unchanged by N fertilization in both the hardwood and pine stands, with long-term seasonal averages ranging from 31\u201357\u00a0mg\u00a0l\u22121 (hardwood) and 36\u201393\u00a0mg\u00a0l\u22121 (pine). Annual fluxes of DOC ranged from 30\u201350\u00a0g\u00a0m\u22122 per year. DON concentrations more than doubled, resulting in a shift toward N-rich organic matter in soil solution percolating from the plots, and DON fluxes of 1\u20133\u00a0g\u00a0m\u22122 per year. The DOC:DON ratio of soil solution under high N application (10\u201320) was about half that of controls. The organic chemistry of soil solution undergoes large qualitative changes in response to N addition. With N saturation, there is proportionally more hydrophilic material in the total DON pool, and a lower C:N ratio in the hydrophobic fraction of the total DOM pool. Overall, our data show that fundamental changes in the chemistry of forest floor solution have occurred in response to N fertilization prior to initiation of our sampling. During the decade of this study (years 5\u201314 of N application) both inorganic N and dissolved organic matter concentrations have changed little despite the significant biotic changes that have accompanied N saturation.", "keywords": ["13.

Whether microbial or abiotic mechanisms are responsible for the high N retention is not well understood. We monitored soil respiration and extractable NH4N and NO3-N following monthly applications of NH4NO3 to a hardwood forest and a pine plantation during the fifth year of chronic fertilizer applications (15 g N as NH4NO3 m \ufffd 2 per year). We hypothesized that individual N applications would increase short-term soil respiration (within 1 month) in previously unamended and N-limited soil, but that little or no increase would occur following N applications to chronically N-amended soils, assumed to be carbon-limited to some degree after 5 years of N additions. Short-term soil respiration did not increase after N additions in either the chronically amended or previously untreated soils except for one instance in the latter. However, extractable N levels in both previously unamended plots returned to preapplication levels within 2 weeks of the N addition. This rapid disappearance of the applied N suggests microbial immobilization, but in all but one instance there was no accompanying CO2 efflux increase indicating increased microbial biomass growth. A model of N immobilization through microbial biomass production, driven by the observed apparent net N immobilization, predicted soil CO2 efflux 4\u201017 times greater than measured rates. Microbial biomass production does not appear to be the mechanism by which the fertilizer N immobilization occurred, according to our assumptions about microbial C:N ratios and carbon use efficiency. Hardwood stand average soil respiration rates over the study period were significantly higher in the previously unamended plot than in the control, and the control and chronically N-treated plot respiration rates were similar. Soil respiration rates for all pine stand treatments were similar. These results are insufficient to support our hypotheses concerning carbon versus nitrogen limitation in these soils. Our results, along with evidence from other studies, suggest that abiotic mechanisms play a role in the high retention of long-term N additions in these soils. # 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The Pontal do Paranapanema region, located in the western parts of the Sao Paulo state, is one of the regions where sugarcane is expected to expand on a large scale. This expansion will most likely affect small-scale dairy farmers in the region and may lead to displaced milk production. Interviews have been made with small-scale dairy farmers in areas where sugarcane has already been established. These interviews show that many farmers who substitute milk production for sugarcane production experience economic stagnation after the change. However, both systems can coexist, using sugarcane residues as high-quality cattle feed. This feed can easily be made at the ethanol mills using sugarcane residues and some additional protein and mineral supplements. Analyses indicate that the dairy farmers can increase their income ten-fold by adopting this integrated system. The increased total output and higher land-use efficiency in dairy production may counteract possible indirect land-use change. Greenhouse gas emissions per unit of milk produced as well as liter ethanol produced depend on several factors, including effects of diverting bagasse from other uses to feed production.", "keywords": ["2.
