“…However, changes in soil C were found to be more than 2× higher in the restored section (forested – 818 g/m 2 /year and cane – 681 g/m 2 /year) as compared with the control section (334 g/m 2 /year). This difference corresponds well to the findings of Handayani et al. (2008) who examined soil C pools at the Wilson Creek restoration site.…”

“…However, changes in soil C were found to be more than 2· higher in the restored section (forested -818 g ⁄ m 2 ⁄ year and cane -681 g ⁄ m 2 ⁄ year) as compared with the control section (334 g ⁄ m 2 ⁄ year). This difference corresponds well to the findings of Handayani et al (2008) who examined soil C pools at the Wilson Creek restoration site. Handayani et al (2007) found that particulate organic C, C-associated with macroaggregates (>2 mm), and the amount of macroaggregates were strongly affected by plant species in the restored treatments, and showed that early changes in soil properties were reflected in labile C pools and soil structure.…”

“…Moreover, soil organic matter fractions with turnover times of years to decades, such as particulate organic C, often respond more rapidly to changes in the soil organic C pool than stabilized mineral‐associated C fractions (Cambardella and Elliot, 1992; Carter et al. , 2003; Handayani et al. , 2008).…”

“…Particulate organic C from partly decomposed plant material at an early stage of decomposition has been characterized as a transitional stage in humification that provides substrates for microbes (Franzuelebbers et al, 2000;Six et al, 2002) and influences aggregation (Denef et al, 2004;John et al, 2005;Pulleman et al, 2005). Moreover, soil organic matter fractions with turnover times of years to decades, such as particulate organic C, often respond more rapidly to changes in the soil organic C pool than stabilized mineral-associated C fractions (Cambardella and Elliot, 1992;Carter et al, 2003;Handayani et al, 2008). Thus, an available pool of CWD could facilitate soil development and microbial colonization in the restored riparian area.…”

Andrews, Danielle M., Christopher D. Barton, Randall K. Kolka, Charles C. Rhoades, and Adam J. Dattilo, 2011. Soil and Water Characteristics in Restored Canebrake and Forest Riparian Zones. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 47(4):772‐784. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2011.00555.x Abstract: The degradation of streams has been widespread in the United States. In Kentucky, for instance, almost all of its large streams have been impounded or channelized. A restoration project was initiated in a channelized section of Wilson Creek (Nelson Co., Kentucky) to return its predisturbance meandering configuration. A goal of the project was to restore the native riparian corridor with giant cane and bottomland forest species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of giant cane in riparian restoration and to compare water quality and soil attributes between restored cane and forested communities. Comparison of data to replicated sites of similar size in undisturbed upstream areas (control) was also examined to evaluate restoration success. Vegetation establishment was initially hindered by frequent flooding in 2004, but mean survival was good after two growing seasons with rates of 80 and 61% for forest and cane plots, respectively. Results showed an improvement in stream water quality due to restoration activities. Significant differences between the cane and forested plots in shallow groundwater dissolved oxygen, NO3−‐N, NH4+‐N, and Mn concentrations suggest that soil redox conditions were not similar between the two vegetation types. Retention and transformation of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) within the restored riparian system also differed by vegetation treatment; however, both communities appeared to be advancing toward conditions exhibited in the control section of Wilson Creek.

“…In contrast, perennial vegetation systems improve soil aggregation and organic matter accumulation (Franzluebbers et al 2000). Grass can act as a cover crop, improve particulate organic matter content, and aggregation by providing continuous grass and root residues (Franzluebbers and Stuedemann 2005;Handayani et al 2008). The carbon inputs, root penetration and morphology, as well as mycorrhizal association affect aggregation (Denef et al 2002).…”

Soil quality indicator responses to row crop, grazed pasture, and agroforestry buffer management

Soil enzyme activities and water stable aggregates have been identified as sensitive soil quality indicators, but few studies exist comparing those parameters within buffers, grazed pastures and row-crop systems. Our objective was to examine the effects of these land uses on the activities of selected enzymes (b-glucosidase, b-glucosaminidase, fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolase, and dehydrogenase), proportion of water stable aggregates (WSA), soil organic carbon and total nitrogen content. Four management treatments [grazed pasture (GP), agroforestry buffer (AgB), grass buffer (GB) and row crop (RC)] were sampled in 2009 and 2010 at two depths (0 to 10-and 10 to 20-cm) and analyzed. Most of the soil quality indicators were significantly greater under perennial vegetation when compared to row crop treatments. Although there were numerical variations, soil quality response trends were consistent between years. The b-glucosaminidase activity increased slightly from 156 to 177 lg PNP g -1 dry soil while b-glucosidase activity slightly decreased from 248 to 237 lg PNP g -1 dry soil in GB treatment during 2 years. The surface (0-10 cm depth) had greater enzyme activities and WSA than sub-surface (10-20 cm) samples. WSA increased from 178 to 314 g kg -1 in row crop areas while all other treatments had similar values during the 2 year study. The treatment by depth interaction was significant (P \ 0.05) for b-glucosidase and b-glucosaminidase enzymes in 2009 and for dehydrogenase and b-glucosaminidase in 2010. Soil enzyme activities were significantly correlated with soil organic carbon content (r C 0.94, P \ 0.0001). This is important because soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass can be enhanced by perennial vegetation and thus improve several other soil quality parameters. These results also support the hypothesis that positive interactions among management practices, soil biota and subsequent environmental quality effects are of great agricultural and ecological importance.
