Response of the chemical structure of soil organic carbon to modes of maize straw return
Abstract Elucidating the chemical structure of soil organic matter (SOM) is important for accurately evaluating the stability and function of SOM. Aboveground vegetation directly affects the quantity and quality of exogenous organic matter input into the soil through plant residues and root exudates...

The contents of alkyl C and alkoxy C in the functional groups of SOC under various straw returning treatments were increased compared with those under the treatment of maize stubble remaining in soil (CK). Furthermore, the contents of aromatic C and carboxyl C were decreased, which were consistent with the chemical shift changes of SOC. Compared with CK treatment, straw returning decreased the content of aromatic C in the functional groups of SOC, but increased the content of alkoxy C, which could be associated with the change in integral areas of absorption peaks of alkyl C and alkoxy C moving toward left and right, respectively. The content of total SOC was significantly positively (P < 0.05) correlated with that of alkoxy C and significantly negatively (P < 0.01) correlated with that of aromatic C. The molecular structure of SOC tends to be simplified due to the decreasing in refractory C and the increasing in easily decomposed C after straw returning to the field.Shuqing ZhengJiuming ZhangFengqin ChiBaoku ZhouDan WeiEnjun KuangYu JiangGang MiYu ping ChenNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-7 (2021) |
