Abstract

Spatial variability in soil pH is a major contributor to within-field variations in soil fertility and crop productivity. An improved understanding of the spatial variability of soil pH within agricultural fields is required to determine liming requirements for precision farming. This study with the use of proximal sensors, firstly assessed the spatial pattern of soil pH and how it can be used to determine site-specific, spatially variable lime requirements. Secondly, the effects of soil pH on soil concentrations of nitrate nitrogen (N03-N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur (SO4-S), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), soil organic matter (SOM), aluminum (Al), and manganese (Mn) were assessed in three study fields in central Alberta, Canada. Soil pH varied between 4.5 and 7.5 across all field sites. The field-scale coefficient of variation (CV %) for soil pH, Al and Mn ranged between 4.39 and 7.50 %, 7.33–13.72 %, and 7.33–13.72 % across the three sites. The other soil properties showed low, moderate, and high variability, with field-scale CVs ranging between 6.39 and 17.70 % for SOM and 24.33–91.39 % for SO4-S. Soil pH exhibited positive correlations with both Ca and Mg, across all fields. Negative correlations were observed between soil pH and Al across all fields. A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed for all soil parameters and two principal components accounted for 50 %, 54.9 %, and 76.8 % of the total variance in field 1, field 2, and field 3, respectively. Geostatistical semivariance indicated a strong spatial dependence of all chemical parameters across fields. Large regions within a field were strongly acidic (pH

Abstract

With respect to the pedosphere, human activities in the last 100 years have been the major driver of soil change. Despite human activities being one of the main soil forming factors recognized by soil scientists (in addition to climate, organisms, parent material, relief, groundwater, and time), the Canadian System of Soil Classification (CSSC) emphasizes soil as a natural body. We argue human agricultural activities are direct and indirect drivers of significant changes to the carbon balance and cycling in A horizons of Gray Luvisolic soils in western Canada, resulting in changes to A horizon carbon stocks, structure, and micromorphology. Evidence from scientific literature, in-field soil profile observations, and the National Pedon Database are presented in support of our argument. We propose a polygenetic, two-stage model of Gray Luvisol soil formation. The first stage is dominated by the climate forcing of the Holocene, resulting in a relatively stable boreal forest ecosystem including perturbations from natural and human-induced wildfire and other disturbances. The second stage is dominated by direct, human-driven disturbances such as cultivation, release of exotic fauna (earthworms), and indirect human-driven disturbances associated with anthropogenic climate change. Further, we propose modest amendments to the CSSC to reflect a polygenetic model of soil genesis in Gray Luvisolic soils that preserve the balance between observation and interpretation inherent in the system.

Abstract

Potential carbon mineralization (Cmin) is a commonly used indicator of soil health, with greater Cmin values interpreted as healthier soil. While Cmin values are typically greater in agricultural soils managed with minimal physical disturbance, the mechanisms driving the increases remain poorly understood. This study assessed bacterial and archaeal community structure and potential microbial drivers of Cmin in soils maintained under various degrees of physical disturbance. Potential carbon mineralization, 16S rRNA sequences, and soil characterization data were collected as part of the North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements (NAPESHM). Results showed that type of cropping system, intensity of physical disturbance, and soil pH influenced microbial sensitivity to physical disturbance. Furthermore, 28% of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), which were important in modeling Cmin, were enriched under soils managed with minimal physical disturbance. Sequences identified as enriched under minimal disturbance and important for modeling Cmin, were linked to organisms which could produce extracellular polymeric substances and contained metabolic strategies suited for tolerating environmental stressors. Understanding how physical disturbance shapes microbial communities across climates and inherent soil properties and drives changes in Cmin provides the context necessary to evaluate management impacts on standardized measures of soil microbial activity.
