Soil is a critical component of the global sulfur (S) cycle acting as source and a sink for various S species and mediating changes of S oxidation states. However, very little is known about the identities of these specific organic and inorganic S containing molecules, especially in Brazilian soils under no-tillage (NT) system. Thus, the objectives of this study were: (i) to report long and medium term effects of the application of lime and up to 12 t ha-1 of phosphogypsum (PG) in samples from two Oxisols collected in field experiments carried out under no-tillage (NT) systems; (ii) to assess the effect of PG application on the amount, form and distribution of organic and inorganic S pools in soils under NT comparing to a natural forest ; (iii) to investigate C, N and S mineralization/immobilization in soil samples affected by plant residues and biochar, thus identifying the major transformations in the S fractions. After 13 years of lime application in a loamy Oxisol, changes in soil acidity and exchangeable Ca2+ ad Mg2+ supply were visible up to 80 cm depth. The effect of PG providing Ca2+ and S-SO4 2- were more pronounced at lower depths. S-SO4 2- distribution in the soil profile was mostly correlated with contents of free dithionite extractable Fe (Fed) and amorphous dithionite extractable Fe minus oxalate extractable Fe (Fed-Feo). There was no effect of lime and PG in maize grain yield, showing that the plants were unable to benefit of the soil ameliorations. An appreciable movement of sulfate to the subsoil was observed in soil samples from a clayey Oxisol, even in a medium-term (after 3.5 years), despite the fact that the soil had presented high SO4 2- adsorption capacity. In this area, PG had positive benefits in cereal crop yield due to the supply of Ca2+ and S-SO4 2-. PG application and changes in landuse practice alters both quantitative (evaluated by the wet-chemical technique) and qualitative (evaluated by means of X-Ray Near Edge Structure - XANES spectroscopy) composition of S functional groups in this wet subtropical Brazilian soil under NT. Compared to the forest site, soils under NT system had lower amounts of organic C, total N and total S Sulfur losses due to cultivation were higher than losses of C and N, and the use of fertilizers containing S seems to be vital for the recovery of S moieties. The dynamics of the plant materials decomposition was mostly governed by the C/S ratio. Sulfur mineralization was driven by the form of S in the starting materials rather than S concentration in the tissue, as revealed by XANES. The incorporation of plant residues and biochar led to an increase in the amount of ester sulfate in the early stage of incubation, which was further mineralized and had a steady decline at the end of evaluation. These findings encourage further investigations of biochar as S source, involving particularly chars produced from different feedstocks and pyrolysis temperatures. / O solo é um componente crítico do ciclo global de enxofre (S), agindo como fonte e dreno das várias espécies de S e mediando mudanças nos seus estados de oxidação. No entanto, pouco se sabe sobre as identidades dos compostos orgânicos e inorgânicos de S, especialmente em solos brasileiros sob plantio direto (PD). Assim, os objetivos deste estudo foram: (i) relatar os efeitos a longo e médio prazo da aplicação de calcário e de até 12 t ha-1 de fosfogesso (FG) em amostras de dois Latossolos coletadas em experimentos de campo realizados sob PD; (ii) avaliar o efeito da aplicação de PG na quantidade, forma e distribuição das frações orgânicas e inorgânicas de S em solos sob PD em comparação com uma floresta natural; (iii) investigar a mineralização/imobilização de C, N e S em amostras de solo afetadas por fontes de resíduos vegetais e biocarvão, identificando as transformações nas frações de S. Após 13 anos de aplicação de calcário em um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico de textura média, foi verificado efeito na correção da acidez do solo e no fornecimento de Mg2+ até 80 cm de profundidade enquanto os efeitos do FG fornecendo Ca2+ e S-SO4 2- foram mais pronunciados em profundidade. A distribuição de S-SO4 2- no perfil deste solo foi correlacionada com o conteúdo de Fe-ditionito (Fed) e Fe-ditionito menos Fe-oxalato (Fed, Feo). Não houve efeito do calcário e do FG na produção de grãos de milho, mostrando que as plantas não puderam se beneficiar das melhorias no solo. Foi observado apreciável movimento de S para o subsolo em amostras de