Cessation of xylem formation or wood growth (CWG) and onset of foliar senescence (OFS) are key autumn phenological events in temperate deciduous trees. Their timing is fundamental for the development and survival of trees, ecosystem nutrient cycling and the seasonal exchange of matter and energy between the biosphere and atmosphere, and affects the impact and feedback of forests to global change. A large-scale experimental effort and improved observational methods have allowed us to compare the timing of CWG and OFS for different deciduous tree species in Western Europe, particularly in silver birch, a pioneer species, and European beech, a late-succession species, at stands of different latitudes, of different levels of site fertility, for 2 years with contrasting meteorological and drought conditions, i.e., the low moderately dry 2017 and the extremely dry 2018. Specifically, we tested whether foliar senescence started before, after or concurrently with CWG. Onset of foliar senescence and CWG occurred generally between late September and early November, with larger differences across species and sites for OFS. Foliar senescence started concurrently with CWG in most cases, except for the drier 2018 and, for beech, at the coldest site, where OFS occurred significantly later than CWG. The behavior of beech in Spain, the southern edge of its European distribution, was unclear, with no CWG, but very low wood growth at the time of OFS. Our study suggests that OFS is generally triggered by the same drivers of CWG or when wood growth decreases in late summer, indicating an overarching mechanism of sink limitation as a possible regulator of the timing of foliar senescence.

A long-term (1996-2008) field experiment was performed to investigate the role of mycorrhizal inoculation and organic fertilizers on some of soil properties of Mediterranean soils (Typic Xerofluvent, Menzilat clay-loam soil). We applied a rotation with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) as a second crop during the periods of 1996 and 2008. The study consisted of five experimental treatments; control, mineral fertilizer (300-60-150 kg N-P- Kh a \u22121 ), manure at 25 t ha \u22121 , compost at 25 t ha \u22121 and mycorrhiza-inoculated compost at 10 t ha \u22121 with three replicates.

However, compost with mycorrhizae application continued to significant increase (Pb0.05) in MWD values of soils. Organic applications significantly lowered the soil bulk density and penetration resistance. The lowest penetration resistance (PR) at 0-50 cm soil depth was obtained with mycorrhizal inoculated compost, and the highest PR was with control and mineral fertilizer applications.

Kenya to elucidate the mechanisms associated with long-term carbon storage. Specifically, we looked at a top-down model (macro-aggregates form around organic matter particles and micro-aggregates form within the macro-aggregates) and a bottom-up model (micro-aggregates form independently and are incorporated into macro-aggregates) of soil aggregate formation. Soil samples were collected from experiments on improved tree fallows using different species and two tillage treatments; water-stable aggregates were extracted and sorted into three size classes: macro-aggregates (>\u00a0212\u00a0\u03bcm), meso-aggregates (53\u2013212\u00a0\u03bcm) and micro-aggregates (20\u201353\u00a0\u03bcm). Organic matter characterization of each fraction was based on 13C isotope abundance, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and the abundance of polysaccharides. Improved fallows increased soil C by 0.28 and 0.26\u00a0kg m\u00ad2 in the top 20\u00a0cm of the soil profile in Luero and Teso, respectively. Tillage altered the distribution of aggregates among size classes. Changes in the \u03b413C signature in each fraction indicated that more of the new carbon was found in the macro-aggregates (35\u201370%) and meso-aggregates (18\u201349%) in Luero and less (9\u201317%) was found in the micro-aggregates. In Teso, about 40\u201380% of the new aggregate C was found in the meso-aggregates, 14\u201345% was found in the micro-aggregates and only 4\u201326% was found in the macro-aggregates. The meso-aggregates and macro-aggregates to a lesser extent, in both sites, were enriched in carboxylic-C and aromatic-C, indicating the importance of OM decomposition and plant-derived C in the stabilization of larger aggregates, supporting the top-down model of aggregate formation. Microbially derived polysaccharides play a leading role in the formation of stable micro-aggregates and carboxylic-C promotes stabilization through surface occlusion. This bottom-up process is essential to promote long-term carbon sequestration in soils.

Therefore, understanding the carbon and nitrogen storage accompanying plant and soil physical and chemical properties due to anthropogenic disturbance and different management strategies is important, as it can help us understand not only how ecosystem responds to its dynamics but also the restoration effects of restoration methods. In our study, we investigated carbon, nitrogen storage, plant community alterations and other soil chemical and physical properties regarding artificial grasslands with different restoration years and native grasslands with different degradation levels. We found that artificial grassland establishment significantly increased above- and belowground biomass, but the richness, diversity and evenness indexes had a decreasing trend compared with extremely degraded grasslands. Grazing also had a negative effect on plant communities and diversity indexes. The soil organic carbon (SOC) was highest in non-degraded grasslands (ND). The SOC content had decreased 21.89%, 38.30% and 43.15% with the increase of the grassland degradation compared with ND. The total nitrogen (TN) content was also higher in the ND (0.955\u00a0kg\u00b7m \u2212\u00a02 ) than in either degraded grasslands (0.908\u00a0kg\u00b7m \u2212\u00a02 , 0.786\u00a0kg\u00b7m \u2212\u00a02 , and 0.769\u00a0kg\u00b7m \u2212\u00a02 for moderately, heavily and extremely degraded, respectively). The total carbon, SOC and TN content were concentrated on the 0\u20134\u00a0cm depth, accounting for more than 50% of the total content. We also found that the soil nutrients substantially decreased with increasing restoration years. Furthermore, soil nutrients had a close relationship with plant and soil factors, as reflected by a correlation index.

