Description
Summary:SUMMARY There is a lack of information on differences between organic and conventional soil management practices effects on the soil organic matter and aggregate fractions. [...]our research aimed to investigate those land-use systems to better understand the relationship between soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil structural properties in field crops production. According to Bronick and Lal (2005) developments of soil structure depends on the soil aggregation processes and mediates many physical soil functions and gives us the understanding of the carbon turnover and distribution in relation to applied management practices. [...]quantification of the labile SOM fraction could be better indicator because it is directly controlled by management practices. Since the SOM is a major pool of soil organic carbon (SOC), sensitive to changes in climate or local environment (Schmidt et al., 2011), investigation of fractions that is most prone to land-use changes are required (Ćirić, 2016). Though, an individual approach is required for each farm to assure proper selection of agro-biological measures suitable for pedo-climatic conditions. [...]the aim of this study was to investigate differences between organic and conventional land-use systems to better understand the relationship between soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural properties in field crops production.
