Abstract:
      A field experiment was conducted to study the dynamics of soil labile organic carbon in 0~60 cm soil layer at the growth stage of maize. Five treatments, including no fertilizer(CK), chemical fertilizer only(NPK) and three application rates of organic-inorganic compound fertilizers made from ash and pig manure(high-CF1, medium-CF2 and low-CF3) were used. Compared to the control, applying organic-inorganic compound fertilizer significantly increased the contents of total organic carbon(TOC) and labile organic carbon in 0~60 cm soil layer(P<0.05), with the most significant effects found in CF2 treatment. The effects of fertilizers on soil labile organic carbons decreased gradually with soil depth. Significant correlations were observed among TOC, easily oxidizable organic carbon(ROC), dissolved organic carbon(DOC) and water-soluble organic carbon(WSOC). ROC and DOC were more sensitive to organic-inorganic compound fertilizers than other organic carbons, which could forecast dynamic of TOC. However, more research is needed to better understand the long term impacts of such organic-inorganic compound fertilizers on soil organic carbon pools.