The main objective was to define the element mobility in soil and potential bioavailability in relation to soil contamination levels. The Kosovska Mitrovica area is one of the main industrial sites in the former Yugoslavia and a world-class mining district in Europe. Extensive and locally very marked contamination mainly by Pb, Zn, Cd and Sb was found in soils, with the highest concentrations measured close to the Zvecan smelter. The study of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb and Zn partitioning in the water soluble, extractable with 0.11\u00a0M acetic acid, reducible, oxidable and residual fractions of soils revealed that Pb was mainly associated with the reducible fraction, Cd with the extractable and reducible fractions, and As, Cu, Sb and Zn with the residual fraction. Heavy element fractionation in contaminated soils was influenced by the presence of owner mineralogical phases related to the emissions of the Zvecan smelter and to materials windborne from mining and industrial dumps, as well as originated by in situ processes. The order of mobility of these heavy elements in contaminated soils resulted as follows: Cd\u00a0\u226b\u00a0Zn\u00a0\u226b\u00a0Pb\u00a0\u226b\u00a0Sb\u00a0>\u00a0As\u00a0>\u00a0Cu. Anthropogenic amounts of heavy elements were distributed in all soil fractions, with the most relevant enrichments in the extractable and reducible ones.

Conventional) On Soil Organic Matter Quality In Olive Groves In A Semi-Arid Environment In Sierra M\u00e1gina Natural Park (S Spain)", "description": "Open AccessOrganic matter from surface horizons of olive grove soils under organic and conventional management, compared to natural vegetation (undisturbed), on two contrasting geological substrates (colluvial limestones and marls) in a semi-arid Mediterranean area were characterized to evaluate the influence of management and soil type. Higher percentages of total carbon, total humic extract and humin fractions were observed in the organic management and undisturbed soil samples. The main qualitative functional and compositional changes induced by management were related to the aromaticity of humic acids (HA), which were lower in organically managed samples than conventional management. This may be due to continuous effective incorporation of alkyl compounds from spontaneous vegetation, which would explain its typical lignin patterns and higher E4/E6 ratios (visible spectra absorbance to 465 and 665nm). The main qualitative changes affecting organic matter were induced by the geological substrate (soil type). Soil samples from marls had a lower humic to fulvic acids ratio, and their HA were more aliphatic (with respect to the 2920cm-1 infrared band) and more intense with organic management. These samples also had well-defined amide and carbohydrate infrared bands (labile compounds) and lower E4 optical density. These results showed less efficient biodegradation of aliphatic components. On the contrary, greater decomposition of organic matter was detected in the HA fraction from colluvial limestones, which was transformed into more stable and evolved forms of humus. This may be due to overlapping of current soil management and its biogenic background, representative of the original soil in this area, where pedogenic development is more intense. Characteristics of soil organic matter in the undisturbed soil were between conventional and organic management, which shows how difficult it is to find natural, well-conserved soil to serve as a reference in the agricultural context studied. Our findings reveal that more sustainable soil management and development of management practices more in harmony with the original evolution of the soil and its relationship to the parent material are especially important in this area. \u00a9 2011 Elsevier B.V.", "keywords": ["2.

The objectives of this paper are to present in-situ respiration data from five remote sites along a climatic gradient in the Kalahari of Botswana and to determine the effects of temperature, moisture and biological crust cover on soil CO2 fluxes. Moisture was the primary limiting factor to efflux which increased with amount of simulated rainfall. On dry soils, mean CO2 efflux was between 1.5 and 5.9 mg C m\u2212 2 h\u2212 1. After 2 mm and 50 mm simulated wetting, mean rates increased to 4.0 to 21.8 and 8.6 to 41.5 mg C m\u2212 2 h\u2212 1 respectively. Once wet, soil CO2 efflux increases with temperature, and sites at the hotter northern end of the transect lost more CO2 than cooler southerly sites. Net respiration rates are, however, muted by autotrophic organisms in biological soil crusts which photosynthesise and take up CO2. The temperature sensitivity of soil CO2 efflux increased with moisture. Dry, 2 mm and 50 mm treated soils had a Q10 of 1.1, 1.5 and 1.95 respectively.

The nutrient management regimes employed in the study were organic nutrient management (ONM), chemical nutrient management (CNM) and integrated nutrient management (INM). ONM involved organic manures (farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, neem cake, ash) and biofertilizers ( Azospirillum lipoferum and Bacillus phosphaticum var megaterium ), CNM involved exclusive use of chemical sources of NPK and INM involved a combination of chemical sources of NPK\u00a0+\u00a0FYM. The study also included a control where no fertilizers, whatsoever, were applied. The variables studied were soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic-C (DOC) and -N (DON), microbial biomass-C (C MIC ), -N (N MIC ) and -P (P MIC ), net N mineralized (N MIN ), soil respiration (SR) and activities of dehydrogenase (DHA), acid phosphatase (Ac-P), \u03b2-glucosidase (\u03b2G), urease (UR) and arylsulphatase (AS). Various ratios of these biochemical/microbial indices viz ., DOC:DON, C MIC :SOC (Q MIC ), C MIC :N MIC , SR:C MIC (metabolic quotient, qCO 2 ) were also examined. The influence of nutrient management regimes was most evident on SOC, DOC, DON, soil microbial and biochemical properties. The levels of SOC and DOC were significantly greater in ONM and INM compared to CNM and control. Conversely, DON level was markedly higher under CNM compared to ONM and INM. CNM also positively influenced N MIC but decreased C MIC , P MIC and SR levels. N MIN followed an identical trend as microbial biomass and SR; being greatest in INM and ONM. Likewise, the DOC:DON, C MIC :SOC (Q MIC ) and C MIC :N MIC ratios were greatest in ONM and least in CNM. Contrarily, higher qCO 2 in CNM and control suggested microbial communities which are energetically less efficient with high maintenance C requirement. Results on enzyme activities revealed that not all the treatments affected the enzyme activities to the same degree. The activities of DH, Ac-P and \u03b2G were in the order ONM\u00a0>\u00a0INM\u00a0>\u00a0CNM, while the activities of UR and AS were in the order CNM\u00a0>\u00a0INM\u00a0>\u00a0ONM.

