Soil organic matter fractions as early indicators for carbon stock changes under different land-use?

With respect to carbon sequestration in soil, attempts have been made to identify soil organic matter (SOM) fractions that respond more rapidly to changes in land-use than bulk SOM, which could thus serve as early indicators for the overall stock change. We used a combination of physical fractionati...

description With respect to carbon sequestration in soil, attempts have been made to identify soil organic matter (SOM) fractions that respond more rapidly to changes in land-use than bulk SOM, which could thus serve as early indicators for the overall stock change. We used a combination of physical fractionation (size and density separation) and chemical characterisation (C-to-N ratios, CuO lignin signature, 13C NMR spectroscopy) to identify sensitive SOM fractions in an agricultural system with sandy dystric cambisols in Bavaria, Germany, 7 years after a land-use change. Land-use types included long-term arable land and grassland, and conversion from one system to the other. Soil carbon and nitrogen contents in 0–3 cm increased from 14 to 39 mg organic carbon g −1 soil, and from 1.7 to 3.9 mg nitrogen g −1 soil in the following order: permanent arable, conversion grassland to arable, conversion arable to grassland, and permanent grassland. Wet sieving and ultrasonic dispersion with 22 J ml −1 released 20 μm relative to complete dispersion. The most sensitive fraction, with respect to land-use, was SOM in the fraction >20 μm not released after sequential wet sieving and ultrasonic dispersion. In contrast, the proportion of free light (wet sieving, density
