Comparación de la estabilidad estructural de suelos de prado y cultivo

Abstract

[ES]: Se comparan las propiedades estructurales de dos suelos de la zona templado-húmeda española desarrollados sobre granito, dedicados a prado permanente y cultivo, a fin de valorar el impacto del tipo de manejo sobre la calidad estructural. El suelo de prado presentó unas propiedades estructurales más favorables, tales como una menor densidad aparente y mayor porosidad, un mayor tamaño medio de agregados, y una mayor estabilidad de los agregados frente a la agitación mecánica en agua y frente a la acción de la lluvia simulada. Esta mayor estabilidad estructural del suelo de prado se relaciona con su mayor contenido de materia orgánica (MOS). Asimismo, el suelo de prado presentó una mayor actividad microbiana, según se deduce de los valores más altos de respiración en experimentos de incubación, en comparación con el suelo de cultivo. El suelo de prado también presentó los valores más elevados de cociente respiratorio (C-CO2/C orgánico total), de lo que se deduce que la MOS del suelo de prado es más accesible a la degradación microbiana. Sin embargo no se observaron diferencias significativas entre la mineralización del carbono orgánico del suelo disgregado (<1mm) y de agregados intactos del mismo suelo (5-1 mm). Los resultados de este trabajo ponen en evidencia la necesidad de mantener niveles adecuados de MOS a través de enmiendas o reducción del laboreo.

[EN]: We compared the structural properties of two neighbouring soils from the NW of Spain in order to evaluate the effect of management on structural quality. The soils were developed on granite under a warm and humid climate but differed in land use (pasture and cultivation). The pasture soil had more favourable structural properties than the cultivated soil, showing lower bulk density, higher porosity and water retention, higher mean aggregate diameter and aggregate stability against mechanical agitation in air and water, as well as lower soil loss under simulated rainfall. This increased structural stability of the pasture soil could be attributed to its elevated organic matter (OM) content. More C-CO2 was also released by OM mineralization in laboratory incubated pasture soil samples than in culture soils, due to higher microbial activity. Respiratory quotient (C-CO2/Corg total) was also higher in the pasture soil, thus indicating that the OM is more accessible to microbial decomposition. Nevertheless no significant differences were observed between organic C mineralization in disturbed ground soil <1 mm and undisturbed 5-1 mm aggregates. The overall results demonstrate the need to maintain adequate levels of OM by means of organic amendments or tillage reduction.