And Changes In Soil Organic Carbon In Ohio", "description": "Abstract Growing switchgrass (Panicum virgatum, L.), a promising bioenergy crop, needs finely-tuned nitrogen (N) fertilization to improve biomass yields depending on soil types and site characteristics. N fertilization can also affect the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the effects of N fertilization on switchgrass biomass production and the SOC stock in Ohio. Switchgrass was established at three research stations (Northwest, Jackson, and Western sites) of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) in spring 2004. N fertilizer was applied at four different rates (0, 50, 100, and 200\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha\u22121) in 2008 and 2009. Aboveground and root biomass and the carbon (C) and N concentrations in plant tissues, SOC concentrations up to 30\u00a0cm depth were measured at the end of the growing season in 2009. Aboveground biomass at the Western site was the highest as 26\u00a0Mg\u00a0ha\u22121 with 200\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha\u22121 application, but there were no significant effects of N fertilization on aboveground biomass at two other sites and on root biomass across all sites. The amount of N export due to harvesting aboveground biomass increased with increase in N rates but did not vary among sites. With increasing N rates, the SOC stock linearly increased from 102 to 123 and from 55 to 70\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha\u22121 at the Northwest and the Jackson sites, respectively. However, this positive correlation was not observed for the Western site (a range of 59 to 67\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha\u22121). This study showed a potential of growing switchgrass as a bioenergy crop in Ohio and positive responses of the SOC stock to N fertilization.", "keywords": ["2.

Unfortunately, optimal sampling of the rangelands for baseline C(s) - the critical first step towards efficient monitoring - has received relatively little attention to date. Moreover, in the rangelands of tropical Australia relatively little is known about how C(s) is influenced by the practice of cattle grazing. To address these issues we used linear mixed models to: (i) unravel how grazing pressure (over a 12-year period) and soil type have affected C(s) and the stable carbon isotope ratio of soil organic carbon (delta(13)C) (a measure of the relative contributions of C(3) and C(4) vegetation to C(s)); (ii) examine the spatial covariation of C(s) and delta(13)C; and, (iii) explore the amount of soil sampling required to adequately determine baseline C(s). Modelling was done in the context of the material coordinate system for the soil profile, therefore the depths reported, while conventional, are only nominal. Linear mixed models revealed that soil type and grazing pressure interacted to influence C(s) to a depth of 0.3 m in the profile. At a depth of 0.5 m there was no effect of grazing on C(s), but the soil type effect on C(s) was significant. Soil type influenced delta(13)C to a soil depth of 0.5 m but there was no effect of grazing at any depth examined. The linear mixed model also revealed the strong negative correlation of C(s) with delta(13)C, particularly to a depth of 0.1 m in the soil profile. This suggested that increased C(s) at the study site was associated with increased input of C from C(3) trees and shrubs relative to the C(4) perennial grasses; as the latter form the bulk of the cattle diet, we contend that C sequestration may be negatively correlated with forage production. Our baseline C(s) sampling recommendation for cattle-grazing properties of the tropical rangelands of Australia is to: (i) divide the property into units of apparently uniform soil type and grazing management; (ii) use stratified simple random sampling to spread at least 25 soil sampling locations about each unit, with at least two samples collected per stratum. This will be adequate to accurately estimate baseline mean C(s) to within 20% of the true mean, to a nominal depth of 0.3 m in the profile.", "keywords": ["2.

We investigated the effects of cattle trampling on soil physical, chemical and microbial properties in a Swiss sub-alpine pasture. About 10% of the study site was bare of vegetation as a result of repeated cattle trampling and the bulk density of these bare steps was 20% higher than of the soils unaffected by trampling. In the upper 25\u00a0cm, soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations and total SOC stocks were 35% and 20% respectively lower than on the vegetated slope. As compared with the vegetated slope, topsoils of the bare steps featured narrower C:N-ratios and were more enriched in the 15 N isotope, with typical values of deeper soil layers. This indicates that bare soils primarily evolved by erosion and not by a compaction, which might, together with the reduced litter input, explain the lower SOC contents. The abundances of soil microbes, estimated by the concentrations of phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), were 30% smaller in the bare soils than in the vegetated areas. This depletion was most pronounced for fungi as expressed in the lower concentrations of the fatty acid 18:2\u03c96.9 (45%) and ergosterol (50%). The lower fungal abundance very likely has negative consequences for the stability of the bare soils, since fungi play an important role in the formation of soil aggregates. In summary, our results show that cattle trampling decreases soil carbon storage and alters soil microbial community structure.", "keywords": ["2.