um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico muito argiloso, mesmo em médio prazo (após 3,5 anos), apesar de o solo apresentar alta capacidade de adsorção de sulfato. Nesta área, o FG teve efeitos positivos no rendimento das culturas de cereais, devido ao fornecimento de Ca2+ e S-SO4 2- . A aplicação de FG e as mudanças no uso da terra alteraram tanto a composição quantitativa (avaliada pela técnica de fracionamento químico) quanto qualitativa (avaliada por meio da espectroscopia de raios-X próxima à borda de absorção - XANES) dos grupos funcionais de S em um solo subtropical da região úmida sob PD. Em comparação com o PD, os solos sob floresta apresentaram maior conteúdo de C orgânico, N e S total. As perdas de S devido ao cultivo foram superiores às perdas de C e N, e o uso de fertilizantes sulfatados parece ser vital para a recuperação do S do solo. A dinâmica de decomposição dos materiais vegetais foi principalmente regida pela razão C/S. A mineralização de enxofre foi impulsionada pela forma de S nos materiais iniciais, e não pela concentração S no tecido, conforme revelado por XANES. A incorporação de resíduos vegetais e biocarvão levou ao aumento nos ésteres de sulfato na fase inicial de incubação, fração posteriormente mineralizada, apresentando declínio no final da avaliação. Estas descobertas incentivam mais investigações do biocarvão como fonte de S, envolvendo carvões produzidos a partir de diferentes matérias-primas e temperaturas de pirólise.

Long-term food security and environmental quality are closely linked to maintaining soil quality. Therefore, the assessment of the effect of agricultural management practices on soil chemical, physical and biological parameters provide fundamental information about sustainability. An agricultural management practice which has received much attention in the last decade is tillage. The loss of topsoil due to erosion and a reduction of soil organic matter under conventional tillage practices, together with escalating fuel prices, have lead to the increased implementation of conservation tillage practices. However, the response of soil to a reduction in tillage is dependent on the inherent soil properties, environmental conditions, crop type and the land management practices. The successful implementation of conservation tillage practices is thus site specific. Furthermore, the effect of fertilizer application on soil quality is affected by tillage regime and therefore has important implications for recommendations of fertilizer application rates. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of tillage regime at three rates of nitrogen fertilization on soil microbial activity and selected soil physical properties in the Loskop area of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Based on the outcomes of these investigations, recommendations regarding sustainable tillage practice and nitrogen fertilizer application rate are made. A field trial was initiated in 2003 on Gourton Farm in the Loskop area of KwaZulu-Natal on an area that was previously under annual conventional tillage and is currently planted to dry-land maize. The trial was arranged as a split plot experimental design with tillage regime (whole plots) replicated three times, and fertilizer type and application rate forming randomized subplots within the whole plots. The trial was on a clay loam soil type (Hutton soil form). The effects of annual conventional tillage (CT1) and no-till (NT) at three rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer (as limestone ammonium nitrate (LAN)) applied at rates of 0 kg N ha-1 annum-1 (0N), 100 kg N ha-1 annum-1 (100N) and 200 kg N ha-1 annum-1 (200N) were evaluated for their effects on soil organic carbon (SOC), microbial activity, bulk density (ñb), water retention characteristics, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), micro-aggregate stability and soil penetration resistance. Undisturbed soil cores were taken from three inter-rows in triplicate from each sub-plot for the A horizon (0 to 20 cm) and from three inter-rows in duplicate for the B horizon (20 to 40 cm). These undisturbed soil cores were used to determine the ñb, water retention characteristics and Ks. Bulk soil samples were collected from three inter-rows in triplicate from each sub-plot for the A (0 to 20 cm) and B (20 to 40 cm) horizons. The bulk samples from each horizon in each sub-plot were thoroughly mixed and halved. One half was used to determine microbial activity as measured by the hydrolytic and cellulolytic activity