Short-term Effects of Tillage Practices on Organic Carbon in Clay Loam Soil of Northeast China

Soil changes after 3-15 years of fertilized leguminous pastures on Tindall clay loam soil at Katherine, N.T. were studied by comparison of leguminous pasture soils with their native counterparts. Soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, C/N ratio and pH were unchanged by the presence of Townsville stylo (Stylosanthes humilis). Available phosphorus (bicarbonate extraction) was significantly higher under legume pasture, reflecting its fertilizer history, but there was no pattern of increase with time, nor with quantity of fertilizer. Available nitrogen (boiling water extraction) was higher under legume pasture, and both the absolute value under legume pasture and the change in amount were correlated significantly with the age of the pasture. Available nitrogen after three years of legume pasture was equal to that under unimproved pasture, suggesting that gains in this period merely balanced losses during clearing and establishment.

Limited research exists on legacy effects of land application of feedlot manure on accumulation, redistribution, and leaching potential of water-extractable organic carbon (WEOC) in soil profiles. We sampled a clay loam soil at six depths (0–1.50 m) 2 yr after the last application (2014) of 17 continuous annual manure applications (since 1998). The amendment treatments were stockpiled (SM) or composted (CM) feedlot manure containing straw (ST) or wood-chip (WD) bedding at three application rates (13, 39, and 77 Mg ha−1dry basis). There was also an unamended control (CON) and inorganic fertilizer (IN) treatment. The soil samples were analyzed for concentrations of WEOC. The total mass or accumulation of WEOC in the soil profile was greater (P ≤ 0.05) by 1.2–3.3 times for the CM-ST-77 treatment than 12 of 14 other treatments, and it was significantly greater for amended than CON or IN treatments. The total WEOC mass was 14%–20% greater for CM-ST than CM-WD, SM-ST, and SM-WD treatments, and it was 16%–22% greater for CM than SM at the 39 and 77 Mg ha−1rates. The 77 Mg ha−1rate of the four manure type-bedding treatments had the significantly greatest (by 37%–527%) concentrations of WEOC at the six depths compared with other treatments, suggesting greater redistribution and leaching potential. Significant manure effects occurred on soil WEOC 2 yr after the manure was last applied following 17 continuous applications, and it indicated an increased risk of leaching potential at the higher application rate.

Short Term Effects

There are few studies conducted on the short-term effects of land leveling on soil water holding capacity. The objectives of this study were to analyze the short-term effects of land leveling on the magnitudes, variances, spatial variability, and distributions of surface (0–20 cm) and subsurface (20–40 cm) soil properties of bulk density, field capacity, permanent wilting point, water holding capacity and particle size fractions. The study was conducted in a 1.2 ha field with clay loam soil located on the low terraces of Yesilirmak River, Tokat, Turkey. According to the pairedt-test results, water holding capacity, and bulk density significantly increased, while permanent wilting point (P ≤ 0.001) and field capacity (P ≤ 0.05) significantly decreased for surface soil due to land leveling. The reasons for the increases in WHC values in both cut and fill areas (29%, and 12%, resp.) of surface soil are look like the much more decreases in PWP values than those of FC values and the increases in BD values. The moderate positive linear relationship between the surface soil clay contents and cut depths through cut areas (r= 0.64) was also determined in this study.