In this study we have evaluated post-fire patterns of soil phosphorus (P) availability and transformation rates in a Mediterranean shrubland subjected to different drought treatments. Precipitation was manipulated in various treatments to evaluate the combined effects of fire and moisture in the soil. The following treatments were included: long-term historical average precipitation, or historical control (HC); moderate drought (MD, 25% reduction from HC); severe drought (SD, 45% reduction from HC); and environmental control without rainfall manipulation (EC). In late summer, these plots were burned in order to evaluate the joint effects of drought and fire. In order to compare burned and non-burned scenarios, unburned plots were maintained without rainfall manipulation. Post-fire soil samples, collected in the spring, were analyzed for P fractions, P transformation rates (net solubilization and immobilization, gross mineralization) and phosphatase activity. Mid- to high-intensity fire caused a short-term increase of rapid-to-mid turnover inorganic P pools in the soil, as well as a decline of rapid turnover organic P pools (including microbial P) and acid phosphatase activity. Fire also induced an overall rise in the flux among P pools, including gross P mineralization, net microbial immobilization and net geochemical solubilization, with the latter being the most affected. Moreover, under drier than average conditions, this \u2018mineralizing\u2019 effect of fire was partially (rapid turn over inorganic P, total P flux among pools and net solubilisation) or completely (net immobilization) offset. Thus, our results indicate that a drier environment will limit the extent of post-fire peak in soil P availability. This effect may act synergistically with increased water stress to further inhibit vegetation recovery after fire, possibility which is particularly relevant for fire-prone Mediterranean shrublands where P limitation is widespread.", "keywords": ["2.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in seasonal N 2 O emissions between interrow soil and interrow\u00a0+\u00a0row soil, and to understand the effect of different fertilizers on N 2 O emissions in a maize-cultivated sandy loam soil in the North China Plain. The experiment included five treatments: organic manure (OM), half-organic manure N plus half fertilizer N (HOM), fertilizer NPK (NPK), fertilizer NK (NK) and control (CK). Cumulative N 2 O emission from interrow\u00a0+\u00a0row soil during the maize growth season was 0.84\u20131.22\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 with an average of 0.98\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 in the N-fertilized treatments, significantly higher than the 0.30\u20130.49\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 from interrow soil. However, no significant difference was observed in the CK treatment. The measurement in interrow soil underestimated N 2 O emissions by 44\u201367%. This difference mainly occurred at the two peak emission periods following fertilizer application probably due to discrepancy in soil denitrification potential. Manure application more efficiently increased difference in N 2 O emission between interrow soil and interrow\u00a0+\u00a0row soil than inorganic N fertilizer application. The higher NO 3 \u2212 concentration did not induce larger N 2 O emission from interrow soil in the NK treatment than in the NPK treatment, but did from interrow\u00a0+\u00a0row soil, resulting in greater difference in N 2 O emission between interrow soil and interrow\u00a0+\u00a0row soil. It is suggested that measuring N 2 O emission solely from interrow soil could underestimate seasonal N 2 O emissions, and partly mask the effect of N fertilizer application rates on N 2 O emission in a maize-cultivated soil in the North China Plain.", "keywords": ["2.

Each year, catch crops were sown at the beginning of August and ploughed three months later in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Then the main crop \u2013 spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) \u2013 was grown in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Soil samples were taken twice a year, in spring before spring wheat sowing (March or April) and in summer, immediately after the harvest. In March (April 2006) organic carbon (C ORG ) and available potassium (K AVAIL ) did not show significant changes as influenced by catch crops. Total nitrogen (N TOT ) content was significantly lower in control soil than in catch crop treatments, while the concentration of available P (P AVAIL ) behaved in the opposite way. N fertilization rates did not significantly affect the chemical properties of soil without catch crops (C) (with the exception of Mg AVAIL concentration). In contrast, the chemical properties did not show clear tendencies depending on N fertilization in soil with field pea or oilseed radish. Significantly higher soil enzymatic activities were observed in the catch crops treatment than in the control (C). The studied enzymes also showed a significantly higher activity in the FP than in the OR when both catch crops were compared (with the exception of ADA and P AL activities in August and GLU activity in March (April 2006)). Both P AC and P AL as well as GLU, ADA and NR activities were always higher in August than in March (April 2006), while UR (with the exception of 2007) behaved in a reverse manner. The enzyme activities were 10\u201326% lower at a rate of 160\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 \u00a0year \u2212\u00a01 compared to the highest activity noted in the case of a rate of 40 and/or 80\u00a0kg\u00a0N\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 \u00a0year \u2212\u00a01 with the exception of UR activity, which was unaffected by N fertilization rates. Cultivation of catch crops for so-called green manure can be useful management practice for enhancing soil biological activity as evaluated by enzymatic activity.

A long-term (26 years) tillage experiment in northeast China examined no-tillage (NT), plowing tillage (PT) and deep loosing (DL). The soil samples (from a depth of 0-20 cm) were wet-sieved into five aggregate classes (1000-2000 mu m, 500-1000 mu m, 250-500 mu m, 50-250 mu m, and 250 mu m) were assessed by CPMAS C-13 NMR. Macro-aggregates contained more SOC concentration than micro-aggregates. However, PT resulted in a greater SOC concentration in 50-500 mu m aggregates. NT and DL increased the active C and decreased the slow C in 500-1000 mu m aggregates, whereas PT showed the inverse. The C-13 NMR spectrum demonstrated that NT increased alkyl-C content, PT obtained a higher carbonyl-C concentration, and DL gained a greater O-alkyl-C concentration. Moreover, evaluating the impacts of tillage systems on the complexity revealed that the most complicated structure was presented in NT, the least in PT, whereas DL had an intermediate effect. Active C contains C2-C6 carbohydrate and anomeric C (Cl) polysaccharides, slow c consists of aldehyde-C, ketonic-C and quinone-C, and the passive C is enriched in aromatic-C.

