摘要
Management systems influence soil quality over time. A randomized block design in 2 (tillage system) x 3 (crop rotation) factorial arrangement was laid-out to evaluate the impact of tillage and crop rotation (2002-2007) on soil quality. Conventional tillage and No-till were factored into continuous corn, corn-soybean, and corn-soybean-wheat-Cowpea systems. Ten soil cores were collected at 0-7.5, 7.5-15, 15-22.5 and 22.5-30 cm depths and analyzed for biological, chemical and physical parameters. The inductive additive approach was used to calculate biological, chemical, physical and composite soil quality indices. A significant impact of no tillage on different physical chemical and biological parameters was observed. The estimated soil quality index was significantly higher in soil under No-till than conventional tillage. Soil biological quality is a sensitive and consistent indicator of soil quality in response to management practices. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
