Abstract/Contents: | "The goal of this research was to study the impact of cut plant residues, returned to or removed from the grassland sward, on the dry-matter yield of swards and on the organic carbon (Corg) concentration of soil. The experiment was carried out during 2004-2008. The variables of the experiment were (i) sward type: turfgrass sward (Festuca rubra rubra and Poa pratensis) and grass-clover sward (Phleum pratense, Lolium perenne, and Trifolium repens) and (ii) treatment of residues: the cut plant residues were returned (RRT) to the plots or removed (RRM) from the plots after the mowing. The fertilizer treatments were as follows: N0P0K0, N80P11K48, N160P22K96, and N400P56K240 kg ha-1 for the turfgrass sward and N0P0K0 and N80P26K50 kg ha-1 for the grass-clover sward. The Corg and Ntot concentrations in the 20-cm soil layer were measured at the beginning and at the end of the experiment at depths of 0-5 cm and 5-20 cm. Nitrogen was returned as plant residues to the grass-clover sward in treatment N0P0K0 at 190 kg ha-1 and N80P26K50 at 204 kg ha-1 and consequently the returned cut plant residues increased the yield by 31% and 22%, respectively. The amount of N returned as residues to turfgrass sward was 31-236 kg ha-1 but it had no significant influence on the sward dry-matter yield. During the 5 years of the experiment the Corg content in 0- to 5-cm soil layer of grass-clover sward in treatment RRT increased by 42.9% and in RRM by 32.0% as an average of both fertilization treatments. At the depth 5-20 cm the Corg concentration did not change in treatment RRT, but in treatment RRM with fertilization the Corg concentration decreased by 8.2%. In turfgrass soil the Corg concentration increased in RRT treatment by 21.6% and in treatment RRM by 7.2% during 5 years. In the lower soil layer the concentration of Corg decreased with removal and return of plant residues. The fertilization did not influence the changes of Corg concentration in turfgrass swards soil." |