and the other half was used to determine SOC content, particle size distribution and aggregate stability. Penetration resistance was taken in duplicate in three rows in each sub-plot at 1 cm increments to a depth of 50 cm or until an instrument limiting penetration resistance of 5000 kPa was reached. Tillage regime and N application rate considerably affected soil microbial and physical properties in the A horizon (0 to 20 cm). The SOC, hydrolytic activity and ñb are significantly greater (P 0.05) effect on the soil microbial activity and physical properties except for Ks, where the Ks is significantly (P 0.05) in the B horizon on the measured soil microbial activity and physical properties except for the penetration resistance. Increasing levels of fertilizer resulted in increased penetration resistance throughout the soil profile under NT. Under CT1, this same trend is evident from below the plough layer. These results indicate that the microbial activity, as measured by hydrolytic and cellulolytic activity, is improved under NT compared to CT1. Furthermore, the soil under NT retains more plant available water (PAW) and although the ñb and penetration resistance are greater there was no obvious adverse effect on maize growth. In addition, a high rate of LAN fertilizer adversely affected soil microbial and physical properties, especially under NT. Therefore, it is proposed that NT is the preferred tillage practice in providing long-term sustainability and soil health without causing negative soil structural properties for crop productivity in the short-term. In addition, it is recommended that although increased levels of nitrogen fertilizer results in higher yielding maize plants it is unsustainable to apply high applications of LAN due to the negative effect on the soil microbial and physical properties and thus there is a need to re-evaluate the sustainability of using high rates of LAN to increase crop yields, especially under NT systems. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2010.

Soil organic matter (SOM) is a dynamic soil property, sensitive and responsive to many factors. The possibility of increasing soil carbon (C) sequestration by changing land use and management practices has been of great interest recently due to concerns with global changes in the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) balance. Nonetheless, as a result of the complex dynamics of SOM, there is still the need for SOM characterization procedures capable of monitoring SOM stabilization, taking into account all the factors involved. This study characterized SOM stabilization as affected by management practices in three long-term field experiments, considering physical, chemical and biological components. The field experiments are located near Lexington, Kentucky, on a Maury silt loam (fine, mixed, mesic Typic Paleudalfs). The first experiment evaluates tillage and nitrogen (N) rate effects. The second experiment studies manure and N rate effects. The third experiment evaluates the five corn components of three crop rotations [continuous (monoculture) corn, corn-wheat/double crop soybean, and hay-hay-corn-corn-corn]. Soil organic matter content, stability, and composition, for physically separated fractions, were assessed using δ13C natural abundance and diffuse reflectance Fourier transformed infrared (DRIFT) spectroscopy. In addition, management effects on microbial biomass and microbial function as indicated by phenol oxidase enzyme activity were evaluated. The results indicate that management practices affect SOM content, stability, and composition, and these effects differ by the soil aggregate fraction. No-tillage (NT), N fertilization, manure application and increased corn in crop rotations enhanced SOM levels. However, the effect of NT was observed mainly at the soil surface. Soil organic matter storage was determined by the aggregate size distribution. The proportion of recently deposited C was generally positively related to aggregate size, especially for the first and third experiments. Most of the recently deposited C was stabilized in microaggregates within macroaggregates, across the management treatments and field experiments. In addition, this fraction consistently exhibited low to medium SOM reactivity. These results suggest that SOM stabilization, as influenced by management practices, required achieving a specific composition and location within the soil matrix. This implies that soil C forms and aggregate size and stability are closely interrelated.

