Effects of land use on soil respiration from Irish agriculture: conversion of grass to arable lands and soil tillage M. Abdalla, S. Kumar, M. Jones and M. Williams Paper Changes in land use and soil management can substantially alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and affect exchanges of CO2 between soil and the atmosphere. Soil respiration (CO2) from a cut and grazed pasture and an arable field in the Irish midlands was investigated. The arable field was converted from a grassland approximately 50 years ago and managed since 2003 under two different tillage systems; conventional and reduced tillage. Soil respiration measurements were carried out from January 2003 to August 2005. Both fields were located on the same soil type, classified as free draining sandy loam soil derived from fluvial glacial gravels with low soil moisture holding capacity. The aims of the study were to investigate seasonal changes in the CO2 fluxes from soils due to land use changes and management, quantify annual CO2 fluxes and evaluate the responses to key driving variables. The average annual flux of CO2 from the grazed pasture was 11.5 t CO2-C ha-1 whilst that from the arable field, conventional and reduced tillage, was 12.2 t CO2 ¿C ha-1. Results show that changes in land use have statistically significant effects (p<0.05) on soil respiration but no significant effects (p>0.05) due to the short-term application of reduced tillage were observed. LAI was an important driving factor for soil respiration with regression r2 = 0.35. Soil temperature exhibit significant exponential relationship with soil respiration (r2 = 0.42, r2 = 0.60 and r2 = 0.45) for the grass and arable conventional and reduced tillage respectively. Significantly negative relationships between soil moisture and soil temperature were found in both fields (r2 = -0.43, r2 = -0.47 and r2 = -0.52) suggesting that soil moisture may have modified soil temperature pattern and affected soil respiration indirectly. |
