“…It was observed that IC was relatively high in ORF system as compared to LOF and COF farming systems. Mostly arid and semiarid climate soils have high content of IC as compared to moist soils which have very low IC content due to long turnover period and occurrence of chemical processes which shows little effect on soil fertility (Kowalska et al, 2020).…”

The growth of agriculture led to indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and unsustainable crop management farming practices which can aggravate harmful impacts on the microbial population and physical and chemical characteristics of soil ecosystem. Based on this fact, the present study was planned to evaluate the effect of long run farming practices on different soil physico-chemical parameters and soil microbial abundance and diversity within different soil depth (0–20 cm and 20–40 cm) at Quzhou Experimental Station of China Agricultural University, Hebei, China during October and December, 2016. The effect of farming practices on soil microbial abundance and diversity was studied by phospho-lipid fatty acid (PLFA) and DNA high-throughput sequencing methods. The findings revealed that soil is neutral to slightly alkaline in nature with highest water content under organic farming (ORF) at 0–20 cm and least under conventional farming at 20–40 cm depth. It was found that the ORF significantly increased the contents of total organic carbon (TOC), total carbon (TC), ammonium nitrogen, available nitrogen (AN), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and available phosphorus (AP) followed by low input and conventional farming modes in both October and December soil samples. The correlation analysis showed significantly (at p ≤ 0.05 and 0.01) strong positive relationship within different physical and chemical properties of the soil under study. ANOVA and MANOVA analysis indicated significant effect of interaction between soil depth and farming modes on soil parameters. PCA analysis showed the most significant correlation between most of the bacterial types (G + bacteria, G− bacteria, actinomycetes) and soil AP, total available nitrogen, TOC and soil WC. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation between microbial phylum groups (Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Latescibacteria) and microbial class group (Alphaproteobacteria, Sphingobacteriia, Flavobacteriia) with most of the soil physicochemical properties.

PurposeCarbon storage in protected land is a practical climate stabilization strategy. It is increasingly being recognized as an essential means of safeguarding biomass carbon and improving local ecological conditions. Yet, increasing soil carbon sequestration by setting aside nature reserves does not depend only on the scale of the reserve but more so on the implementation and enforcement of the reserve protection policy. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned issues.Design/methodology/approachThe authors show how nature reserves established and managed by different administrative levels affect carbon sequestration. Empirically, the authors estimate a time-varying difference-in-difference model that exploits China's distinct four-layered hierarchical nature reserve management system at the county level.FindingsThe findings show that higher administrative level (i.e. national and provincial) nature reserves have no effects on the carbon dynamic. However, reserves managed by lower administrative levels (i.e. prefecture- and county-level) are associated with reduced carbon sequestration. The results imply local governments fail to fulfil their responsibilities for nature reserves protection, leading to increased extractive activities and declined ecological biomass. Research limitations/implicationsResponsibility and accountability mechanisms for the violation of the nature reserves requirements need to be stipulated accordingly. Greater emphasis should be placed on nature reserves at the base level. The central government should continue efforts toward the establishment of ad hoc and independent management agencies at the ground-management level that are free of influence from base-level governments.Originality/valueThe heterogeneity in the performance of nature reserves across administrative levels confirms that ecosystem service quality is highly dependent on establishment, management and supervision. This provides a better understanding of the socio-ecological interdependence of protected areas.

“…The role of forests in the context of climate change mitigation is widely discussed, highlighting the importance of these ecosystems. Forests store large amounts of carbon (C) in various ecosystem compartments, both in soil and in plant biomass, accumulating carbon dioxide through continuous C sequestration (Nave et al 2010;Kowalska et al 2020). The continuing functioning of forest ecosystems ensures natural absorbing of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (Pregitzer and Euskirchen 2004;Pan et al 2011).…”

consequently decreased with stand age. Higher SOC levels were in the mature stand. In the mineral topsoil layers, total SOC and total nitrogen were in the upper 10-cm layer in the 30-year-old stand. A post-harvest peak in mineral N concentration was observed and other nutrients, especially mobile P 2 O 5 , K 2 O, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , increased the clear-cuttings and in the 10-year-old stand compared to the mature stand. KeywordsPinus sylvestris • Species cover • Richness • Soil organic carbon • Soil nutrients • Mature stand Project funding The project was funded by Ph.D. project "Peculiarities of reforestation in clear cuttings of Scots pine stands on nutrient poor sites" (2017-2023), implemented by the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry.
