Abstract

Abstract: Application of organic amendments is an effective approach for improving soil organic carbon and soil fertility. To investigate the effects of different organic amendments on soil organic carbon and its labile fraction content, a batch of incubation experiments was conducted on the fluvo-aquic soil in Dongting Lake region, Hunan Province. There were six treatments, including soil amended with rice straw, soil amended with Chinese milk vetch, soil amended with bio-organic fertilizer, soil amended with pig manure, and soil amended with rice straw-derived biochar, with unamended soil as control. Each treatment had the same amount of carbon input. After 180 days of incubation, application of organic amendments increased soil labile organic carbon content. Application of bio-organic fertilizer, pig manure and rice straw-derived biochar significantly increased soil organic carbon content by 26.1%, 9.7% and 30.7%, respectively. There was no significant change in soil organic carbon content in rice straw and Chinese milk vetch treatments which were more favourable to the accumulation of soil dissolved organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon. Pig manure was more favourable to the accumulation of soil dissolved organic carbon. Bio-organic fertili-zer could benefit the accumulation of soil microbial biomass carbon and readily oxidizable organic carbon. Rice straw-derived biochar could promote the accumulation of soil microbial biomass carbon and light fraction organic carbon. Compared with rice straw, soil carbon pool management index was increased by 31.8%, 111.6%, 62.2% and 50.7% in Chinese milk vetch, bio-organic fertilizer, pig manure and rice straw-derived biochar treatments, respectively. The performance of bio-organic fertilizer, pig manure, and rice straw biochar was better than rice straw and Chinese milk vetch from the perspective of soil carbon sequestration and soil carbon pool management index.
