Objective of investigation: Land use conversion strongly alters soil structure and substantially affects soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Changing from an anaerobic paddy field (PF) to a dry land easily causes SOC loss due to stimulation of C decomposition. However, no evidence of SOC loss from PF to intensive vegetable cultivation has been certainly presented. Experimental material: This study was conducted on the long-term cultivated open-field vegetable (OFV) and greenhouse vegetable (GHV) planting area converted from old PF in China. Undisturbed soil cores, natural structured soil, and disturbed soil from top soil layers were using for further analyses. Methods of investigation: To comprehensively investigate SOC and soil structure change in the land use conversion of PF to OFV and PF to GHV, we used 13C-CPMAS NMR spectroscopy to classify the SOC fractions. The soil macropores (> 50 μm) was valued by X-ray computed tomography, and soil aggregates distribution was determined by wet sieving method. Data collection: Data were obtained from the above-mentioned measurements and statistically analyzed in R. Results: The result showed that the SOC stock increased 1-fold from PF to GHV. SOC stability increased with recalcitrant C (aromatic-C and carbonyl-C) raised by 21 %–27 % in GHV bulk soil. Both macropores and macroaggregates (> 250 μm) increased in GHV, accompanied by an accumulation of recalcitrant C in large macroaggregates. Conclusions: we confirmed the expanded GHV cultivation sequestered more belowground SOC than PF, associated with the amplified physical protection by enhancing soil aggregation and by redistributing of soil macropores.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration is closely related to soil quality and climate change. The objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of contemporary land use on SOC concentrations at 0–20 cm depths, and to investigate the dynamics of SOC in paddy-field soil and dry-land soil after their conversion from natural wetlands (20 and 30 years ago). We investigated the dissolved organic carbon (DOC), light fraction organic carbon (LFOC), heavy fraction organic carbon (HFOC), and other soil properties (i.e., moisture content, bulk density, pH, clay, sand, silt, available phosphorous, light fraction nitrogen, and heavy fraction nitrogen) in natural wetlands, constructed wetlands, fishponds, paddy fields, and soybean fields. The results indicated that the content of DOC increased 17% in constructed wetland and decreased 39% in fishponds, and the content of HFOC in constructed wetland and fishponds increased 50% and 8%, respectively, compared with that in natural wetlands at 0–20 cm. After the conversion of a wetland, the content of HFOC increased 72% in the paddy fields and decreased 62% in the dry land, while the content of DOC and LFOC decreased in both types. In the paddy fields, LFOC and HFOC content in the topmost 0.2 m of the soil layer was significantly higher compared to the layer below (from 0.2 to 0.6 m), and there were no significant differences observed in the dry land. The findings suggest that the paddy fields can sequester organic carbon through the accumulation of HFOC. However, the HFOC content decreased 22% after 10 years of cultivation with the decrease of clay content, indicating that paddy fields need to favor clay accumulation for the purpose of enhancing carbon sequestration in the paddy fields.

Land-use types with different disturbance gradients show many variations in soil properties, but the effects of different land-use types on soil nitrifying communities and their ecological implications remain poorly understood. Using 13CO2-DNA-based stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP), we examined the relative importance and active community composition of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in soils under three land-use types, forest, cropland, and greenhouse vegetable soil, representing three interference gradients. Soil net nitrification rate was in the order forest soil > cropland soil > greenhouse vegetable soil. DNA-SIP showed that active AOA outcompeted AOB in the forest soil, whereas AOB outperformed AOA in the cropland and greenhouse vegetable soils. Cropland soil was richer in NOB than in AOA and AOB. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that ammonia oxidation in the forest soil was predominantly catalyzed by the AOA Nitrosocosmicus franklandus cluster within the group 1.1b lineage. The 13C-labeled AOB were overwhelmingly dominated by Nitrosospira cluster 3 in the cropland soil. The active AOB Nitrosococcus watsonii lineage was observed in the greenhouse vegetable soil, and it played an important role in nitrification. Active NOB communities were closely affiliated with Nitrospira in the forest and cropland soils, and with Nitrolancea and Nitrococcus in the greenhouse vegetable soil. Canonical correlation analysis showed that soil pH and organic matter content significantly affected the active nitrifier community composition. These results suggest that land-use types with different disturbance gradients alter the distribution of active nitrifier communities by affecting soil physicochemical properties. IMPORTANCE Nitrification plays an important role in the soil N cycle, and land-use management has a profound effect on soil nitrifiers. It is unclear how different gradients of land use affect active ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. Our research is significant because we determined the response of nitrifiers to human disturbance, which will greatly improve our understanding of the niche of nitrifiers and the differences in their physiology.

This research studied the effect of the change in function from paddy field to dry land on the soil fertility index. The research was conducted in Girimarto Sub-district, Wonogiri District, in the Province of Central Java. The five stages of the research were: determination of Land Mapping Units in areas with a change in land use; field survey; laboratory analysis; determination of Minimum Data Sets (MDSs) or Minimum Soil Fertility Index (MSFI); analysis of Soil Fertility Index (SFI). The research results show that the change in function of 231 ha of land in Girimarto Sub-district is due to the topographical factor of the mountain region and the shortage of water. This change in land function has caused an increase in the soil fertility index. Soil fertility in paddy fields is classed as moderate but after undergoing a change in function to dry land, its classification increases to moderate-high. The increase in soil fertility index of dry land is due to the fact that farming patterns on dry land use more animal manure, which has a long-term residual effect on organic matter content. In order to maintain and improve the fertility of paddy field soil, it is necessary to add organic fertilizer as well as inorganic fertilizer.

