چکیده انگلیسی
In the southeastern United States, conservation tillage techniques are used to conserve soil nutrients and structure, providing habitat and substrate for biota, which are largely responsible for the mineralization of nutrients in the soil. A deterrent for growers considering the transition to conservation tillage is the delay in soil response (e.g. increased soil carbon, efficient nutrient cycling, impacts on yield) associated with the equilibration of the soil food web. The objective of this study was to determine if the microbial community composition and biomass changed with transition to conservation tillage. Soils sampled from five sites, representing a chronosequence of conservation tillage (from conventionally tilled to 30 year no-till), were collected for fatty acid analysis. Microbial communities were significantly different among sites. Fungi, characterized by 18:2Ï6, 18:1Ï9, and 18:3Ï6c fatty acids, were typically lowest in the conventionally tilled soil, probably due to repeated disruption of the fungal hyphae associated with tillage. In all soils, soil nutrient concentrations, moisture and microarthropod abundance were correlated with microbial structure. Plots in conservation tillage were significantly different from the conventionally tilled plots, but did not exhibit a clear linear pattern across the chronosequence. This evidence that belowground food webs can respond quickly to a cessation in tillage suggests that the delay in soil response may be due more to the time required to build organic matter than to a slow response by the biota.
