Extracted samples and in situ soil investigations to assess the effects of different land use and tillage management practices on soil organic matter composition

The effects of land use change on soil organic carbon (SOC) content have been investigated extensively. However, little research has conducted how matter (SOM) chemistry changes under different management practices, particularly with cultivation methods. Thus, in this study, we compared the various including six medium-term tillage namely no-tillage, disking, shallow cultivation, deep ploughing, and loosening, a natural ecosystem, tree line, SOM composition. present study examined chernozem soils during spring autumn varying uses randomised complete block designs, four replicates at depth increments 0 to 10 cm. composition was characterised using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS). More intensive operations resulted larger changes. Overall, conservation tillage, more like line than conventional tillage. Both DRIFTS UV-VIS revealed that had lowest aromaticity (15%) and, therefore, lower decomposition rate higher recalcitrance cropland (27%). After observing relationship between operation aromaticity, increased increasing intensity. This demonstrates can alter structure stability compounds. We observed afforestation is similar results are obtained quickly (<40 years). Hence, regeneration agriculture may be superior solutions for SOM, sustainable agriculture, food security current climate conditions.