Incongruous management techniques have been associated with some significant loss of agricultural land to degradation in many parts of the world. Land degradation results in the alteration of physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil, thereby posing a serious threat to sustainable agricultural development. In this study, our objective is to evaluate the changes in a Cambisol structure under six land use systems using the load bearing capacity model. Sampling was conducted in Amazonas Region, Brazil, in the following land use: a) young secondary forest; b) old secondary forest; c) forest; d) pasture; e) cropping, and f) agroforestry. To obtain the load bearing capacity models the undisturbed soil samples were collected in those land use systems and subjected to the uniaxial compression test. These models were used to evaluate which land use system preserved or degraded the Cambisol structure. The results of the bulk density and total porosity of the soil samples were not adequate to quantify structural degradation in Cambisol. Using the forest topsoil level (0-0.03 m) as a reference, it was observed that pasture land use system was most severe in the degradation of the soil structure while the structure were most preserved under old secondary forest, cropping system and forest. At the subsoil level (0.10-0.13 m depth), the soil structure was most degraded in the cropping land use system while it was most preserved in young secondary forest and pasture. At the 0.20-0.23 m depth, soil structure degradation was most severe in the old secondary forest system and well preserved in young secondary forest, cropping and agroforestry.

Jining City is a typical area with complex and diverse landforms, developed water systems and rich mineral resources. Research on its land use changes will be of great significance in terms of sustainable development and ecological protection. This paper is based on the four LANDSAT remote sensing image data in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, using RS, GIS, mathematical statistics and other methods, mainly analyze the land use of Jining City from 2000 to 2015 from three aspects: land use structure, land use characteristics and problems, land use area and structure changes. The results show that: (1) Jining City has the largest area of dry land, which is widely distributed in various regions; followed by construction land, water, grass, woodland, paddy field, and unutilized land. (2) The land use characteristics of Jining City are: high arable land rate, high land utilization rate, large proportion of water area, abundant surface water resources, and obvious regional differences in land use; the problems are that the land use structure is unreasonable, per capita land resources are few, and the contradiction between people and land has become increasingly prominent. (3) On the whole, land use changes in Jining City are relatively complex. The town house area has been showing an increasing trend; the grass area has shown a continuous decreasing trend; the fluctuations of dry land, paddy field, woodland, house-site in the countryside, water, and unutilized land area fluctuations are obvious. During the 15 years from 2000 to 2015, the largest change in the land use structure of Jining City was town house, followed by paddy field, house-site in the countryside, dry land, grass, woodland, unutilized land, and water. The area of town house, dry land, forest land, and water has increased, while the area of paddy field, house-site in the countryside, grass, and unutilized land has decreased.

Abstract. The diminishing of paddy field due to land use conversion to non-agricultural or non-paddy agricultural purpose is a serious threat to national food security prospect. This present study intends to explain the phenomena of diminishing paddy field range in Malaysia. This is a descriptive correlation study. The result of the study found that the size of paddy field in Peninsular Malaysia either according to the state or the granary area was diminished. According to the state, the size of paddy field has reduced by 88,321 ha (22.17%) in the last 15 years or equivalent to 1.49% per year. Whereas, according to granary area, the size of the paddy field has reduced by 10,790 ha (5.10%) or equivalent to 0.34% per year. The diminishing of the size of the paddy field indicates a significant correlation to the national paddy production. In the meantime, the population growth is expected to increase whilst productivity expands slowly. The government needs to emphassion this matter to attain the goal of food security. Konversi Lahan Sawah di Malaysia : Isu dan Tantangan Abstrak. Berkurangnya lahan sawah karena konversi penggunaan tanah ke non-pertanian atau tujuan lain yang bukan lahan padi merupakan ancaman serius bagi prospek ketahanan pangan nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan fenomena berkurangnya lahan sawah di Malaysia. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ukuran sawah di Peninsular Malaysia juga daerah lainnya atau lokasi pusat padi/lumbung juga berkurang. Berdasarkan data nasional penurunan luas lahan sebesar 88,321 ha (22,17 %)  untuk 15 tahun terakhir atau setara dengan 1,49 % per tahun. Sedangkan pada daerah lumbung, luas sawah telah mengalami pengurangan sebesar 10,790 ha (5.10 %) atau setara dengan 0,34 % per tahun. Berkurangnya lahan sawah ini terindikasi adanya korelasi yang signifikan untuk kondisi produksi padi secara nasional. Sementara itu , pertumbuhan penduduk diperkirakan terus meningkat pada saat produktivitas padi mengalami pertumbuhan dengan lambat. Pemerintah perlu mengendalikan hal ini untuk mencapai tujuan ketahanan pangan nasionalnya.
