How Lime Dust Does Affect Carbon Mineralization of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Soil?
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Eucalyptus camaldulensis is a well adapted perennial plant to changes in the environmental conditions. The objective of this reseach was to exhibit how soil carbon mineralizaton of Eucalyptus growing into lime factory garden are affected by the additions of its unwashed and washed leaf and shoot (containing half of total soil organic carbon) from lime dust under the same laboratory conditions (45 days and 28 °C). Leaf, shoot and soil of Eucalyptus were sampled from two different sites with (lime factory garden) and without (campus of Osmaniye Korkut Ata University) lime dust in Osmaniye. Carbon mineralization of soils was determined with CO2 respiration method. The high cumulative C(CO2) values was observed in soil added unwashed Eucayptus leaf and shoot of the lime factory while the lowest value was at soil no added of lime factory. This finding showed that lime added with unwashed leaf and shoot of Eucalyptus improved and favorable conditions for microbial activity into 45 days. Carbon mineralization ratio (%) of no added campus soil was the highest than both no added lime factory soil (P = 0.003) and the other additions (P = 0.000 for all of them). It might be explained with stifling effect of added carbon amount of organic matter originating from Eucalyptus leaf and shoot on soil microorganisms. Keywords: carbon, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, lime dust, lime factory, mineralization.
