How does soil water status influence the fate of soil organic matter? A review of processes across scales

2022, Agriculture, Ecosystems and EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Intrinsic, or environmental, factors include soil and weather. Environmental conditions have a strong influence on residue decomposition, with rates accelerating proportionately with increasing moisture and temperature (Quemada and Cabrera, 1997; Stott et al., 1986; Thapa et al., 2021a). The moisture and temperature of surface CC residue layers in no-till systems are greatly under the influence of weather variables such as the amount and distribution of rainfall, relative humidity of the air (RH), solar radiation, and air temperature (Manstretta and Rossi, 2015; Thapa et al., 2021b).
Cover crop residue moisture content controls diurnal variations in surface residue decomposition
2021, Agricultural and Forest MeteorologyImproved straw management practices promote in situ straw decomposition and nutrient release, and increase crop production
2020, Journal of Cleaner ProductionCitation Excerpt :Relatively higher decomposition rate of wheat straw in the maize growing season, and lower decomposition rate of maize straw in the winter-wheat growing season likely resulted from the different meteorological conditions (Mo et al., 2007), soil temperatures and soil water contents in the two growing seasons (Yadvinder-Singh et al., 2004; Zhou et al., 2008). Generally, decomposition rates decrease as water availability and temperature decrease (Stott et al., 1986). The summer maize-growing season on the NCP is characterized by higher air temperatures (Average 25 °C) and frequent precipitation (Total 326.9 and 356.2 mm in 2013 and 2014, respectively) than in the winter-wheat-growing season (Average temperature 8 °C and 182 and 145 mm of precipitation in 2013 and 2014, respectively).
Nutrient availability, soil respiration and microbial biomass after the second residue addition are influenced by the C/N ratio of the first residue added, but not by drying and rewetting between residue amendments
2016, European Journal of Soil BiologyCitation Excerpt :Sørensen [9] reported that the longer organic material was incubated in soil, the lower its mineralisation during DRW cycles. Nutrient release from plant residues is a complex process influenced by internal factors such as residue C composition, nutrient ratios (e.g. C/N), and external factors, e.g. temperature and soil water content [10]. It is well-known that decomposition and N mineralisation rate are negatively correlated with the residue C/N ratio [11].
