Abstract

Enhancing soil carbon sequestration potential is one of the most important strategies to contribute to climate change mitigation. However, basic characteristics of soil organic matter (SOM) distribution and its decomposition rate in soils where fruits and vegetables are cultivated have rarely been investigated though this information is necessary for a better understanding of carbon sequestration. In this study, soil samples were collected from plastic film house fields cultivated for various fruits and vegetables including cucumber, Korean melon, pepper, and pumpkin. Soil chemical properties including characteristics of SOM distribution by chemical oxidizable organic fractions, and their decomposition rates by estimating soil respiration rate (Q10 value) via soil incubation were evaluated. Total carbon content in pepper soil showed highest (28.7 g kg-1) and followed by pumpkin (23.9 g kg-1), cucumber (17.6 g kg-1), and Korean melon (11.8 g kg-1). Highest Q10 value was observed in pepper cultivated soils (1.65) that could be comparatively sensitive for SOM degradation, and then followed by cucumber (1.42), pumpkin (1.36), and Korean melon (0.82). Labile carbon as easily available form was highest in pepper cultivated soils (20.7 g kg-1), and followed by pumpkin (18.0 g kg-1), cucumber (14.6 g kg-1), and Korean melon (9.9 g kg-1), showing significantly positive correlations with soil total and labile carbons. Our results provided useful information on SOM distribution and decomposition, which is necessary to manage and thus to further enhance carbon sequestration in soils.

Potential respiration rates and Q10 values were evaluated for a better understanding of soil carbon dynamics in soils cultivated with different fruits and vegetables, providing essential information on soil organic matter distribution and its decomposition.
