Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, contribution ratios of a cattle manure compost application to soil organic nitrogen accumulation was quantified in three-year field experiment at different 3 soils with 15N methodologies, and changes in amino acid composition and molecular weight distribution of sequential extracts of soils with compost were investigated to illuminate the role of basic amino acids in the soil organic matter accumulation process. Our results showed that nitrogen proportions among extracts of these soils became constant in a year. High-molecular weight organic matter of compost, which had high contents of basic amino acids similar to that of microbial remains, were deposited with Al-hydroxide or clay minerals at the first. On the other hand, low-molecular weight organic matter containing much acidic and neutral amino acids was labile. The proportion of basic amino acids of soil extracts is useful as a contribution index of microbial remains in soil organic matters.
