Özet

Soil management practices significantly impact soil aggregation and carbon (C) dynamics. Organic fertilizer and mycorrhizal inoculation also affect aggregate stability and soil C pool. Thus, this study was designed to assess the effects of inorganic and organic fertilizer treatments (control, chemical fertilizer, animal manure, compost, and compost + mycorrhizal inoculation) on bulk density (rho(b)), C and N concentrations, soil organic C (SOC) pool, C sequestration, total N, aggregate fractions, water-stable aggregates (WSA), and mean weight diameter (MWD) in the long-term field experiment initiated in 1996 on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were collected from the 0- to 0.15-m and 0.15- to 0.30-m depths after wheat (Triticum aestivum) harvest in June 2010 to determine the soil physical and chemical characteristics.
