The Inorganic Carbon Fixation Improved by Long-Term Manure Fertilization in Kastanozems under Rotation System of North China

In China, manure is the most abundant organic fertilizer product. Understanding the changes in soil inorganic carbon (SIC) resulting from long-term manure fertilization is vital for accurately evaluating agricultural soil carbon stocks and predicting global change.

description In China, manure is the most abundant organic fertilizer product. Understanding the changes in soil inorganic carbon (SIC) resulting from long-term manure fertilization is vital for accurately evaluating agricultural soil carbon stocks and predicting global change. However, a comprehensive and quantitative understanding of the impacts of long-term fertilization on SIC is lacking. This study was conducted to assess the effects of SIC changes in topsoil (0–20 cm), aggregates of kastanozems and influencing factors under the potato-rape-naked oats cultivation system after 16 years of long-term different fertilization in Wuchuan station. The results showed that 16 years of application of manure promoted the fixation of SIC by 2.25 t ha<sup>−1</sup>–3.25 t ha<sup>−1</sup>. As soil organic carbon (SOC) content, exchangeable calcium and magnesium concentrations in free coarse particulate organic matter (cfPOM) increased, the crystallization of carbonate was promoted at the aggregate level. The distribution proportion of free-coarse particulate organic matter (cfPOM) and microaggregates in mineral-related organic matter (iMOM) were also increased which affected the content of SIC. However, the pH value of NPKM treatment was lower than that of M treatment, which reduced the amount of carbonate crystallization. Thus, the application of manure alone was the best way to promote the fixation of SIC in topsoil rather than manure combined with chemical NPK fertilize. This work provides a new insight into the conversion of inorganic carbon, which is beneficial to promote the sequestration of inorganic carbon.
