摘要
Humic fractions, arginine ammonification and soil respiration were monitored in spring, summer and autumn 1999 in natural pasture soil and in no-tillage or reduced-tillage soil under maize. The Typic Argiudoll soils, typical of the Argentine rolling pampa, can be structurally unstable, particularly when conventionally tilled, a form of soil management affecting the humification process. The no-tillage soil had a lower content of fulvic acids than the reduced-tillage soil in spring and summer, probably because the humification process was favored by residue management in no-tillage soil, with a significant increase in the most stable fraction. Both arginine ammonification and CO2 were significantly correlated with the humic acids and humin contents. No significant correlation was found with fulvic acids,probably due to the lability and high variability of this fraction. A high correlation was found between arginine ammonification and CO2. The highest index values were generally observed in natural pasture soil, whereas no-tillage soils showed a higher index value than reduced-tillage soils throughout, confirming the hypothesis that humification is more intense in the presence of organic residues.
