- Abstract:
-
The soil samples in orchard, dryland, paddy, and the field with dryland and paddy rotation were collected from Houhu state farm of Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, where is the centre of Jianghan plain. The total and active organic carbon, composition of humus, and light and heavy fractions were measured. The contents of organic carbon (OC) in topsoil were different under land use changes. The OC content for paddy soil was the highest and that for orchard soil was the lowest. The ratios of OC in humus to total SOC for orchard, dryland, paddy, and rotation soil were 0.98, 0.91, 0.78 and 0.86, respectively. The contents of OC in fulvic acid for paddy and rotation soils were higher than those in other soils. The proportion of stable organic carbon in total SOC was in the order of rotation≈dryland>orchard>paddy, and the light fraction followed the sequence of paddy>dryland>orchard>rotation. It was suggested that the SOC content would be increased under water culture. However, the SOC stability decreased under water culture, and it would lost easily when the environment changed. Rotation soil should be paid attention, which was both high in total and stable OC content. It indicates that rotation culture will not only increase SOC content, but also increase SOC stability. These results will be helpful to provide scientific references to develop rational ways of soil management and cultivation.
