Abstract:
      Based on monitoring data from an 8-year long-term fertilization experiment on the Tibetan Plateau farmland by Lhasa Plateau Ecological Research Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences, effects of different fertilization treatments on part of indicators of soil quality (soil mechanical composition, soil bulk density, organic matters, pH, microbial biomass C) were studied. Compared with the chemical fertilizer plot, soil quality of farmland applying sheep manure merely and sheep manure and chemical fertilizer simultaneously showed significant difference:(1) The gravel particle content increased but silt and clay particle content decreased in 0~20 cm soil layer;(2) Top soil bulk density decreased by 10.1% and 10.0%, respectively; (3) Soil organic content increased by 72.8% and 65.6%, and the soil pH was stabilized; (4) The soil microbial biomass increased significantly in farmland. Soil microbial biomass carbon average in farmland after fertilization ranked as following: Manure > Manure + Chemical Fertilizer > CK > Chemical Fertilizer during highland barley growth season and post-harvest season.Above results suggested that application of manure can significantly improve the soil quality in plateau farmland, therefore more organic fertilizer should be returned to the farmland in Tibet.
