tailieunhanh - After-effect of long-term soil management on soil respiration and other qualitative parameters under prolonged dry soil conditions

Climatic conditions of environmental zone Nemoral 2 of Europe are favorable for agricultural development. However, more frequent events of hot air-waves and prolonged droughts occurring as a consequence of climate change lead to soil moisture content reduction down to the plant wilting point. | Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry Turk J Agric For (2015) 39: 633-651 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Article After-effect of long-term soil management on soil respiration and other qualitative parameters under prolonged dry soil conditions 1, 2 3 3 3,4 Dalia FEIZIENE *, Dalia JANUSAUSKAITE , Virginijus FEIZA , Agne PUTRAMENTAITE , Ausra SINKEVICIENE , 2 3 3 3 1 Skaidre SUPRONIENE , Vytautas SEIBUTIS , Grazina KADZIENE , Irena DEVEIKYTE , Sigitas LAZAUSKAS , 1 1 Daiva JANUSAUSKAITE , Virmantas POVILAITIS 1 Department of Plant Nutrition and Agroecology, Institute of Agriculture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Akademija, Kedainiai District, Lithuania 2 Department of Plant Pathology and Protection, Institute of Agriculture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Akademija, Kedainiai District, Lithuania 3 Department of Soil and Crop Management, Institute of Agriculture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Akademija, Kedainiai District, Lithuania 4 Institute of Agroecosystems and Soil Sciences, Aleksandras Stulginskis University, Akademija, Kaunas District, Lithuania Received: Accepted/Published Online: Printed: Abstract: Climatic conditions of environmental zone Nemoral 2 of Europe are favorable for agricultural development. However, more frequent events of hot air-waves and prolonged droughts occurring as a consequence of climate change lead to soil moisture content reduction down to the plant wilting point. Dry soil conditions may have negative consequences for soil as a habitat. The goal of this study was to evaluate the cumulative after-effect of long-term conventional (CT) and no-tillage (NT) application in combination with or without crop residues on soil physicochemical properties, microbiological activity, and soil respiration (SR) under prolonged dry soil conditions. Long-term CT with .
