“…The decrease of this ratio at the heavily and moderately influenced forest sites (i.e., sites Ia, Ib and II) may also indicate a disturbance in the C turnover in these soils. The reduction of the microbial biomass, the microbial biomass C-to-N ratio, and the microbial biomass C-to-total organic C ratio in forest soils that chronic received high loads of atmospheric depositions was potentially the result of the following factors: (i) a significant increase in soil pH as documented by Koch et al (2002) and Klose and Makeschin (2003a;b), which may have caused a decrease in soil fungi-to-bacteria ratio, as indicated in this study and others (Bååth et al, 1995;Wolters et al, 1995), (ii) a decrease in substrate availability caused by an accumulation of persistent lignite-derived organic C compounds, as shown by Rumpel et al (1998), and/or (iii) an increase in the concentrations of mobile fractions of Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn and Co.…”

Atmospheric emissions of fly ash and SO 2 from lignite-fired power plants strongly affect large forest areas in Germany. The impact of different deposition loads on the microbial biomass and enzyme activities was studied at three forest sites (Picea abies (L.) Karst.)along an emission gradient of 3, 6, and 15 km downwind of a coal-fired power plant (sites Ia, II, and III, respectively), representing high, moderate, and low emission rates. by the content of organic C and cation exchange capacity, while those of enzyme activities were governed by the soil pH and concentrations of mobile heavy metals. We concluded that chronic fly ash depositions decrease litter decomposition by influencing specific microbial and enzymatic processes in forest soils.

“…Coal contamination contributed to the irregular depth distribution of SOC in RMS (Thurman and Sencindiver 1986). In Lusatia mining district (Germany), lignite-C accounted for 25 % to 99 % of the total SOC in rehabilitated and reforested RMS (Rumpel et al 1998(Rumpel et al , 2000. Coal C accounted for up to 80 % of the OC in the A-horizon of cultivated Mollisol contaminated by brown coal emissions from a briquette factory (Schmidt et al 1996).…”

“…For example, Rumpel et al (2003) showed that lignite accounted for 80 %-93 % of the total C in the top 0-5 cm mineral horizon of the age-chronosequence series of minesoils ranging from 11 to 32 year old at Lusatian mining district in Germany. Rumpel et al (1998) observed that after 36 year of restoration, more than half of the OC in 0-5 cm soil layer under red oak (Querus Akala and Lal (2000) Reclaimed minesoil spp) was derived from decomposing plant material. Ussiri and Lal (2008) determined the coal C content of RMS restored with topsoil application using radiocarbon analysis and chemi-thermal method, observed that coal C accounted for 2 % to 40 % of the total OC in the top 30 cm soil layer, while in the subsoil (below 30 cm depth) coal C accounted up to 92 % of the total organic C. Overall, the reviewed data suggests that the distribution of coal C in coal-contaminated RMS can be highly variable; therefore, intensive sampling is necessary in order to obtain adequate measure of SOC in restored ecosystems (Ussiri et al 2014).…”

Reclaimed mined lands provide an excellent opportunity to sequester carbon and combat global warming. Carbon sequestration on reclaimed sites depend on age of reclamation, composition of species, geomining conditions (soil characteristics) and prevailing climate. The aims of the present study were to calculate carbon (C)-stock of biomass of 4 years old plantation (dominated by Albizia lebbeck, Dalbergia sissoo and Bambusa arundinacea), understorey vegetation and litter, soil organic carbon in reclaimed minesoil (RMS) and compare with reference forest site. Allometric equation was used for the estimation of biomass C stock and found 13.0 Mg C ha -1 (A lebbeck 7.8 Mg C ha -1 , D sissoo 3.5 Mg C ha -1 and B. arundincea 1.2 Mg C ha -1 ), while stock of understorey vegetation was 0.98 Mg C ha -1 . In RMS, C stock was 16.3 Mg C ha -1 , out of which inorganic C contributed 1.7 g kg -1 (8 % of total soil C), Coal C 8.7 g kg -1(43 % of total soil C) and biogenic C 9.8 g kg -1 (49 % of total soil C). Total C stock in reclaimed site was calculated as 30.3 Mg C ha -1 (equivalent to 111 Mg CO 2 ha -1 ). The study concluded that (i) coal C is responsible for overestimation of C stock in RMS (ii) Maximun C stock stored in aboveground biomass component and (iii) reclaimed mined lands will take approximately 17 years to reach the level of C stock of reference forest site in dry tropical climate.

“…In addition, field situations may have microsites that encounter high concentrations of pesticides, while other situations, such as oil spills may expose the soil to large amounts, and sometimes to repeated assaults. It may be possible to detect contaminants such as oil at natural abundance, and massive inputs of lignite and coal dust from mining operations were easily detected in SOM (Schmidt et al 1996Rumpel et al 1998). In a different type of environmental application, Hanna et al (1991) used 13 C CPMAS NMR to show large effects of chlorination on the structure of aquatic humic substances.…”

).Preston, C. M. 2001. Carbon-13 solid-state NMR of soil organic matter -using the technique effectively. Can. J. Soil Sci. 81: 255-270. Solid-state 13 C CPMAS NMR offers many options for characterizing carbon in soil organic matter (SOM). Its effectiveness, however, is often limited by a poor understanding of the techniques, and lack of hands-on access and training opportunities for students. Of nearly 250 modern NMR systems in Canada, approximately one is genuinely available for SOM studies, and there is poor communication between NMR operators and SOM users. While quantitative reliability can be addressed to some extent by multiple contact-time experiments or single-pulse (Bloch decay) spectra, it is also important to consider the effects of spectrometer background, spinning sidebands (especially with higher magnetic fields) and processing operations such as linebroadening, phasing and baseline correction. In many studies, more consideration needs to be given to instrument specifications, the type of information needed, and whether sample fractionation or pretreatment should be used. Structural information can be greatly enhanced by dipolar-dephasing and sideband suppression sequences. Sequences based on relaxation differences can reveal pools of carbon with different structures. Data analysis can be enhanced by principal component analysis, spectrum deconvolution and difference spectra. Studies of xenobiotics and C metabolism can be greatly aided by 13 C-labeling. However, a key limitation to SOM applications remains the gap in culture and expectations of the users.Key words: Soil organic matter, 13 C CPMAS NMR, Bloch decay, dipolar dephasing, spinning sidebands Preston, C. M. 2001. Analyse de la matière organique du sol par RMN au 13 C électronique -de l'importance de bien utiliser la technique. Can. J. Soil Sci. 81: 255-270. La RMN CPMAS 13 C électronique permet de caractériser le carbone présent dans la matière organique du sol (MOS) de diverses manières. Il arrive souvent cependant que cette technique perde de son efficacité parce qu'on la connaît mal et parce que les étudiants n'ont pas eu la chance de l'examiner ou de l'expérimenter. Sur les 250 systèmes modernes de RMN existant au Canada, un seul, à peu près, est vraiment réservé à l'étude de la MOS; de plus, la communication passe mal entre les opérateurs de systèmes RMN et les utilisateurs de MOS. Bien qu'on puisse remédier dans une certaine mesure au problème de la fiabilité quantitative en multipliant les expériences sur la durée de contact ou en recourant au spectre obtenu après une seule impulsion (décroissance de Bloch), il ne faut pas négliger les effets de l'arrière-plan du spectromètre, de la rotation des bandes latérales (surtout quand le champ magnétique est puissant) et des opérations de traitement comme l'élargissement des lignes, la mise en phase et la correction de la ligne de base. Dans de nombreux cas, on devrait accorder plus d'attention aux paramètres de l'instrument, au genre de données requises et à la nécessité de fractionner et...
