Investigation on C/N ratio in agricultural soils contributes environmental protection. Due to the different land use (arable land and pastures) this ratio can be changed. Arable land use compared with pasture land can affect decreasing of organic matter (OM) content in soil due to different reasons: soil tillage (different intensity, duration and frequency), horizons converting, fertilization, crop rotation and in general in different land management. The soil organic carbon is a universal soil quality indicator, which is also critical to monitor the major global environmental conventions on climate change, biodiversity and desertification. Project methodology includes sampling and analyses of same soil type in different land use – arable land and pastures - in 5 different locations in 2 different countries. Climate and geomorphologic properties on each location will define differences in soil properties. After determination of standard soil physical and chemical parameters in each horizon, soil parameters will be compared due to different land use (arable land and pastures), different agro-ecological conditions (Pannonia plane and Mediterranean karsts, Balaton highlands – stone soils, and chernozem and alkalic soils at trans Tisza region) and different pedogenetic processes in soil. Defining changes in nitrogen and carbon content and C/N ratio in the same soil type under different conditions will contribute to better understanding of changes in agrosphere. Obtained data will provide evaluation of influence of agriculture on climate change and other changes in the environment, and help to establish recommendations for agricultural land and soil use. The project will help to re-establish research infrastructure (field, laboratory). It will provide dialogue and collaboration among researchers and institutions between Croatian and Hungarian scientists and link it to these activities with the European Research Area. Measurable outputs will also include the improvement of laboratory and computer equipment (GIS applications).
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner
1.) Literature collection and studying each partner for domestic country - FAZ, SIU 2.) Visiting chosen location, field scanning – SUI and FAZ together in Croatian locations and FAZ and SUI in Hungarian locations 3.) Field work, profile digging, taking composite samples - SUI and FAZ together in Croatian locations and FAZ and SUI in Hungarian locations 4.) Sample preparations for physical and chemical analysis and laboratory analysis 5.) Meetings, data analysis, publishing results - all – FAZ, SIU
