“…This increase in the C-LF in relation to native vegetation is important because, although its stock is normally less than other more stable fractions of SOM, it constitutes a compartment with rapid cycling that may favor the soil biota (Silva and Mendonça, 2007). This shows that the LF may be used as a sensitive indicator to detect changes in the quality of soil with different uses and management practices (Wu et al, 2004), although this greater stock of LF is not always seen (Leifeld and Kögel-Knabner, 2005). …”

aBstractimproper land use has lead to deterioration and depletion of natural resources, as well as a significant decline in agricultural production, due to decreased soil quality. Removal of native vegetation to make way for agricultural crops, often managed inadequately, results in soil disruption, decreased nutrient availability, and decomposition of soil organic matter, making sustainable agricultural production unviable. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of growing irrigated mango (over a 20 year period) on the organic carbon (Oc) stocks and on the fractions of soil organic matter (sOM) in relation to the native caatinga (xeric shrubland) vegetation in the lower são Francisco valley region, Brazil. The study was carried out on the Boa Esperança Farm located in Petrolina, Pernambuco, Brazil. In areas under irrigated mango and native caatinga, soil samples were collected at the 0-10 and 10-20 cm depths. After preparing the soil samples, we determined the Oc stocks, carbon of humic substances (fulvic acid fractions, humic acid fractions, and humin fractions), and the light and heavy SOM fractions. Growing irrigated mango resulted in higher Oc stocks; higher c stocks in the fulvic acid, humic acid, and humin fractions;

“…Serious losses of SOM have deteriorated soil quality and crop productivity, which has spurred scientist to explore ways to restore SOM Ding et al, 2011). Studies have shown that maintaining SOM at optimum level can be achieved by fertilization practices (Zebarth et al, 1999;Wu et al, 2004;Yang et al, 2005;Blair et al, 2006;Verma and Sharma, 2007;Purakayastha et al, 2008;Gong et al, 2009). However, perhaps as cost saving measure, more and more chemicals have been added to soils, which would further degrade soil quality.…”

“…Fertilization is often recommended to increase SOM in soil (Laggett and Kelting 2006, Mann et al 2007, Wang et al 2013. Many studies have shown that application of organic fertilizers was positively related to soil carbon accumulations (Wu et al 2004, Rudrappa et al 2006. Fertilization could prove to increase the saturation of the organic matter by metal ions and improved soil structure.…”

The aim of the study was to assess the effects of organic fertilization on selected chemical properties of the soil and the activity of dehydrogenase and β-glucosidase in the soil of forest nursery. The main goal was to evaluate the role of organic fertilizers in carbon storage in the forest nursery soil. Sample plots were located in northern Poland in the Polanów Forest District on a forest nursery. Soil samples were collected from horizon 0-20 cm for laboratory analyzes. In soil samples pH, soil texture, and organic carbon, nitrogen, base cation contents, dehydrogenase activity and β-glucosidase activity were determined. The obtained results were used to evaluate the carbon storage. The results confirm the beneficial effect of the applied organic fertilizer on chemical properties of the soils under study and their biological activity. The applied organic fertilizers had an impact on increased accumulation of soil organic matter. In the soils investigated, there was an increase in the activity of such enzymes as dehydrogenases and β-glucosidase.
