Untersuchungen über organisch gebundenen Kohlenstoff in landwirtschaftlich genutzten Böden. Der Einfluß der Stickstoffdüngung auf den Kohlenstoffgehalt im Boden unter Berücksichtigung der Nährstoffaufnahme des Winterweizens

The Turnover of Plant Roots during the Growth Period and its Influence on “Soll Respiration” Mustard and wheat plants were grown under 14CO2, their roots being tightly separated from the shoot sphere. Root formation, root respiration, and root decomposition could thus be followed during the plant development by radiometric methods. The total quantity of organic root matter in soil at harvest time turned out to be 20–50% larger than the amount of root residues as determined by ordinary washing procedures. Depending on the plant and duration of the experiment, an additional amount of up to three times more than this remaining root carbon was already mineralized during the vegetation period. Only one fifth of this 14CO2‐production could be attributed to the respiration of living root tissue, all the remainder seemed to be due to the microbial decomposition of dead roots, root residues and root excretions. Root respiration and root decomposition together produced almost four fifths of the total evolving CO2‐quantity, whilst the contribution from soil organic matter breakdown did not exceed one fourth of it. According to these data, the total rhizo‐deposition amounts to 3–4 times as much organic substance than what can be found as root residues at harvest time. This rich supply of readily decomposable organic matter leads to a most intensive turnover in the rhizosphere, which should be of considerable influence on the dynamic processes in soil.
