“…In the deep soil of the 60-80 and 80-100 cm layers, the SOC content in NT soil was significantly lower than that in CT soil. Yu et al, (2020) also found that the greater SOCS was observed in the LEY treatment as compared to PUC ≈ ECH > CHL > SUA treatments at 0-10 cm depth. At the 10-20 cm depth, SOCS in the LEY, PUC and ECH treatments was significantly higher than that in the SUA and CHL treatments.…”

“…At 5-10 and 10-15 cm soil depths, the SOC concentrations under RT-RWMB varied significantly from other treatments. Yu et al, (2020) reported that -10 cm depth and the lowest value (1.370 g kg −1 ) in the SUA treatment at the 40-50 cm depth. The range of the SOC concentrations across the soil profile was 10.970, 7.230, 6.937, 4.408, and 6.025 g kg −1 for the LEY, PUC, ECH, SUA, and CHL treatments, respectively.…”

“…When compared with the wheat harvest, the SR at the maize harvest changed little for the 0-5:5-10and 10-20 cm depths but decreased for the 0-5:20-30 and 0-5:30-50 cm depths. Yu et al, (2020) observed that SR of SOC ranged from 1.355 to 1.603, 1.735 to 2.288, 2.245 to 3.150, and 3.128 to 4.503 for SR 1 , SR 2 , SR 3 , and SR 4 , respectively, among the five vegetation types. Vegetation type had no significant effect on SR 1 and SR 2 due to the narrow range.…”

Soil aggregates and organic matter are considered to be important indicators of soil quality. The objective of this review study was to determine agricultural practices effects on the distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) associated with aggregate-size fractions. Depth distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions depends on the efficiency of agro-technical managements. The SOC stocks to 1-m depth were 172.3 Mg C ha −1 under Forest and the lowest 89.3 Mg C ha −1 under home-garden. No significant differences were noted in SOC within the silt + clay fraction (< 53 µm) beyond 60 cm depth under Forest and other shaded AFS. Moreover, depth, aggregate size and treatment had significant interaction effects on SOC stocks. The reports show that deep rooted, crop-based systems, have higher total soil C stocks and more C in the smallest (< 53 µm) soil fractions indicating the recalcitrant (longer-term storage) nature of C and implying consequent ecosystem benefit of reduced chances for soil C release back to the atmosphere. Moreover, the mean stratification ratio (SR) (i.e. a ratio of the concentrations of SOC in the soil surface to those in a deeper layer) of SOC for 0-5:5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-25 and 25-30 cm were found higher (> 2) under CA practices compared to intensive tillage-based conventional agricultural practice. The fractions of aggregates, aggregate SOC and aggregate EOC in grassland and forestland were generally higher than those in farmland. Furthermore, because conventional cultivation destroyed aggregates, the dominant aggregate size fractions were < 0.5 mm for farmland and > 0.5 mm for other land uses. Compared to the corresponding values in farmland, the mean weight diameter (MWD) in forestland and grassland increased by 808%-417%, and the stability ratio of water-stable aggregate (WSAR) increased by 920%-553%. Aggregate formation and its dominant size fraction were associated closely with its carbon fractions. SOC and EOC in farmland tended to be concentrated in smaller-sized aggregates, whereas SOC and EOC under other land uses tended to concentrate in larger-sized aggregates. The MBC concentration was the highest in minimum tillage (MT) system, at 15 to 30-cm depth and PMC concentration was highest with MT at 45-60 cm. The highest DOC was at 0 to 15cm depth. The highest stratification ratio (SR) of PMC was under MT with at 0-15:15-30 and POC was under tine cultivator (TC) and moldboard plow (MP) at depths of 0-15:45-60 cm. The highest SR for DOC was under MP at 0-15:45-60 cm and HCl insoluble C was under MT at 0-15:45-60. In broad-spectrum, labile organic fractions revealed differential sensitivity, and POC stocks are also a sensitive indicator to detect the shortmanagement effects.

“…Changes in the reserves of elements of the mineral nutrition of plants can lead to a decrease in the adaptive potential of the phytocenosis and deterioration of the forest-growing properties of soils [23,24]. Differentiation of the soil profile into separate horizons determines the specifics of their properties (for example, the stocks of carbon, nitrogen and potassium), and this is a common phenomenon in many natural ecosystems [25]. In this regard, it is possible to use a very informative indicator (soil stratification coefficient) that may change against the background of anthropogenic impact.…”

This study was carried out in the territories of Northern Europe, in the middle taiga subzone of Karelia. The paper presents the results of a study of an experiment on logging to study the impact of controlled logging using supervised logging with controlling cutting (SLCC) and conventional logging (CL) on the properties of soils (horizons O, E and BF) in a spruce forest 15 years after logging. Virgin forest (VF) was used as a control. The volume weight of soils, the contents of carbon, nitrogen and potassium in different soil layers (layers O, E and BF), as well as reserves of C, N and K and their stratification coefficients SRs (SR1 [O:E], SR2 [O:BF] and SR3 [E:BF]) were studied. The results showed a tendency to increase the volume weight of soils of anthropogenically disturbed (CL and SLCC) areas can be measured. The obtained data demonstrated that there was no sharp change in the contents or stocks of the studied elements between the anthropogenically disturbed (CL and SLCC) and undisturbed areas (VF). The largest reserves of carbon, nitrogen and potassium were noted in the upper horizons of the soils of all sites, averaging 35.6, 1.27 and 0.073 t/ha, respectively. In the lower horizons of the studied soils, the values were lower. The values of the stratification coefficients in the studied soils were arranged in decreasing order as SR2 > SR1 > SR3. At the same time, the general trend of unidirectional changes in the SR values for carbon and potassium in soils was noted; the data for nitrogen were somewhat different. The results showed a marked decrease in SOC concentration with an increase in soil depth. Higher rates of cellulose decomposition were observed in anthropogenically disturbed areas (CL—69.0 ± 3.6%; SLCC—57.4 ± 3.5%) compared with virgin forest (VF) (53.7 ± 3.1%), which is consistent with the results of other studies in the taiga zone. The data obtained indicate the importance of a more accurate assessment of the contents and stocks of elements, as well as the need to use tests for soil biological activity.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the content of organic carbon (Corg) in the soils of Polish grasslands (GL). The Tiurin's method (mineral soils) and the mass loss method (soil of organic origin) were used. It was found that: /i/ the average Corg content of mineral soils is 2.44% and of organic soils – 10.42%; /ii/ according to the Polish criteria, about 84% of GL mineral soils are classified as classes with high and very high Corg content, and over 15% and 1% – in classes with medium and low Corg content, respectively; more than 99% of organic soils belong to two classes with the highest Corg content and less than 1% to the class with an average content; /iii/ according to the European Soil Bureau, the share of GL mineral soils with a high Corg content is slightly over 4%, medium – slightly over 47%, and low and very low – around 50%; for organic soils they are 67%, 29%, and 4%, respectively; /iv/ the reserves of organic carbon in the 0–30 cm layer on the entire surface of GL soils amount to 412.7 million tons of Corg. There are opportunities to increase the Corg stock in meadow soils.
