The influence of the application of compost on the physical, chemical and microbiological qualities of degraded soil This diploma thesis is aimed at the influence of compost on the physical, chemical and microbiological qualities of degraded soils. The principal aim of the thesis is to answer the question whether the amelioration of the soil fertility after the application of compost could be attributed only to the changes of physical and chemical qualities of soil, or to the increase of soil microbial activity, or to the combination of both these possibilities. For answering the question, soil degraded by long-term application of mineral fertilizers was chosen and laboratory experiment was designed. The soil comes from the locality Březová nad Svitavou. The following parameters were monitored in the experiment: dry basis of the plant, leakage of ammonium and nitrate ions, physical parameters of soil, mycorrhiza, root exudate and their influence on microbial respiration. The obtained results prove that the application of compost improves soil fertility, especially thanks to the changes of physical and chemical parameters of soil.
