| Abstract: |
| Surface mulching with crop straw and plastic film is an effective measure for soil carbon sequestration in dryland cropping systems. However, how soil carbon fractions respond to long term surface mulching is still unclear. Five treatments were set up as straw mulching during growing season at rates of 9 000 kg·hm-2 (HSM) and 4 500 kg·hm-2 (LSM), straw mulching at a rate of 9 000 kg·hm-2 during summer fallow period (FSM), plastic film mulch during growing season (PM), and no mulching control (CK). This study explored the effects of straw mulching and film mulching for 12 a and 13 a on soil organic carbon (SOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), potential carbon mineralization (PCM), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) under winter wheat in the Loess Plateau of China. Averaged across 2 a, compared to CK, both HSM and LSM increased the contents of all carbon fractions at 0~10 cm, and the contents of SOC, POC, and MBC at 10~20 cm. The proportions of POC and MBC to SOC were also greater in HSM and LSM than CK at 0~20 cm. Both FSM and PM had no effects on soil carbon fractions and their proportions to SOC at all soil layers when compared to CK. Soil carbon fractions were highly correlated with each other. In summary, long term straw mulching during the growing season enhanced carbon fractions in topsoil, and the increased straw mulching rate would help to sequester more carbon into soils. |