Eutrophication resulting from phosphorus (P) accumulation in water systems has been a worldwide concern for three decades. Agricultural soils are known to be an important non-point source of P in waterways. The objectives of this research are to identify agricultural management practices that reduce the risk of P loss from soils, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of P retention and loss from soils. In the short term (4 years), dissolved P loads were not affected by tillage and were similar in corn (in a continuous corn rotation) and soybean (in a soybean/corn rotation) production systems. Soils amended with composted cattle manure had a greater P load than chemically fertilized soils. On average, 30% of the total P leached was in organic P forms, indicating that organic P compounds could also be problematic to water systems. Although manure application improved soil aggregation and thus may increase P retention by avoiding soil erosion, P loss through subsurface flow by leaching may be substantial. A simple soil test, either Mehlich-3 P or P saturation ratio can predict the P leaching potential, but water ponding on the surface of agricultural land could significantly affect the accuracy of the prediction. / The P adsorption data was fit with the Langmuir 2-surface model, which predicted that up to 90% of the native adsorbed P was distributed on the high-energy surface. Native adsorbed P in manured soils was weakly retained, as the binding strength coefficient was 50 times less in manured than chemically fertilized soil. This findings was confirmed by measuring P desorption, which showed that P desorption rate was almost 3 times greater from manured soils than from chemically fertilized soils. Manuring alters soil particle surfaces by increasing negative charge. This is the direct reason for less P adsorption and greater P desorption by manured soils. / The Langmuir 2-surface model and the adapted non-ideal competitive adsorption (MICA) model were equally good at modeling P adsorption data. However, the NICA model is more robust and can predict phosphate adsorption with changing soil solution pH. The simultaneously modeling of P adsorption and hydroxyl adsorption with the NICA model makes it a promising tool for analyzing competitive adsorption among anions in soils.

The use of sewage sludge in the agricultural is an organic recycle alternative material in the soil. The CONAMA resolution 375/2006 indicates that in certain relief condition the sewage sludge could be applied without soil incorporation, making it possible to use in areas with no-till. The present study was carried out with the aim to evaluate nitrogen and carbon mineralization dynamics during the sewage sludge and oat straw decomposition in the surface or in the soil incorporation. The treatments consisted of the sewage sludge application, in the presence and in the absence of oat straw, with and without soil incorporation. During 110 days of incubation, the CO2 emission and the mineral N dynamics was evaluated after the organic materials soil application. The sewage sludge soil incorporation not affected by the C and N mineralization. In the treatment with only sewage sludge 30% of C and 50% of N added with the sewage sludge were mineralized in 110 days. The application of sewage sludge with the straw of oats increased the C mineralization of oat straw only when those organic materials remained in the soil surface. The N immobilization is not affected by the sewage sludge incorporation and oat straw in the soil, however it is stimulated in the presence of the straw. / O uso agrícola do lodo é uma alternativa para a reciclagem desse material orgânico no solo. Recentemente a resolução 375/2006 do CONAMA indica que em certas condições de relevo o lodo de esgoto pode ser aplicado sem a necessidade de realizar a sua incorporação ao solo, possibilitando o seu uso em áreas manejadas em sistema plantio direto. O presente trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar a mineralização do carbono e a dinâmica do nitrogênio durante a decomposição de lodo de esgoto e palha de aveia mantidos na superfície ou incorporados ao solo. Os tratamentos consistiram da aplicação de lodo de esgoto, na presença e na ausência de palha de aveia, com e sem incorporação ao solo. Durante 110 dias foi avaliada a evolução do C-CO2 e a dinâmica do N mineral após aplicação dos materiais orgânicos ao solo. A mineralização do C e do N não foi afetada pela incorporação do lodo ao solo. No tratamento com o uso isolado do lodo de esgoto 30% do C e 50% do N adicionados com o lodo foram mineralizados em 110 dias. A aplicação de lodo de esgoto juntamente com a palha de aveia aumentou a mineralização do C da palha somente quando esses materiais orgânicos permaneceram na superfície do solo. A imobilização do N não é afetada pela incorporação conjunta do lodo de esgoto e da palha de aveia ao solo, mas é estimulada na presença da palha.

