“…Several aspects concerning the relationship between soil liming and soil organic matter have been described in literature: microbial activity of acid soils increases, which increases the mineralisation of soil organic matter (Curtin et al 1998;Chapin et al 2003;Lalande et al 2009); de-acidification reduces the noxious effect of aluminium with the same resultant effect (Fageria & Baligar 2008); fractionation of soil organic matter and the proportion of water-soluble, i.e. labile, carbon are changed (Manna et al 2007;Bishop et al 2008;de Oliveira et al 2008); water stability of soil aggregates is increased (Grieve et al 2005); the consumption of Ca-compounds increases in relation to the degree of soil organic matter lability (Kolář et al 2007); nitrification increases (Dorland et al 2004); and few papers deal also with the problem of the relation between the labile soil organic matter and soil water (Kolář et al 2002).…”

Abstract:In average samples of three sandy-loamy acid Cambisols from a South Bohemian area labile organic matters were determined by the permangate method modified by the dichromate method, and the rate constant of their biochemical oxidation was determined in hot water extracts of the samples. The need of liming was determined by means of 2 methods. In soil solutions of these samples, all values necessary to evaluate their calcium carbonate equilibriums were determined. The soil samples were enriched with 3% of dry matter of two organic materials, farmyard manure and meadow clover meal, and were incubated at 25°C for 180 days under wetting above 50% of their retention water capacity, and after this procedure all analyses were repeated. Both methods were found to increase the need of liming in all three soils: the more labile the organic matter in 3% addition, the higher the need. The meadow clover matter was more labile than the farmyard manure matter. All three methods for the study of soil carbon lability yielded similar results while the potassium permanganate method was more sensitive than the dichromate one. Increases were observed in equilibrium [Cr(H 2 CO 3 * )] and in Langelier saturation index I s . This means that soil liming cannot be considered only as an adjustment to the soil acidity and supply of calcium to plants to meet their requirements, but also as a replacement of the spontaneous adjustment to calcium carbonate equilibrium of soil water, for which through mineralisation of labile organic matters in conditions of our experiment about 220 kg CaCO 3 per hectare of land were consumed on condition that it was not necessary to re-establish it. The process of Ca-compound consumption to establish the calcium carbonate equilibrium is controlled exclusively by the degree of mineralising organic matters lability while the influence of soil properties is only marginal. The same results were provided by the comparison of calcium carbonate equilibriums in nine Šumava brooks of the total watershed area 78 564 km 2 with the degree of lability of organic matters in their sediments in 1986, 2001 and 2004. A reduction in the intensity of agricultural production in 1986-2004 resulted in an increase in the stability of organic matters in the sediments, in a decrease in I s , and in a lower corrosivity of brooks water towards CaCO 3 . However, the quality of soils and their potential soil fertility decreased due to the loss of labile organic matters.

Lithuania is located in the humid zone, where mean annual precipitation exceeds mean evapotranspiration and soil acidification is an ongoing natural process encouraged by anthropogenic activities. Traditionally, the process may be controlled by different intensity liming. The chapter summarizes the data on long-term liming and fertilization experiments made in Western Lithuania. The object of the investigation is the naturally acid soil, Bathygleyic Dystric Glossic Retisol (texture: moraine loam with clay-sized particles content of 12-14%), and the same soil exposed for more than half a century to different liming and fertilization intensity. Our systematic analysis shows that it is impossible to reach appropriate moraine loam soil conditions for organic matter decomposition, carbon sequestration, soil aggregation, nitrogen fixation, nutrient accumulation, and plant growth by using intensive liming only. It is necessary to coordinate proper liming and organic fertilizing. The soil acidity was neutralized (pH KCl 5.9 ± 0.1) and mobile aluminum abolished in the topsoil and subsoil to a 60 cm depth; moreover, the highest amount of soil organic carbon (1.91%), water stable aggregates (59%), intense nitrogen fixation, and highest grain yield was established in the periodically limed (with 1.0 rate CaCO 3 every 7 years) soil with 60 t ha −1 farmyard manure (FYM) application.

“…In acidic soils with pH < 5.5, the solubility of aluminum increases to toxic levels forming insoluble phosphates, which may severely limit the root system and reduce the plant growth [11][12][13]. The introduction of lime in agricultural soils has been widely used for a long period of time as a reclamation strategy aimed at improving plant nutrition [14][15][16]. Reasonable recommendations for the use of ameliorate and fertilizers can be given only on the basis of long-term experiments [17,18].…”

The article presents the analysis of the results of a long-term experiment on studying the effectiveness of the combination of the doses of lime and mineral fertilizers on sod-podzolic sandy loam soil in crop rotation in the Leningrad region. Research experiments are carried out in the six-field crop rotation. The data obtained in the course of long-term stationary field experiments are more reliable and accurate compared to the results of model experiments. The liming and long-term uses of mineral fertilizers affect the crop nutrition pattern and the migration capacity of substances in soils. The application of moderate doses of mineral fertilizers during soil liming increases the number of bacterial microflora. Liming significantly increases the nitrification capacity of the soil. Liming of strongly acidic sod-podzolic soils increases the amount of phosphorus and fertilizers the crops take from soil. Calcium, which is a part of phosphorus fertilizers, is essential for acid-sensitive crops. The optimal reaction level for crop development is not constant. In case of a good crops supply with nutrients, the optimal reaction level shifts to a more assiduous area. As a result, the knowledge of the process patterns occurring in the soil under the influence of anthropogenic agricultural activity was obtained. The data obtained are the key to control the soil evolution during its agricultural use.
