- W2090940909 abstract "A variety of organic materials (e.g. composts, paper recycling wastes, hay) can be used as in-row mulches in perennial horticultural cropping systems such as high density apple orchards. As organic materials with variable properties, such mulches can be expected to have variable effects on structure of the soil food web and mineralisation of N and P in the root zone. The overall objectives of this study were to: (1) assess the effects of a selection of organic mulches on the abundance of protozoa and nematode trophic groups; (2) use the model of Hunt et al. [Biol. Fertil. Soils 3 (1987) 393] to assess the implications of changes in microfaunal abundance for microbial turnover and N mineralisation; and (3) determine effects of the mulches on nematode indicators of increased microbial production/turnover and functional diversity of the soil food web. Organic mulch treatments commenced in 1994 and included shredded office paper, municipal biosolids, shredded paper applied over municipal biosolids, shredded paper applied over municipal compost, alfalfa hay, and black polyethylene fabric. The control was conventional tree-row weed management with glyphosate. Biosolids and municipal compost treatments were re-applied in 1997. Protozoan abundance was determined in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Nematode community structure was assessed in 1998, 1999, and twice in 2000. Nematode community parameters evaluated included: abundance of bacterivorous, fungivorous, omnivorous and predacious nematodes; abundance of the root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans; absolute and relative abundances of enrichment opportunist nematodes (Rhabditidae+Diplogasteridae+Panagrolaimidae); Simpson’s diversity; evenness; and the indices of nematode community enrichment (EI) and structure (SI) described by Ferris et al. [Appl. Soil Ecol. 18 (2001) 13]. Measurements of the abundance of enrichment opportunists and the EI were evaluated as indicators of enhanced nutrient fluxes. Diversity and the SI were evaluated as indicators of changes in functional diversity of the soil food web.The abundance of protozoa and bacterivorous nematodes, and estimated fluxes of N and P through the microfauna, were greater under all combinations of biosolids or municipal compost and shredded paper than under the control and plastic mulch. The abundance of enrichment opportunist nematodes and the EI were also consistently greater under combinations of biosolids or municipal compost and shredded paper. The abundance of enrichment opportunists and EI were both also correlated with leaf P, providing additional evidence to support the use of these parameters as indicators of enhanced turnover of microbial biomass and nutrients. The SI was greatest under shredded paper and shredded paper applied over municipal compost, and least under municipal biosolids and alfalfa hay. Population densities of P. penetrans were reduced under shredded paper mulch relative to the control and biosolids alone." @default.