Therefore, a field debris exclusion experiment and a laboratory debris addition experiment were conducted to assess the response of soil CO2 efflux to C input manipulation. Our experiments were the first to be conducted in a subtropical Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantation. The field debris exclusion experiment included the following treatments: leaf litter exclusion (NL), leaf litter and root exclusion (NLR), and control (CT). In the laboratory experiment, leaf litter and fine and coarse roots were added to soils collected from the same site and incubated for 100\u00a0days at 15.0\u00a0\u00b0C using the isotopic partitioning approach to determine the priming effect on soil C. The field-experimental results showed that soil CO2 efflux decreased significantly by 22.9% and 49.1% in the NL and NLR plots, respectively, compared with the CT plots. However, debris exclusion did not affect the diurnal and seasonal patterns of soil CO2 efflux. The contributions of leaf litter and roots to total soil CO2 efflux were 22.9% and 26.2%, respectively, which were positively related to soil temperature and moisture. In the laboratory experiment, the cumulative amount of soil CO2 efflux increased 1.25, 0.51, and 0.43 times in the soils with leaf litter, fine root, and coarse root additions, respectively, compared with the control soil (without debris addition) at the end of the incubation period. The amount of CO2 derived from leaf litter, fine root, and coarse root additions accounted for 44.0%, 31.1%, and 27.9% of the total amount of soil CO2 efflux, respectively. During the experimental period, the priming effect induced by fast-decomposing leaf litter (25.9%) was significantly higher than the priming effect induced by slow-decomposing fine roots (3.8%) and coarse roots (2.9%). The priming effect was negatively correlated with the initial lignin content and the lignin:N ratios of the added debris. The similar contributions of leaf litter and roots to soil CO2 efflux from the field experiment and the greater contributions of the priming of leaf litters to the fluxes from the laboratory experiment suggest that root inputs are more important than litter inputs in regulating soil C storage in Chinese fir forests.", "keywords": ["2.

Restoration of former agricultural wetlands often requires severe measures including removal nutrient-enriched soil followed by natural succession involving changes in nutrient storages and transformations. The focus of this study was to assess changes in biogeochemical parameters during the early stages of soil development following complete soil removal in a calcareous subtropical wetland. Results indicated that significant changes occur in the first 16\u00a0years including increased soil depth, accumulation of organic matter, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Early development of soils showed a shift from initial N limitation towards a state of co-limitation by N and P after 16\u00a0years. Functional responses of these changes were determined by monitoring the microbe-driven processes (enzyme activities and soil oxygen demand) with respect to the nutrient changes. Soil \u03b2-glucosidase activity increased in the first few years and then declined with age of the soils. Alkaline phosphatase activity was inversely correlated to the P concentration in soils. When compared with an undisturbed reference site, these parameters indicate that N processes recover more rapidly than those of P and C, but functional attributes related to P limitation should begin to mimic restored conditions within the next century.", "keywords": ["2.

The lineage is characterized by a conservative and singular body plan within Carabidae that contrasts with a high morphological diversity in many traits. We provide an exhaustive phylogeny of the lineage through the study of 92 morphological characters from all 62 described species and 45 potential new species from 70 additional populations, and the combination of morphological and available molecular data, in the first total evidence phylogenetic approach for a highly diverse endogean lineage. We tracked the evolution of morphological traits over the obtained phylogenies. Results suggest eight morphologically distinct clades, which do not correspond to the species groups proposed formerly. Ancestral state reconstructions and phylogenetic signal analyses of morphological traits revealed that some of the previously key characters to the classification ofTyphlocharis, such as the umbilicate series or the apical denticles of elytra, are highly homoplasic, whereas other characters show stronger phylogenetic signal, including structures in the antennae, gula, pronotum and last abdominal ventrite. This evidence supports the split ofTyphlocharisinto three genera:Lusotyphlusgen. nov.;TyphlocharisDieck, 1869 andMicrocharidiusCoiffait, 1969 (revalidated), forming the subtribe Typhlocharina Jeanne, 1973. 0.06), in which the OPF was significantly greater than the YPF (P < 0.001). The cracks area density, however, was lower in the OPF (3.66%) than in the YPF (5.13%). This discrepancy can be explained by more swelling clay content and higher soil organic matter in the OPF but greater AFD intensity in the YPF. As a result, the YPF showed higher water percolation as compared with the OPF.

