“…Cong, et al . 34 reported that compared to arable land, 5 years of afforestation caused a decrease in SOC and N concentration, whereas 25 years of afforestation resulted in an increase in SOC content. SOC increased by 5.2 g/kg and 10.4 g/kg, whereas total N significantly increased 0.2 g/kg to 0.6 g/kg after nearly 40 year afforested Hippophae ( Hippophae rhamnoides ) and afforested Robinia ( Robinia pseudoacacia ) of former arable lands, respectively 35 .…”

Analysis of soil properties, the compositional traits in bulk soil and different fractions and their responses to afforestation practices may possibly facilitate clarification of the mechanisms underlying soil changes. Soil properties, the compositional functional groups and minerals were determined in the bulk soil and fractions from forests and adjacent farmlands. The afforestation of farmland could induce accumulation of soil organic carbon [SOC] (+18%) and nitrogen [N] (+4%) with pH increase (+4%), and declines in electric conductivity (−15%) and bulk density (−3%). Sand and aggregates [SA] and easily oxidized fraction [EO] mainly contributed to the SOC and N accumulation. Moreover, afforestation-induced changes were observed in O-H & N-H stretching (−26%), feldspar (+52%) and huntite crystallinity (−40%). The changes of soil properties were strongly associated with the changes in functional groups, followed by minerals. Of them, asymmetric COO- & C = O stretching & O-H bending, symmetric COO- stretching, huntite and smectite-vermiculite crystallinity were the key factors responsible for the changes of soil properties. Our findings highlight that degraded farmland afforestation could strongly affect soil properties in the bulk soil, and the changes in fractions (mainly SA and EO) as well as their changes in the compositional traits strongly supported these bulk soil changes.

“…The effect of land‐use changes on the lignin compounds has been tested (Cong et al, ; de Baets et al, ; Schellekens et al, ), but studies of lignin related to the abandonment of arable land and revegetation processes in humid Mediterranean mountains are currently lacking. In addition, although there is a consensus among researchers on the effect of different vegetation types and land use on the lignin content and occurrence of the various lignin monomers, there is still considerable variation within these studies.…”

“…In the Central Spanish Pyrenees, for example, these abandoned fields were then afforested with Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Black pine (Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold), or covered with natural or secondary succession or with prolonged fodder cultivation (meadows) (Lasanta, Vicente-Serrano, & Cuadrat, 2005). Afforestation influences the composition of soil organic matter (SOM) (Cong, Ren, & Li, 2016;Perez-Cruzado et al, 2014;Schellekens, Buurman, & Kuyper, 2012). It represents the largest carbon pool in terrestrial environments and its composition and quantity depend on: (a) the quality (or the nature) of the inputs, which are derived from organic materials added to the soil primarily by the breakdown of plant residues, (b) degradation processes regulated by microorganisms and (c) organo-mineral interactions (Zech et al, 1996).…”

Afforestation is an important strategy that can decrease atmospheric carbon by sequestering carbon in biomass and soil. In Spain, an active afforestation programme was adopted in the 1950s when the soil was severely eroded after widespread abandonment of arable land. The Araguás catchment (Central Spanish Pyrenees) is a good example of this programme because it was afforested with both Pinus sylvestris L. (PS) and Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold (PN). The soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and lignin content (based on the vanillyl, syringyl and cinnamyl contents) of these afforested soils were examined and compared to those of bare soil, secondary succession and meadow soils. Both the SOC stock and lignin content were used to evaluate the effects of land‐use changes on soil. Curie‐point pyrolysis with tetramethylammonium hydroxide was used to assess the lignin content. In the bare soil, there was none of the lignin compounds. The largest SOC stock and lignin content occurred under PN and secondary succession sites. A decreasing trend for the lignin content, related to the limited organic matter input and the longer degradation period, was observed at deeper horizons in all soils except meadows. These meadow soils also showed increased SOC stocks in deeper horizons. Land abandonment reduced the SOC stock although no significant differences were observed in the organic carbon incorporation assessed through lignin content (and if this was so it was restricted to the top centimetre or so). According to the results, PN was the best afforestation practice for increasing SOC stock and lignin content in soil. Pinus sylvestris afforestation was less successful than secondary succession at increasing SOC sequestration and lignin content. Highlights Effects of long‐term afforestation and land abandonment assessed in Mediterranean humid mountain soils. Soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and lignin content were used as indicators. Bare soil had the smallest SOC stock and lignin content. Afforestation with Pinus nigra was the best practice, increasing SOC stock and lignin content.

“…Los suelos son la base principal para la diversidad de los ecosistemas y soporte fundamental para la producción agrícola (Sial et al, 2019). Pero cabe recalcar que después de la década de los 50, con la inadecuada utilización de prácticas agronómicas como el monocultivo extensivo bajo un manejo con pesticidas en exceso ocasiona el agotamiento de la fertilidad de los suelos; por tanto, un descenso para la producción de las plantas (Cong et al, 2016;Sial et al, 2019). Este proceso antrópico ocasionó el deterioro progresivo de las propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas del suelo (Barrera-León et al, 2020).…”

Comparar los efectos del biochar de cacao en combinación con óxido de silicio (SiO2) y biol en plantas de banano en desarrollo, fue el objetivo principal del trabajo que se realizó en una hectárea cultivada con banano (Musa sp.), donde fueron seleccionadas 10 plantas de 1.50 m de alto por tratamiento conformados por: 10 g biochar de cadao, 100 g SiO2 y 100 ml de biol (T1); 20 g de biochar de cacao, 100 g SiO2, 150 ml de biol (T2); 30 g de biochar de cacao, 100 g SiO2, 250 ml de biol (T3) y 100 g SiO2 (T0, testigo). Los resultados indicaron diferencias significativas (p>0.05) en la medición del diámetro del pseudotallo (T1=57.6 cm, T2=53.7 cm, T3=53.1 cm, T0= 52.1 cm) y en la emisión foliar de T1 (9 hojas) y T3 (8 hojas) con el resto de tratamientos (T2 y T0, 11 hojas). En altura del hijo solo se registró diferencias numéricas (T1=217.8 cm; T2=205.30 cm; T3=207.8 cm; T0=195.4 cm). El efecto de los tratamientos sobre el desarrollo de las plantas fue notorio, en particular en T1 y T2 frente al testigo. Se confirma el hallazgo que dosis mayores de 30 g de bichar por planta puede alcalinizar el suelo e inhibir la acción del biol y de esta forma disminuir el efecto sobre la planta.
