“…All SOM fractions in the uppermost layer (0–5 cm) increased after conversion of croplands to native vegetation in both chronosequences reflecting the increasing plant residues input to topsoil and their progressive transformation (Figure ). The same patterns in the shift of SOM quality were previously demonstrated during post‐agricultural successions in forest regions (Erokhova, Makarov, Morgun, & Ryzhova, ; Kalinina et al, ; Kalinina et al, ; Kalinina et al, ) and steppes (Jastrow, ; Kalinina, Barmin, et al, ; Lopes de Gerenyu et al, ). The post‐agricultural dynamics of SOM fractions (Figure ) mostly followed the total C org after cropland abandonment (Del Galdo et al, ; Erokhova et al, ; Gunina, Ryzhova, Dorodnikov, & Kuzyakov, ; Lima et al, ).…”

“…The successional rate and pattern of С stock recovery during the post‐agricultural evolution of croplands depend strongly on the soil type, which in turn is a result of bioclimatic region, plant productivity, quantity, and decomposition rate of plant residues, as well as the previous intensity of land use, management, and degradation (Kalinina et al, , ; Kurganova & Lopes de Gerenyu, , ; Lyuri et al, ; Pérez‐Cruzado, Mansilla‐Salinero, Rodríguez‐Soalleiro, & Merino, ). Accelerated SOM accumulation in taiga and deciduous forest soils are common after 20–50 years after agricultural abandonment when the forest litter input reach its maximal level (Kalinina et al, , ). In the steppe, the highest SOM accumulation rate occurs after 11–17 years after agricultural abandonment, when the aboriginal steppe species with deep roots and high belowground biomass production start to dominate (Kalinina et al, ).…”

“…The same is true for the fraction of occluded particulate organic matter (oPOM), which reflects regeneration of the soil structure (Jastrow, ; Six, Elliott, & Paustian, 1999). Both fPOM and oPOM fractions are sensitive to changes in vegetation type and the corresponding amount and composition of plant residues (Kalinina et al, , ; Kalinina et al, ; Kalinina, Goryachkin, Karavaeva, Lyuri, & Giani, ). For example, large contribution of these fractions with density below 2.0 g cm −3 to total SOM is common in forest soils (Besnard, Chenu, Balesdent, Puget, & Arrouays, ; Grüneberg, Schöning, Hessenmöller, Schulze, & Weisser, ; Grünewald, Kaiser, Jahn, & Guggenberger, ; John, Yamashita, Ludwig, & Flessa, ; Yamashita, Flessa, John, Helfrich, & Ludwig, ).…”

Recovery of organic matter and microbial biomass after abandonment of degraded agricultural soils: the influence of climate

et al. 2019

After abandonment of agricultural lands (ongoing on 220 million hectares worldwide), degraded arable soils undergo self‐restoration and development towards natural ecosystems. We studied the linkage between microbial properties and density fractions of soil organic matter (SOM) during post‐agricultural restoration of former arable Phaeozems and Chernozems. The chronosequence study was conducted in two contrasting bioclimatic zones of European Russia: deciduous forest (Luvic Phaeozem) and dry steppe (Calcic Chernozem). Each chronosequence included an arable soil, 3–4 soils with increasing periods after abandonment (from 7 to 35 years), and reference sites with native soils. The basal respiration (BR) and microbial biomass (Cmic) were closely correlated with the soil organic carbon (Corg) content as well as SOM density fractions: free particulate organic matter (fPOM), occluded particulate organic matter (oPOM), and mineral–SOM. The greatest increase in most properties was common in the top 0–5 cm and was maximal for fPOM and oPOM fractions (by 1.5–2.5‐times), Cmic (1.9‐times), and BR (1.5–2.5‐times). For the first time, the duration of full recovery of soil properties depending on climate were estimated. Generally, ~40–120 and 20–30 years in the forest and steppe, respectively, are required to restore Corg, total nitrogen (TN), and Cmic contents in the 0‐ to 5‐cm layer after the abandonment of agricultural lands. The maximal restoration rates of all properties are common in the first 15–20 years after abandonment.

“…The greatest C fluxes caused by LUC are attributed to conversion of croplands to native vegetation and vice versa (Houghton and Goodale, 2004;Schlesinger, 1986). A large number of reviews and experimental studies report that abandoned agricultural land (remaining without cultivation) will be occupied by natural vegetation, that lead to organic C accumulation both in soil (Guo and Gifford, 2002;Kalinina et al, 2011Kalinina et al, , 2013Kalinina et al, , 2015Lopes de Gerenyu, 2008, 2009;Lyuri et al, 2010) and in vegetation (Kurganova et al, 2007Pérez-Cruzado et al, 2011;Post and Kwon, 2000).…”

“…Additionally, the lower soil horizons are characterized by presence of many hard and soft Fe-Mn nodules, and many clay coatings on ped faces and clay infillings in channels (Table 2) (Szymański et al 2011(Szymański et al , 2012.

Purpose Ferrolysis is a soil-forming process, which involves destruction of clay minerals due to cyclic reduction and oxidation in acidic and periodically wet soils. The main objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to determine the influence of redox processes on clay mineral transformation in Retisols (Albeluvisols) in the Carpathian Foothills in Poland and (2) to verify the occurrence of ferrolysis in Retisols showing various degrees of bleaching. Materials and methods Twelve representative soil profiles were selected for analysis. All were formed entirely from loess except for two profiles, in which the lowermost horizons (2C) had developed from weathered flysch rocks residuum. Soil mineral analysis was done using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). Results and discussion The obtained results indicate that the qualitative and quantitative mineral compositions of the clay fraction in the E and Eg horizons obtained from Retisols in the Carpathian Foothills exhibiting marked differences in bleaching (strong, moderate, weak, and lack of bleaching) caused by periodic stagnation of water above a slowly permeable fragipan and cyclic redox processes are the same. The E and Eg horizons are characterized by the presence of 2:1 clay minerals with likely organic interlayer fillings, dioctahedral mica, kaolinite, and chlorite. Conclusions The results indicate that (1) redox processes occurring in the soils do not affect clay mineral transformation in Retisols of the Carpathian Foothills in Poland and (2) ferrolysis is not the main soil-forming process operating in these soils. This is most likely because ironbearing minerals are not abundant in the Retisols and/or undergo eluviation to the lower part of the soil profiles. The lower content of the clay fraction in the E and Eg horizons versus that in the lower soil horizons of the Retisols is related to clay illuviation (lessivage), and not to clay decomposition due to ferrolysis.