Short-term soil incubations (29\u00a0days) were used to investigate the effects of agriculturally relevant biochar applications from two contrasting feedstocks and temperatures on CO 2 and N 2 O emissions from a fertile agricultural soil amended with different types of fertilizer (organic and synthetic). In addition, the effects of biochar on the denitrification process were examined using an acetylene based method to ascertain N 2 O and N 2 emissions during denitrification. Complementary incubation experiments without soil (biochar and biochar with compost) examined the impact on natural or amended organic matter (compost) and biochar stability and surface chemistry were also investigated. Batch incubations (25\u00a0\u00b0C) of biochar (softwood pyrolyzed at 410\u00a0\u00b0C [WF 410 ] and 510\u00a0\u00b0C [WF 510 ] and walnut shell pyrolyzed at 900\u00a0\u00b0C [WA 900 ]) amended soils were performed to determine emissions of CO 2 and N 2 O due to complete (absence of acetylene [C 2 H 2 ]) and incomplete denitrification (presence of C 2 H 2 ). Similarly, GHG emissions from the complementary incubations were also measured. Concurrent biochar surface compositional changes were investigated with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Biochar effects on CO 2 emissions were not significantly different from controls. WA 900 biochar (high pH) affects N cycling resulting in significantly higher emissions of N 2 O under conditions of complete denitrification and of N 2 under conditions examining incomplete denitrification. WF 410 (highest H/C ratio and lowest surface area) treatments with compost resulted in higher GHGs emissions which is attributed to a priming effect of the compost organic matter (COM). In addition, WF 410 was most susceptible to degradation, evident from infrared spectroscopic analysis of the biochars. Although these results suggest that not all biochars provide substantial benefits as a soil amendment, the data do demonstrate potential for development of biochars with beneficial impacts on GHG emission mitigation and enhancement of soil C stocks.", "keywords": ["2.

Soil EOC and EON pools were measured using KCl and hot water extractions, and microbial metabolic activities were measured using MicroResp. Results showed that warming had no effects on EOC, EON and microbial biomass C (MBC) and N (MBN) in the two extracts as well as the ratio of MBC to MBN at the two depths, but increased precipitation significantly increased MBC, MBN, EON and microbial quotient at the 0\u201310\u00a0cm depth. Warming significantly decreased microbial metabolic activities at both soil depths, but significantly increased microbial metabolic diversity (H) and evenness (E) at the 10\u201320\u00a0cm depth. Increased precipitation significantly decreased microbial metabolic activities, but significantly increased H and E at the two depths. Warming and increased precipitation significantly interacted to affect microbial metabolic activities at the two depths as well as H and E at the 10\u201320\u00a0cm depth. Redundancy analysis determined that microbial quotient, i.e., the ratio of MBC to total C, pH and NH 4 + \u2013N greatly accounted for the variances in the soil microbial metabolic profiles, but the ratio of EOC to EON, moisture and microbial quotient largely accounted for the variances in the soil microbial metabolic profiles specifically at the 10\u201320\u00a0cm depth, implying that microbial physiology such as microbial quotient rather than the amounts of labile organic C and N pools exerted more influence on driving the patterns of microbial metabolic profiles.

The CSOC pool was almost constant throughout the soil profile and represented, across land uses, 7.2\u00a0g\u00a0C\u00a0kg \u2212\u00a01 at the PG and 3.1\u00a0g\u00a0C\u00a0kg \u2212\u00a01 at the LRV sites. At the PG site, the HWEOC and CTPS concentrations in the 0\u20135\u00a0cm depth decreased by 56% (1.21\u00a0g\u00a0kg \u2212\u00a01 ) and 45% (7.21\u00a0g\u00a0kg \u2212\u00a01 ) in CT soil, respectively. At the LRV site, concentrations of HWEOC and CTPS in the 0\u20135\u00a0cm depth decreased by 50% (0.4\u00a0g\u00a0kg \u2212\u00a01 ) and 42% (4.8\u00a0g\u00a0kg \u2212\u00a01 ), respectively. In contrast, concentrations of HWEOC and CTPS fractions in soil under NT in the 0\u201320\u00a0cm depth were closer than those under NV, and exhibited a distinct gradient from surface to sub-soil layers. The adoption of CT reduced POC by 46% (4.7\u00a0Mg\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 ), and MAOC by 21% (15.1\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 ) in the 0\u201320\u00a0cm depth at the PG site. Using CT for 23\u00a0years at the LRV site, decreased SOC fractions in the 0\u201320\u00a0cm depth at the rate of 0.25 and 0.34\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 \u00a0yr \u2212\u00a01 for POC and MAOC, respectively. In contrast, adoption of intensive NT systems in tropical agro-ecoregions increased POC at the rate of 0.23 to 0.36\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 \u00a0yr \u2212\u00a01 , and MAOC by 0.52 and 0.70\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 \u00a0yr \u2212\u00a01 . An important effect to be emphasized is the possibility of recovering, at least partially, the SOC fractions by adopting high biomass-C inputs under NT management, and despite the fact that the experimental duration at the LRV site was only eight years. With a high and diversified input of biomass-C in intensive NT systems, higher resilience index was observed for CTPS, HWEOC, and MAOC. The variation in SOC among CT and NT systems was mainly attributed to the MAOC fraction, indicating that a significant proportion of that fraction is relatively labile, and that spatial inaccessibility of SOC plays a significant role in the restoration of SOC.", "keywords": ["P33 - Chimie et physique du sol", "F07 - Fa\u00e7ons culturales", "P36 - \u00c9rosion", " conservation et r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration des sols", "2.

