The Forms of Aluminium in Stagnosols in Serbia The forms of aluminium in Stagnosols in Serbia V. Mrvić1, M. Jakovljević2, D. Stevanović2, D. Čakmak1 1Institute of Soil Science, Belgrade, Serbia 2Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT The interactive relations of Al forms and the most important characteristics of Stagnosols were researched to dia- gnose which factors are the best to control the content of phytotoxic Al forms. The values of exchangeable Al (AlKCl) range from 0.0 to 560.7 mg/kg and increase with depth. The variation of exchangeable Al is high and it depends on the changes of all forms of soil acidity and the degree of base cation saturation. Their relation is best described by a non-linear function. The contents of total Al and Al extracted by ammonium oxalate in dark (Al amorphous, Aloxa) increase with depth, together with the increase of the content of clay particles. The values of Al extracted by sodium citrate/dithionite (Al crystalline, Aldit), 0.5M CuCl2 (AlCu) and 0.25M EDTA (AlEDTA) are in good correlati- on and they predominantly depend on the parameters of soil acidity. The value of AlCu-AlKCl (in eluvial horizons) is best represented by organically bound Al. Effects of the reserves of aluminium Aldit, AlCu and AlEDTA on the changes of exchangeable Al are higher (medium and high correlation), while the effects of the total Al and Aloxa are lower.

Although most Croatian Pseudogleys are found on agricultural land or in agro- ecosystems, they usually have numerous constraints for agricultural production. Primarily, this is due to their unfavorable water/air regime (precipitation water periodically stagnates on/in the poorly permeable subsoil horizon). Th e aim of this study was to determine which signifi cant diff erences in physical properties and humus content exist between the eluvial horizon (Eg) and the illuvial horizon (Btg) in Croatian Pseudogleys. Total of 33 Pseudogley profi les were investigated at 11 forest sites across the Pannonian region of Croatia. Properties of Eg horizon signifi cantly diff ered from the properties of Btg horizon. Compared with the Eg horizon, the Btg horizon had more clay, higher bulk density, less pores, and lower capacity for air. However, the stability of microaggregates was higher in the Btg horizon than in the Eg horizon. Contents of clay and humus have the key impact on most soil physical properties. Th ese results should be borne in mind, both when converting natural Pseudogleys into arable soils and when ameliorating arable Pseudogleys that contain the Eg horizon below the Ap horizon.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to find out how land use affects the soil microbial attributes in different soil types and to which depth. The study was performed in Slovakia (Europe) in three areas differing in soil type (Cherno- zem, Stagnosol, Cambisol). Within each area, three localities with different land use (forest, grassland, cropland), repre- senting a gradient with different intensity of management, were chosen. The soil samples were taken along a single soil profile up to a depth of 1 m with 10 cm increments at each locality. In the soil samples, the basic soil chemical properties and microbial attributes were determined. The effect of the land use on the microbial biomass and basal respiration was mainly observed in the Chernozem in the top 30 cm, while in the Stagnosol, no difference in the trend in the microbial biomass between the different ecosystems along the soil profile was found.

In our study, we determined the soil hydrologic properties and pore size distribution at three forest stands and one pasture as reference on soils with stagnant water conditions. All sites are located in the Wermsdorf Forest, where historical studies have demonstrated severe silvicultural problems associated with stagnant water in the soil. The studied stands represent different stages of forest management with a young 25-year-old oak (Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) and Red oak (Q. robur)) plantation, a 170-year-old oak stand and a 95-year-old Norway Spruce (Picea abies) stand in second rotation. We determined the infiltration rates under saturated and near-saturated conditions with a hood-infiltrometer at the topsoil as well as the saturated hydraulic conductivity and water retention characteristic from undisturbed soil samples taken from the surface and 30 cm depth.

Thenkabail Received: 28 October 2016; Accepted: 28 December 2016; Published: 1 January 2017 Abstract: The assessment of the soil redistribution and real long-term soil degradation due to erosion on agriculture land is still insufficient in spite of being essential for soil conservation policy. Imaging spectroscopy has been recognized as a suitable tool for soil erosion assessment in recent years. In our study, we bring an approach for assessment of soil degradation by erosion by means of determining soil erosion classes representing soils differently influenced by erosion impact. The adopted methods include extensive field sampling, laboratory analysis, predictive modelling of selected soil surface properties using aerial hyperspectral data and the digital elevation model and fuzzy classification. Different multivariate regression techniques (Partial Least Square, Support Vector Machine, Random forest and Artificial neural network) were applied in the predictive modelling of soil properties. The properties with satisfying performance (R2 > 0.5) were used as input data in erosion classes determination by fuzzy C-means classification method.

    Original Paper Soil & Water Res., 13, 2018 (1): 36–43 doi: 10.17221/25/2017-SWR Effects of Soil Erosion by Water under Different Tillage Treatments on Distribution of Soil Chemical Parameters Ivica KISIC, Igor BOGUNOVIC*, Zeljka ZGORELEC and Darija BILANDZIJA Department of General Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Kisic I., Bogunovic I., Zgorelec Z., Bilandzija D. (2018): Effects of soil erosion by water under different tillage treat- ments on distribution of soil chemical parameters. Soil & Water Res., 13: 36−43. Soil losses by water erosion were studied under six different tillage treatments, which differ in depth and direction of tillage and planting during a twenty-year period (1995–2014) on Stagnosols in central lowland Croatia. Studied tillage treatments were: control plot (bare fallow-BF), ploughing up and down the slope to 30 cm (PUDS), no- tillage (NT), ploughing across the slope to 30 cm (PAS), very deep ploughing across the slope to 50 cm (VDPAS), and subsoiling to 50 cm + ploughing to 30 cm across the slope (SSPAS). The paper presents the following chemi- cal parameters: soil pH, soil organic matter (OM), plant available phosphorus (P-P2O5), plant available potassium (K-K2O), total carbon content (Ctot), total nitrogen content (Ntot) and CN ratio of non-eroded soil and soil loss from studied treatments. All soil sediments had significantly higher content of the studied parameters compared to non-eroded soil. The overall respective levels of OM, Ctot, Ntot, P-P2O5 and K-K2O loss by eroded soil were as follows: 0.86 (NT) − 10.86 (BF) t/ha, 0.10 (SSPAS) – 2.60 (BF) t/ha, 0.015 (SSPAS) – 0.392 (BF) t/ha, 0.012 (NT) − 0.173 (BF) t/ha and 0.017 (SSPAS) − 0.158 (BF) t/ha.