O sistema de manejo adotado e o tempo de cultivo acabam influenciando na disponibilidade de nutrientes, promovendo mudanças nas formas com que estes nutrientes se acumulam no solo, principalmente no caso do fósforo. Objetivou-se com o estudo avaliar as mudanças em longo prazo promovidas por sistemas de manejo do solo na fertilidade e nas frações de P em solos de Cerrado. Visando a melhor caracterização do bioma, foram analisados quatro experimentos de manejo do solo instalados em quatro locais representativos do Cerrado, sob Latossolo Vermelho (LV) ou Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo (LVA), localizados em Costa Rica-MS (LV-1), Sapezal-MT (LV-2), Luziânia-GO (LVA-1) e Tasso Fragoso-MA (LVA-2). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com parcelas subdividas, com parcelas constituídas pelos manejos, sendo eles o plantio direto (PD), o preparo convencional (PC) e a vegetação nativa (Cerrado), e como subparcelas foram consideradas as profundidades avaliadas: 0-5, 5-10 e 10-20 cm, com quatro repetições, totalizando 36 parcelas por área de estudo. Analisaram-se os atributos químicos do solo: potássio (K), cálcio (Ca) e magnésio (Mg) trocáveis, matéria orgânica (MO), acidez potencial (H + Al), e ainda a saturação por cátions no solo (V%). Realizou-se também o fracionamento do P visando identificar frações inorgânicas e orgânicas no solo. Os extratores, na sequência, foram: resina (PRTA), NaHCO3 0,5 mol L-1 (PiBIC e PoBIC), NaOH 0,1 mol L-1 (PiHID-0,1 e PoHID-0,1), HCl 1 mol L-1 (PHCl), NaOH 0,5 mol L-1 (PiHid-0,5 e PoHid-0,5) e a digestão do resíduo (PResidual, Pi e Po). A MO do solo foi influenciada diretamente pelo sistema de manejo, com aumento expressivo na camada superficial (0-5 cm) do solo quando manejado sob PD e com maior tempo no sistema. O pH, a acidez potencial e os teores trocáveis de K, Ca e Mg, bem como a saturação por bases do solo, em superfície (0-10 cm), foram maiores com a adoção do PD, comparado ao PC, em função deste manejo promover a deposição em superfície de corretivos, fertilizantes e resíduos vegetais no solo, o que não ocorre no PC. A adoção do PD resultou em acúmulo de frações orgânicas de P na camada superficial do solo e incrementou todas as frações inorgânicas de P, com maiores diferenças para o PC nos 10 primeiros cm do solo. O PC promoveu acúmulo de frações orgânicas de menor labilidade em subsuperfície nos solos argilosos. No solo mais arenoso a proporção das frações orgânicas de P foi muito inferior à observada em solos argilosos. / The soil management and cultivation time affect the availability of nutrients, changing the forms that they accumulate in the soil, especially in the case of phosphorus (P). This study aimed to evaluate the changes promoted by long-term tillage systems on soil fertility and on P fractions in Cerrado soils. To the better characterization of the biome, four experiments of soil management were analyzed, in four sites representing the Cerrado under Brazilian Oxisols (\"Latossolo Vermelho\", LV and \"Latossolo Vermelho-amarelo\", LVA) , located in Costa Rica - MS (LV-1) , Sapezal - MT (LV-2), Luziânia - GO (LVA-1) and Tasso Fragoso MA - (LVA-2). The experiments were distributed in a split plot randomized blocks design, with plots constituted of managements no-till (PD), conventional tillage (PC) and native vegetation (Cerrado), and the depths of 0-5, 5-10 and 10-20 cm were considered as subplots, with four replications, totaling 36 plots per study area. The soil chemical attributes analyzed were: exchangeable potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), organic matter (MO), potential acidity (H+Al) and soil cations saturation (V%). Also, the fractionation of P was analyzed to identify organic and inorganic P fractions, using the following extractors: resin (PRTA), NaHCO3 0.5 mol L-1 (PiBIC and PoBIC), NaOH 0.1 mol L-1 ( PiHID-0,1 and PoHID-0,1), HCl 1 mol L-1 (PHCL), NaOH 0.5 mol L-1 (PiHID-0,5 and PoHID-0,5) and residual P digestion (PResidual). The soil OM was directly affected by management systems, with expressive increase in the soil surface layer (0-5 cm) when managed under PD and longer time. The pH, potential acidity and levels of exchangeable K, Ca, Mg, and V% in soil surface (0-5 and 5-10 cm) were higher with PD compared to PC, because of surface lime and fertilizer applications and crop residues deposition, which doesn`t occur on PC management. The PD resulted in accumulation of organic P fractions in the soil surface layer and increased all the inorganic P fractions, with larger differences for the PC in the first 10 cm layer. The PC promoted accumulation of organic P fractions of lower lability in subsurface of the clayey soils. In sandy soil the proportion of organic P fractions was much lower than in clayey soils.