Ash properties depend on vegetation type, amount of fuel and fire intensity. The ash layer controls the post-fire soil hydrologic response, but little is known about the effect of ash thickness and ash type on infiltration, which is relevant for post-fire runoff and soil losses and for ecosystems rehabilitation and restoration. This paper analyses the role of i) ash type (black or white), ii) thickness (5, 15 and 30\u00a0mm-thick) and iii) temporal variation (0, 15 and 40\u00a0days) under three simulated rain events (55\u00a0mm for 1\u00a0h) on soil surface hydrology. The rainfall was simulated on 0.25\u00a0m2 plots, and time to ponding, runoff and runoff discharge were measured. The infiltration rates, the initial infiltration rate (f0), the steady-state infiltration rate (fc), and the infiltration decay factor (k), were calculated and the Horton infiltration equation applied. The results show that soils covered with white ash doubled the runoff rates of soils covered with black ash. In general, runoff decreases as the ash thickness increases and the runoff decreases with the number of rainfall events after the fire in plots covered with white ash. Ponding time and k are positively correlated by the ash thickness and f0 and fc are correlated by the rainfall events (in three runs). Ash type and ash depth are key factors on the soil hydrology after a wildfire.", "keywords": ["13.

The objective of this study is to assess the long-term cumulative effects of change in land-use type on some soil properties in the continental lowland ecosystems of Western Serbia. Three adjacent land-use types (deciduous forest, natural grassland and arable soils that have been converted from forests for more than 100\u00a0years) were chosen for the study. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were collected from nine sites at each of the three different land-use types from the depths of 0\u201310, 10\u201320 and 20\u201330\u00a0cm in noncarbonated Fluvisol. Conversion of forest to grassland and arable soil has led to significant decrease in total porosity (TP), infiltration rate (IR) and soil organic matter (SOM). The bulk density (BD) was lower in forest compared to the adjacent grassland and arable (ex-forest) soils. In addition, microaggregate stability, determined by the clay dispersion ratio (CDR) and aggregated silt and clay (ASC) indices, was significantly higher in forest than in grassland and arable soil. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that removal of permanent vegetation in the conversion process from forest and grassland areas to cultivated land may lead to loss of soil productivity and serious soil degradation. Obviously, there is a need for greater attention to developing sustainable land use practices in management of these ecosystems to prevent further degradation of soils in the region.", "keywords": ["2.

We determined the LLWR for long-term tillage and cropping system experiments on an Argiustoll in the central U.S. Great Plains. The tillage (46\u00a0years) experiment consisted of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)\u2013sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Soil water retention curves, penetration resistance curves and bulk density were determined for the 0 to 5\u00a0cm and 5 to 10\u00a0cm depths to compute the LLWR. Mean LLWR did not differ among tillage systems for the 0 to 5\u00a0cm depth, but it was higher in RT and CT than in NT for the 5 to 10\u00a0cm depth. Mean LLWR was higher for WW than for WSF and WF in RT at both depths, but it did not differ in NT. Across cropping systems, LLWR in RT was greater than in NT by 1.2 times for the 0 to 5\u00a0cm and by 4.7 times for the 5 to 10\u00a0cm depth. Analysis of the upper and lower limits of the LLWR suggested that aeration and penetration resistance were plant-growth limiting factors in both experiments. Both tillage and cropping systems were associated with a narrow LLWR, which may reflect the limited water availability in this semiarid region. Overall, the LLWR was a useful indicator of the soil physical condition for plant growth under these long-term tillage and cropping systems and indicated that RT may produce the best soil seedbed in the central Great Plains.", "keywords": ["2.

The objective of this study was to investigate to what extent the addition of corn stover (CS) and biochars produced from the pyrolysis of corn stover feedstock (CS) at 350 and 550 degrees C temperatures (CS-350, CS-550) affected aggregate stability, volumetric water content (theta(V)), bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and soil water repellency of specific soils. Organic amendments (CS, CS-350, CS-550) were incorporated into a Typic Fragiaqualf (TK) and a Typic Hapludand (EG) soils at the rate of 7.18 t C ha(-1), which corresponded to 17.3, 11.3 and 10.0 t biochar ha(-1) for the CS, CS-350 and CS-550 treatments, respectively. After 295 d of incubation (1295), soils were sampled as (i) undisturbed samples for bulk density and Ks; and (ii) mildly disturbed samples for theta(V) (at -15, -1, -0.3, -0.1, -0.08, -0.06, -0.04, and -0.02 bar), aggregate stability and soil water repellency. The theta(V) at time 0 (TO) was also determined at -15, -1 and -0.3 matric potentials for the different treatments. Biochar application significantly increased (P l 0.05) aggregate stability of both soils, the effect of CS-550 biochar being more prominent in the TK soil than that in the EG soil, and the reverse pattern being observed for the CS-350 biochar. Biochar application increased the By at each matric potential although the effect was not always significant (P l 0.05) and was generally more evident in the TK soil than that in the EG soil, at both T0 and T295. Biochar addition significantly (P l 0.05) increased the macroporosity (e.g., increase in theta(V) at -0.08 to 0 bar) in the TK soil and also the mesoporosity in the EG soil (e.g., increase in theta(V) from -1 to -0.1 bar). Both biochars significantly increased (P l 0.05) the Ks of the TIC soil, but only CS-350 biochar significantly increased (P l 0.05) the Ks in the EG soil. Biochar was not found to increase the water repellency of these soils. Overall results suggest that these biochars may facilitate drainage in the poorly drained TIC soil. However, the present results are biochar-, dose- and soil-specific. More research is needed to determine changes produced in other biochar, dose and soil combination, especially under field conditions. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.", "keywords": ["2.

