This study therefore aimed to evaluate the effects of fi ve nitri fi cation inhibitors on the status of soil inorganic N, urea hydrolysis, and nitri fi cation: i) no inhibitor (control); ii) nitrapyrin; and three rates of neem leaf extract based on the dry weight of the raw material: iii) 1 g kg –1 soil; iv) 2 g kg –1 soil; v) 4 g kg –1 soil. Neem leaf extract in all rates increased urea hydrolysis rate on days 5 − 15. In contrast, nitrapyrin decreased urea hydrolysis on days 5 − 10, compared to the control. As for nitri fi cation, neem leaf extract showed both stimulatory and inhibitory effects. The stimulation ap-peared on day 3, whereas inhibition occurred and peaked on days 5 − 15. Nitrapyrin showed inhibitory effects on days 10 − 15, reaching its peak on day 15. Increasing rates of neem leaf extract brought about increases in stimulation and inhibition of urea hydrolysis and nitri fi cation. The results conclusively stated that the neem leaf extract had generally faster, stronger, and longer nitri fi cation inhibition than nitrapyrin. The stimulation in the early phase and the inhibition in the later phase of the incubation of neem leaf extract were more pronounced with higher application rates.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84045396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the paper presents the vegetation accompanying the studied soils. The detailed characteristics will include the stand and the undergrowth. 10 study plots representing mountain areas were included in the study. Study plots were located in the mountains in the Bielsko, Ustro ń , Szklarska Por ę ba, W ę gierska Górka forest districts as well as the Bieszczadzki, Babiogórski and Tatrza ń ski National Parks. At each sample plot a detailed description of soil pro fi le has been carried out, samples were collected from each genetic horizon in order to perform the basic determinations of the soil properties. On each research plot, a phytosociological relevé using the Braun-Blanquet method and a taxonomic description of the tree stand were performed. The diagnosis of forest site type was determined according to forest management principles and the Trophic Soil Index was calculated. The properties of mountain alluvial soils are related to the properties of the rock complexes within which alluvial terraces are formed. Mountain alluvial soils belong to various groups (Fluvisols, Leptosols, Cambisols, Phaeozems), which depend on the valley location and anthropogenic factors. River regulation and the disappearance of fl oods result in the formation of soils with a cambic horizon and acidi fi cation of the surface horizons devoid of the in fl uence of water. Two main plant communities are associated with mountain alluvial soils: Alnetum incanae and Carici remotae-Fraxinetum . Ecosystems related to mountain alluvial soils are very valuable due to their high biodiversity and ful fi lling various ecosystem functions.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"84 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89328413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven soil pro fi les distributed, along the stream, were described, sam-pled, and analyzed using standard procedures. The parent materials of the soils showed strati fi cation and were characterized by a sandy texture with considerable admixtures of gravel in some horizons. A textural measures indicated their accumulation in a highly dynamic fl uvial environment. The soils showed broad spatial heterogeneity, highlighting the importance of local-scale factors in their formation. The accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM) and gleying from groundwater were identi fi ed as major soil-forming processes, which was re fl ected in soil reference groups dis-tinguished – Eutric Gleyic Fluvisols, Fluvic Gleyic Mollic Umbrisols, Fluvic Gleyic Phaeozems, and Fluvic Phaeozems. The soils were characterized by deep A horizons and high SOM contents. The strati fi cation of these horizons can indicate the partially allochthonous origin of this component, with the headwater bogs in the upper and middle courses of the stream potentially its source. Additionally, the soils were rich in nitrogen, but poor in total P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al. The generally low contribution of free Fe oxides to the soils indicated poorly advanced weathering, whereas the predominance of amorphous forms of Fe over crystalline could be the effect of high moisture and the SOM content. The soils were also characterized by a low cation exchange capacity, that varied depending on the SOM and clay contents. The soils were generally acidic, with pH values fl uctuating around 5.0–7.0, in most cases, although the predominance of acidic over basic ions was not appar-ent in the sorption complex.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83239261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, alluvial soils play crucial role for functioning of many protected natural and semi-natural ecosystems in river valleys.

The highest values of microbial biomass in soils were indicated for sites with vegetation cover while the lowest values in soils without vegetation, which correlate with the content of total organic carbon and the C:N ratio. The highest percentage of biomass carbon compared to the total organic biomass carbon is obtained for two sites with mosses, and the lowest in sites without vegetation, followed by the sites with lichens. Cellulase activity is highest in polar soils with moss cover. Amylase activity depends more strongly on the type of vegetation. The highest amylase activity is detected in soils under algae cover and the lowest in soils without vegetation. Invertase activity is limited by the extreme soil and climatic conditions of Antarctica. A very strong, positive correlation is found between total carbon and total nitrogen. The relationship between total carbon and the C:N ratio, as well as between biomass carbon and amylase activity, is moderate, and positive. The higher dependence of amylase activity from organic carbon with microbial origin correlates with higher values of the enzyme amylase compared to the enzyme cellulase. There is a strong (cellulase) and very strong (amylase) positive relationship between the activity of enzymes and the combination of factors: total carbon, total nitrogen, C: N ratio and biomass carbon.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85462986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
