- W1969132962 abstract "In recent decades, perennial rhizomatous grasses have been introduced in the Po Valley (Northern Italy), not only to produce bioenergy, but also to face the loss of soil organic carbon due to intensive crop management. Given the dual purpose of perennial energy crops, this work was intended to evaluate changes induced by the introduction of these crops on soil microbial community structure and on soil functionality. We compared a 9 year-old land conversion to two perennial energy crops, giant Miscanthus (Miscanthus sinensis × giganteus) and giant reed (Arundo donax L.), with two 40-year old annual arable systems, continuous wheat and maize/wheat rotation. The structure of the bacterial community was studied by the fingerprinting method of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) amplifying 16S rRNA fragments, while the functional aspects of soil were investigated through the determination of three soil enzyme activities involved in soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous cycles (β-glucosidase, urease, and alkaline phosphatase, respectively). Introduction of perennial energy crops positively stimulated the three soil enzymes, especially in the shallow soil layer (0–0.15 m), where accumulation of carbon and nitrogen was stronger. Enzyme activities were also positively correlated with organic carbon, apart from β-glucosidase. A significant but weaker correlation was also observed between enzyme activities and total nitrogen. The DGGE profiles revealed the relationship between crop types and soil microbial communities. Community richness was higher in perennial than in annual crops, but no effect of soil depth was observed. In opposition, Shannon index of diversity was not influenced by crop type, but only by soil depth with a 32% increase in the shallow layer. We conclude that the introduction of perennial energy crops in a South European soil increases both soil biochemical activity and microbial diversity, related to the ability of these crops to stabilize organic matter in soil. It is thereby evidenced that perennial rhizomatous grasses for energy uses could represent a sustainable choice for the recovery of soils depleted by intensive agricultural management." @default.
