Bioindicators of soil quality of open shrubland and vineyards

Abstract: Land-use effects on microbial communities may have profound impacts on agricultural productivity and ecosystem sustainability because they are critical to soil quality and health. Within this context, soil microbiological properties such as microorganism abundance, total microbial biomass,...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of agricultural practices in the vineyards from the Central Monte Desert, San Juan, Argentina including the effects on soil microbial biomass using soils from the open shrubland as a reference. The microbial biomass carbon was significantly greater in soils from the open shrubland than in the vineyards during April and November. The abundance of cultivable soil microorganisms (bacteria and filamentous fungi) in soil samples from vineyards and open shrubland was statistically similar. Vineyard soils showed increased enzymatic activities (both in rows and between rows) in both seasons.
