Effects of Long-term Straw Returning to Field on Soil Organic Car-bon and Structural Characteristics of Humic Acid
In response to the aging of organic matter in black soil and the urgent need for fertiliza-tion and problem solving of straw burning,the changes of soil organic carbon(SOC),humus compo-nent content and humic acid(HA)structure characteristics were studied by means of long-term,small amount,and continuous straw returning experiments.The results showed that compared with ck,the organic carbon content increased by 18.9%,20.0%and 13.1%,14.7%,respectively,under the treatments of straw returning combined with chemical fertilizer and straw returning in surface and subsurface soil;Carbon content of HA increased by 17.5%,57.4%and 10.7%,28.1%,respectively;Carbon content of humin(Hu)increased by 23.1%,23.0%and 20.7%,16.2%,respectively.The in-crease of HA carbon in subsurface soil treated with straw returning and chemical fertilizer accounted for 75.3%of the increase in SOC.The proportion of HA in extractable humus(PQ)increased from 58.2%to 63.6%.Compared with ck,the structural characteristics of HA treated with straw combined with chemical fertilizer were significantly changed,and the ratio of surface layer and subsurface layer(O+S)/C was reduced by 15.8%and 17.7%,respectively.The H/C ratio increased by 4.8%and 5.3%,respectively.I2920/I1720 increased by 110.5%and 131.2%,respectively.The high/medium calo-rific ratio decreased by 35.3%and 28.9%,respectively.The high/medium weight loss decreased by 14.1%and 12.0%,respectively.The combination of straw and fertilizer treatment reduces oxidation degree,condensation degree,and thermal stability of HA structure,enhances its lipophilicity,and simplifies the structure.
