The effects of continuous straw returning strategies on SOC balance upon fresh straw incorporation

Continuous straw returning is widely encouraged for augmenting soil organic carbon (SOC) in arable lands. However, the magnitude of changes in net SOC related to native SOC mineralization and new SOC development upon fresh straw incorporation remains elusive, particularly in soils after continuous straw returning with different strategies. To address this, soil that had undergone nine years of straw returning with different strategies (NS, non-straw returning; DS, direct straw returning; IS, indirect straw returning) was incubated with fresh 13 C-labeled straw for 45 days. Fresh straw incorporation stimulated native SOC-derived CO 2 emission in DS soil, which in turn promoted straw-derived CO 2 emission in IS soil. Overall, the amounts of newly developed SOC from straw (2.41–2.59 g C/kg soil) overcompensated for the native SOC losses (0.91–1.37 g C/kg soil) by mineralization, and led to net C sequestration in all treatments. No obvious difference was found in the amounts of SOC sequestrated from straw between the DS and NS soils, while the amount of native SOC mineralization increased by 40–50% in the DS soil relative to other treatments, thus resulting in lower net C sequestration in the DS soil (1.21 g C/kg soil) than IS and NS soil (1.43 and 1.65 g C/kg for IS and NS soil, respectively). Spearman's correlation analyses indicated a significant ( p < 0.01 ) and positive correlation between SOC contents and native soil C mineralization, while the soil microbial index played a greater role in influencing fresh straw sequestration ( p < 0.01 ). In conclusion, the DS soil showed a weaker effect on SOC sequestration than IS after 9 years of practices, upon fresh straw incorporation. This difference may be attributed to the magnitude of native SOC mineralization in the soil. Besides the straw-C input rate, results emphasize that native soil C protection should be also considered in long-term SOC sequestration practices.
