“…Correlation analysis also revealed a significant positive relationship between EEGRSP and soil phosphatases (AlP, AcP) in the system of CF and a negative one between EEGRSP and clay content (Table 4) in CF as well as in OF. This result is consistent with examination of soils under trees in urban parks (AlP-EEGRSP: r = 0.846, AcP-EEGRSP: r = 0.734, EEGRSP-clay: r = −0.815) [23] and soils from stands of common dandelion (clay-EEGRSP r = −0.54) [20].…”

“…The CV analysis for the two soil-use systems ranked the enzymes as follows: for CF soils: AlP > AcP > CAT > DEH; and for OF soils: AlP > CAT > AcP > DEH, showing that alkaline phosphatase was the most sensitive to the cultivation treatments used. Research by Gałązka et al [65], Qiau et al [66], and Lemanowicz et al [23] showed soil enzymes to have a significant effect on the production of glomalins, and thus on the transformation of nutrients. Soil enzymes are involved in all biochemical processes in the soil environment.…”

“…Arable soil is a very diverse environment in which microorganisms play a key role in the biogeochemistry and circulation of elements, and in the decomposition of organic matter [2,20]. Enzymes in the soil environment affect the rate of release and availability of minerals to plants and catalyse reactions involved in the decomposition of SOM [21][22][23]. Enzymatic activity is increasingly being studied to assess the properties of soils being exploited in various ways, because it reflects the current state of the soil environment [4,24].…”

The chemical properties and enzymatic activity of the surface soil horizon were compared between an organic farm (OF) (crop rotation with legume plants, fertilisation with manure) and a conventional farm (CF) (simplified crop rotation, mineral fertilisation, chemical crop protection products). In the years 2001-2017 on the OF (near the village of Juchowo, northern Poland), a reduced tillage system (ploughless) was used, while plough cultivation was used on a CF located in its immediate vicinity. The parameters used to assess the properties of soils were: particle size composition, pH, total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). The activity of dehydrogenases (DEH), catalase (CAT), alkaline phosphatase (AlP) and acid phosphatase (AcP) and the content of easily extractable glomalin-related soil protein (EEGRSP) were also determined. Sixteen years of soil use in accordance with ecological principles significantly increased the average content of TOC, NT, DOC and DON. Soil samples rich in TOC and DOC showed significantly higher DEH and AcP activity, and EEGRSP content. Statistical analysis showed that the activity of DEH, AlP and CAT in the soil was significantly higher for the OF than for the conventional cultivation system. Limiting soil cultivation procedures on the OF improved the balance of soil organic matter (SOM) and pH value, and significantly increased the content of EEGRSP as compared to the cultivation system used on the CF.

“…The SU was measured by the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid colorimetric method, and the activity of SU was expressed as the milligrams of glucose produced in 1 g of soil incubated after 24 h in an incubator at 37 C (Jin et al, 2009). The PHO was measured by the disodium phenyl phosphate colorimetric method, and the mass (mg) of phenol released in 1 g of soil after incubating in an incubator at 37 C for 24 h represented the activity of PHO (Lemanowicz et al, 2020). Depending on the pH of the soil, we used acidic, neutral, or alkaline buffers while measuring the activity of phosphatase.…”

Plants can alter microbial communities through root exudates, and change the characteristics of the soil. However, the relationship between soil microbial communities and environmental factors is not well understood. Here, we studied bacterial and fungal communities and their relationships with environmental factors. We integrated data of environmental factors, microbial composition, diversity, functional prediction, and co-occurrence network from uncultivated, maize, cabbage, and cocozelle soils in a karst area of Southwest China. Soil bacterial and fungal community composition differed with plant types. Maize soil had more taxa and greater alpha diversity of bacteria and fungi than other soils. In maize soil, the relative abundance of Actinobacteria and Ascomycota was significantly lower than that in uncultivated soil, while its contents of soil organic matter (OM), alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, and total nitrogen (TN) showed the opposite trend. These indicators were not significantly different between cabbage and cocozelle soils. The results of the Mantel test and the RDA analysis indicated that TN and OM were important drivers of bacterial and fungal communities. Functional prediction and network analysis showed that maize soil had a high nitrogen fixation capacity and a complex and stable network. To summarize, maize soil not had a low relative abundance of Ascomycota and high content of TN and OM, nitrogen fixation ability, and a rich microbial community. Therefore, cultivating maize is suitable for improving soil microbial community. These findings might help in formulating a reasonable cultivation management program to prevent land degradation in the karst areas.

“…The acceptor can be an organic and inorganic compound, or oxygen ( Strek & Telesinski, 2017 ). The DEH activity is an indicator of the intensity of the respiratory metabolism of all soil microorganism populations, and is used to determine the total microbial activity of the soil ( Furtak & Gajda, 2017 ; Lemanowicz et al., 2020a ; Lemanowicz et al., 2020b ). The enzymes CAT and PER mediate key processes in the soil ecosystem, such as lignin degradation, humification and mineralisation ( Baldrian & Šnajdr, 2010 ).…”

The physical and chemical properties of the soil are important factors influencing the yield of crops. One of the agrotechnical factors influencing the biochemical properties of soil is sowing density. It affects the yield components, light, moisture and thermal conditions in the canopy and the pressure of pests. Secondary metabolites, many of which are known to act as a defense mechanism against insects, are of importance in the interaction between the crop and abiotic and biotic factors of the habitat. To the best of our knowledge, the studies conducted so far do not sufficiently reveal the impacts of the wheat species and the sowing density, together with the biochemical properties of the soil, on the accumulation of bioactive ingredients in the crop plants, and the subsequent impacts on the occurrence of phytophagic entomofauna in various management systems. Explaining these processes creates an opportunity for more sustainable development of agriculture. The study aimed to determine the effect of wheat species and sowing density on the biochemical properties of the soil, concentrations of biologically active compounds in the plant and the occurrence of insect pests in organic (OPS) and conventional (CPS) production systems. The research was conducted on spring wheat species (Indian dwarf wheat—Triticum sphaerococcum Percival and Persian wheat—Triticum persicum Vavilov) grown in OPS and CPS at sowing densities 400, 500, 600 (seeds m−2). The following analyzes were performed: (i) soil analysis: the activity of catalases (CAT), dehydrogenases (DEH), peroxidases (PER); (ii) plant analysis: total phenolic compounds (TP), chlorogenic acid (CA), antioxidant capacity (FRAP); (iii) entomological analysis of the number of insects—Oulema spp. adults and larvae. Performing analyzes in such a wide (interdisciplinary) scope will allow for a comprehensive understanding of the soil-plant-insect biological transformation evaluation. Our results showed that an increase in soil enzyme activity caused a decrease in TP contents in the wheat grown the OPS. Despite this, both the content of TP and the anti-oxidative activity of the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were higher in these wheats. Bioactive compound contents and FRAP were most favoured by the lowest sowing density. Regardless of the production system, the occurrence of the Oulema spp. adults on T. sphaerococcum was the lowest at a sowing density of 500 seeds m−2. The occurrence of this pest’s larvae was lowest at a sowing density of 400 seeds m−2. Research on bioactive compounds in plants, biochemical properties of soil and the occurrence of pests make it possible to comprehensively assess the impact of the sowing density of ancient wheat in the ecological and conventional production system, which is necessary for the development of environmentally sustainable agriculture.
