In the present paper, we summarize and integrate results performed on two different arable soils with continuous maize cropping (a) Stagnic Luvisol with maize cropping for 24 y, b) Luvic Phaeozem with maize cropping for 39 y) to identify (1) the storage of OC in different soil organic-matter fractions, (2) the function of these fractions with respect to soil-OC stabilization, (3) the importance and partitioning of fossil-C deposits, and (4) the rates of soil-OC stabilization as assessed by compound-specific isotope analyses. The fractionation procedures included particle-size fractionation, density fractionation, aggregate fractionation, acid hydrolysis, different oxidation procedures, isolation of extractable lipids and phospholipid fatty acids, pyrolysis, and the determination of black C. Stability of OC was determined by C-13 and C-14 analyses. The main inputs of OC were plant litter (both sites) and deposition of fossil C likely from coal combustion and lignite dust (only Phaeozem). Total soil OC stocks down to a depth of 65cm (7.83kg m(-2) in the Luvisol and 9.66kg m(-2) in the Phaeozem) consisted mainly of mineral-bound OC (87% of total SOC in the Luvisol and 69% in the Phaeozem). In the Luvisol, free light particulate OM, OM associated with sand and coarse silt, and particulate OM occluded in macro-aggregates represented SOM fractions with mean turnover times shorter than that of the bulk soil OC (54 y). Additionally, the turnover of all individual compounds or compound classes (except for black carbon) was faster than that of bulk soil OC. These OM fractions that were less stable than the bulk soil OM made up 13% to 20% of the total OC. Organic matter in fine and medium silt and clay fractions, particulate OM occluded in micro-aggregates (53-250 mu m) and OM resistant to acid hydrolysis had intermediate turnover times of about 50-100 y. These fractions with intermediate turnover times contributed 70%-80% to total soil OC. Passive OM with turnover times >200 y was isolated from the mineral-bound OM by different oxidation procedures (H2O2, Na2S2O8) and made up <= 10% of the total OC. The isotopic signature of PLFAs suggests an efficient recycling of OC derived from C3 substrate. In the Phaeozem, partitioning of maize-derived C exhibited a pattern similar to the Luvisol, but turnover rates of vegetation-derived soil OC were lower, probably because of the considerably smaller input of plant residues. Fossil C contributed approx. 50% to the total OC and accumulated preferentially in the particulate OM occluded in aggregates and in the fine-sand and coarse-silt fractions. It formed a large stock of passive soil OM but a minor part also entered the microbial C cycle. The results show that the partitioning of OC derived from vegetation and deposition of fossil compounds among soil fractions differed mainly because of their different bioavailability and recalcitrance. There was no evidence for a high recalcitrance of individual plant compounds. Mineral-bound OM resistant to oxidation by H2O2 and Na2S2O8 represented highly stable OC pools in both soils."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/jpln.200700050"],["dc.identifier.isi","000253431000004"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/55110"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-v C H Verlag Gmbh"],["dc.relation.issn","1436-8730"],["dc.title","Storage and stability of organic matter and fossil carbon in a Luvisol and Phaeozem with continuous maize cropping: A synthesis"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We developed an automated system for near-continuous, long-term measurements of N2O, CH4 and CO2 fluxes from cropland soils and used it to study the temporal variation of N2O and CH4 fluxes from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) fields during the crop periods of 1997 and 1998, and also to determine the effects of management practices and weather. Additionally, we evaluated the error of other common methods, namely, weekly or monthly measurements, used for estimating cumulative fluxes. ne fluxes were quantified separately for the ridges, uncompacted interrows and tractor-compacted interrows. Total N2O-N emission from the potato field during the growing period (end of May to September) was 1.6 kg ha(-1) in 1997 and 2.0 kg ha(-1) in 1998; emissions were highest for the tractor-compacted soil. Periods of increased N2O losses were induced by heavy precipitation (in particular in compacted soil) and by the killing of potato tops (on the ridges) by herbicide application. The total CH4-C uptake in the potato field during the growing period was 295 g ha(-1) in 1997 and 317 g ha(-1) in 1998.

Weekly measurements of N2O fluxes complemented by additional event-related flux determinations provided accurate estimates of total emissions.

In this soil, all organic matter is in the microbial biomass or in freshly formed residues, which makes it possible to analyse more clearly the role of microbial residues for decomposition of N-poor substrates. The average delta C-13 value over the whole incubation period was -10.7 parts per thousand in soil total C in the treatments without C-3-cellulose addition. In the CO2 evolved, the delta C-13 values decreased from -13.4 parts per thousand to -15.4 parts per thousand during incubation.

However, the net increase did not reflect the fact that the addition of maize straw replaced an identical 58% (approximate to 180 mu g g(-1) soil) of the autochthonous microbial biomass C(3)-C in all three straw treatments. In the two treatments with manipulated straw, the formation of maize-derived microbial biomass C(4)-C was significantly reduced by 25%. In the three straw treatments, the ratio of fungal ergosterol-to-microbial biomass C ratio showed a constant 60% increase compared to the control, and the contents of glucosamine and muramic acid increased by 18%. The average fungal C/bacterial C ratio was 3.6 in the soil and 5.0 in the recovered maize straw, indicating that fungal dominance was not altered by the initial chemical manipulations of the maize straw-colonizing microorganisms."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00374-007-0266-y"],["dc.identifier.isi","000257201600010"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53840"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0178-2762"],["dc.title","Decomposition of maize residues after manipulation of colonization and its contribution to the soil microbial biomass"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Models help us to better understand these systems and the interaction of the processes involved. Objectives were to test a calibration and validation scheme for applications of the denitrification-decomposition (DNDC) model to describe a long-term field experiment with conventional tillage (CT) and reduced tillage (RI) at two sites (G and silty Haplic Luvisols) near Gottingen, Germany (G-CT, G-RI, H-CT, H-RI). Crop growth of field bean (Vicia faba L) and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) as well as soil water dynamics and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions were determined for two subsequent years. A model test was performed based on a model parameterization to best describe the case G-CT. This parameterization was then applied to the other cases as a retrospective simulation. Results of model variant vi (no parameter optimization) indicated that soil water contents were not accurately simulated using the DNDC default values for a silt loam. After successful calibration of the soil water flow model using modified water-filled pore spaces at field capacity and wilting point and a modified hydro-conductivity that led to a good fit of the measured water content data, grain yields were markedly underestimated and modelled N2O emissions were too large (v2). An optimization of the crop properties (maximum grain yield. N fixation index, thermal degree days, transpiration coefficient) was essential for a better match of measured yields (v3). Further adjustments in the model (v4) were required to better match cumulative N2O emissions: reducing the initial soil organic carbon content and mineralization rates. Predictions of crop yields and annual cumulative N2O emissions using model variant v4 were fairly accurate for the reduced tillage system G-RI and also for the second field experiment H-CT and H-RI, but annual distributions of N2O emissions were not. Overall our results indicate that site specific calibration was an essential requirement for the silty German sites, and that the pedotransfer functions and denitrification submodel of DNDC may need further improvement.