Despite the great interest in the effect of no-tillage (NT) management practice on carbon sequestration, the long-term effect of NT practice on soil organic carbon and its fractions in northern China remain unclear. We evaluated the long-term effects (after 17\u00a0years) of NT and conventional tillage (CT) practices on soil organic carbon and its fractions at different depths ranging from 0 to 60\u00a0cm using a cinnamon soil in Shanxi, China. A randomised block design with three replications was used to evaluate both the tillage and its effects on the yield performance of winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). After 17\u00a0years, the soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration in the NT soil was greater than that of the CT soil, but only in the layer that was located between 0 and 10\u00a0cm. There was a significant accumulation of SOC (0\u201360\u00a0cm) in the NT soil (50.2\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 ) compared to that observed in the CT soil (46.3\u00a0Mg\u00a0C\u00a0ha \u2212\u00a01 ). The particulate organic matter C (POM-C), dissolved organic C (DOC), and microbial biomass C (MBC) levels in the 0\u20135\u00a0cm layer under NT treatment were 155%, 232%, and 63% greater, respectively, compared to the CT treatment. The POM-C, DOC, and MBC in the 5\u201310\u00a0cm layer under NT treatment were 67%, 123%, and 63% greater, respectively, compared to the CT treatment. Below 10\u00a0cm, the labile carbon observed in the NT treatment did not differ from that of the CT treatment. Significantly positive correlations were observed between the SOC and the labile organic C fractions. Moreover, the winter wheat ( T. aestivum L.) yield increased 28.9% in the NT treatment compared to the CT treatment.

It is not fully understood how long term addition of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) through biomass, farm yard manure (FYM) and inorganic fertilizers are distributed in soil aggregates in a tropical rice\u2013rice system. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate the long-term effects of FYM and inorganic fertilizer in a rice\u2013rice system on (i) distribution of water stable aggregates in the soil, and (ii) amount of total soil organic carbon (TOC), total N and C/N ratio in different aggregate fractions. The total water stable aggregates (WSA) ranged from 71.6% under control to 91.1% under NPK\u00a0+\u00a0FYM in the surface soil (0\u201315\u00a0cm). The incorporation of FYM increased the macroaggregates (5\u20132\u00a0mm) by 165.3% and mesoaggregates by 130.7% (2\u20131\u00a0mm) and 282.8% (1\u20130.5\u00a0mm) over control in 0\u201315\u00a0cm soil layer. Mean weight diameter (MWD), varied from 0.43 to 0.78 in 0\u201315\u00a0cm and from 0.40 to 0.72 in 15\u201330\u00a0cm soil layer. MWD was higher under FYM treated plots than inorganic fertilizer alone and unfertilized control plots. Irrespective of treatment, macroaggregates (5\u20132\u00a0mm) had the highest (4.13\u201314.03\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u2212\u00a01) and microaggregate fraction (0.25\u20130.1\u00a0mm) had the least (3.70\u20138.89\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u2212\u00a01) TOC content in the 0\u201315\u00a0cm soil layer. The application of FYM either alone or in combination with inorganic fertilizers significantly increased the accumulation of TOC in all aggregate fractions over control, however, the effect was more pronounced in macroaggregates fraction 5\u20132\u00a0mm and microaggregate fraction 0.1\u20130.053\u00a0mm. The combined application of inorganic fertilizers and FYM resulted in an increase in total N content which ranged from 0.43 to 1.0\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u2212\u00a01 in 5\u20132\u00a0mm and from 0.09 to 0.44\u00a0g\u00a0kg\u2212\u00a01 in 0.25\u20130.1\u00a0mm aggregate fractions.

A higher C:N ratio was observed in 15\u201330\u00a0cm than 0\u201315\u00a0cm soil layer.

The objective of our study was to determine the longer and short-term impacts of three different tillage treatments (conventional tillage, mulch tillage and no-tillage) on water stable aggregate size distribution. Soils from three sites with long-term tillage trials on loess soils in Germany, planted with sugar beet followed by two years of winter wheat, were sampled in 0\u20135\u00a0cm, 5\u201325\u00a0cm and 25\u201340\u00a0cm depth in April 2010 (wheat stand on all sites), September 2011 (before tillage, after wheat harvest or in the sugar beet), November 2011 (bare soil after tillage or after tillage and sowing of winter wheat) and April 2012 (bare soil or wheat stand). Generally, the soils under no tillage and mulch tillage showed higher yields of macro-aggregates and carbon contents of macro-aggregates in 0\u20135\u00a0cm soil depth than under conventional tillage for all sampling dates, probably mainly due to litter accumulation in the topsoil under reduced tillage treatments. Tillage in November 2011 showed no effect on macro-aggregate yield in comparison to earlier sampling in September 2011. This suggests that either the physical impact of the mouldboard plough did not markedly affect macro-aggregate dynamics or that high macro-aggregate rebuilding rates due to litter incorporation and soil mixing under conventional tillage counterbalanced the physical impact. In 0\u20135\u00a0cm soil depth the carbon content of the micro-aggregates within macro-aggregates was higher under reduced tillage treatments, indicating accelerated macro-aggregate turnover under conventional tillage. In contrast, it was lower in 5\u201325\u00a0cm under no tillage and 25\u201340\u00a0cm under mulch tillage and no tillage than under conventional tillage. Overall, the pattern of yields of macro-aggregates and carbon contents within macro-aggregates over time and depth suggests that the interaction of soil disturbance and litter incorporation of the different tillage treatments created a steady state in terms of macro-aggregate turnover within the different tillage treatments.", "keywords": ["2.
