“…Đekemati et al, 2019). During the Autumn, interaction results indicate significantly higher PR at MT in adition to RT treatment on straw plots as is reported in Arvidsson et al (2013) and Bogunovic et al (2020b). Meanwhile, during the Autumn, straw significantly decrease PR in addition to bare plots at all treatments indicating conservation possibilities of the straw on SWC (will be discussed below) as is noted in other studies.…”

Soil tillage management can have positive and negative short-term effect on agroecosystem. Therefore, searching for optimal tillage management is crucial for the maintenance and improvement of soil functions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of conventional tillage (CT), minimum tillage (MT) and reduced tillage (RT) on Fluvisols in humid environments (Croatia). Under each treatment, subplots with and without straw were applied. The impact was assessed on physical soil properties and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yield. Soil bulk density was significantly lower in RT with straw when compared to the other treatments. Straw significantly effected bulk density at 10-20 cm depth.Penetration resistance did not exceed the value of 2.5 MPa on any treatment, it was also significantly reduced on covered plots in Autumn. Soil water content showed higher values in straw treatments at MT and RT. Water stable aggregates percentage were high at straw plots and at MT and RT in addition to CT. Moreover, soybean grain yield was higher in straw plots at RT and MT. It can be recognized in the aspect of short-term results that the MT and RT is an advisable alternative for CT due to its positive impact on soil physical condition and grain yield.

“…Therefore, more sustainable management of VINE and CROP land uses needed to increase soil function capacity. Decreased tractor traffic, reduced or no-tillage management, a transition to organic production, wide crop rotation, and organic fertilization in these plots would be beneficial for soil quality [8,31,90]. The implementation of crop diversification practices would be relevant to reverse soil degradation process.…”

Agricultural and Forest Land-Use Impact on Soil Properties in Zagreb Periurban Area (Croatia)

In urban areas, land use usually increases soil degradation. However, there are areas occupied by agriculture and woodlands with an essential role in provisioning food and other services such as water and climate regulation. The objective of this work was to assess the effect of long-term land use and soil management practices on peri-urban soils in Zagreb (Croatia). Samples were collected at depth 0–10 cm within intensively tilled cropland (CROP) and vineyard (VINE), traditional grass-covered orchard (ORCH), and forest (FOR). The results showed that bulk density was significantly higher in VINE and CROP than in ORCH and FOR. The opposite dynamic was observed in water-holding capacity, air-filled porosity, aggregate stability, organic matter, and soil organic matter stocks (SOCS). Soil water infiltration was higher in FOR plot compared to the other plots. Overall, land-use change had a substantial impact on soil properties and SOCS, especially in CROP and VINE soils. Tillage, pesticides, and fertilizer applications were presumably the reasons for altered soil quality properties. Intensively used areas (VINE and CROPS) may reduce soil ecosystems services such as the capacity for flood retention and C sequestration.

“…SOC as well as water content and water stable aggregates were higher under spading machine compared with those under rotary tillage and chisel plough. In the study of Bogunovic et al (2020), soil bulk density and PR were the lowest under reduced tillage compared with conventional tillage and minimum tillage, while minimum tillage created a loose topsoil and dense subsoil.…”

“…Several studies (e.g. Asadi et al 2012;Mukherjee and Lal 2015;Bogunovic et al 2020) analysed adjacent elds/plots to compare tillage types, land uses, or managements. The main problem with such comparative studies is the assumption of initial uniformity in space of the soil attribute in adjacent areas, disregarding possible differences among the spatial variability structure of each soil attribute.…”

The assessment of soil attributes affected by land use changes or different cultivation management strategies is commonly based on a comparison between agricultural fields, neglecting the natural soil spatial variability. This study aimed to develop a methodology based on improved space series to differentiate between spatial variability of soil attributes and the effect of tillage direction when the evaluation is based on comparison between adjacent fields. The study area consists of two adjacent fields of different tillage directions, i.e. up-down tillage (UDT) and contour tillage (COT). Soil sampling was performed at 40 points in each filed at 5 m intervals along a contour line at the mid-slope position. All measured soil attributes, i.e. sand, silt, clay, MWD, GMD, bulk density; SP, CCE, OM, of UDT were significantly (P<0.05) different from those of COT compared by independent sample T test. This analysis could not differentiate between the spatial variability of the soil and the changes induced by tillage. To determine the net effect of UDT on soil attributes, we (i) performed space series analysis on COT data, (ii) used autoregressive, moving average and autoregressive-moving average models to model the space series data on COT field, and (iii) used the best model obtained for each soil attributes on COT to forecast the value of the property in ten adjacent points in the UDT field. Comparison between the forecasted and measured data in UDT showed that the evaluation of tillage direction effect on soil attributes based on comparison between adjacent fields can be over or under estimated when the sampling coordinates and the spatial correlation among adjacent observations of data are ignored. The methodology used was able to differentiate between natural and management induced differences of soil attributes. Overall, the use of this methodology will improve the prediction and understanding of the effects of different cultivation practices on soil quality.
