Effets du mode de travail du sol sur les microorganismes à l'échelle du profil cultural
Soil tillage modifies the location of crop residues and soil structure and affects microbial populations and activities such as mineralization of soil organic matter. The aim of this work was to compare the effect of two tillage systems (traditional mouldboard ploughing, LT, and reduced tillage, TR) on crop residues distribution and soil structure as well as their consequences on soil microbial biomass (BM), the potential activity of C mineralization (Cmin) and soil bacterial community structure (through T-RFLP). In order to study simultaneously the effects of soil structure modifications and crop residues distribution on these microbial parameters we used a stratified sampling scheme based…

The relationship between copper accumulated in vineyard calcareous soils and soil organic matter and iron
International audience; The intensive use for over 100 yr of copper sulfate (Bordeaux mixt.) to fight mildew in vineyards has led to a substantial accumulation of copper (Cu) in surface soils. To assess the effects of such large concns., the surface soils of 10 Burgundy vineyards were sampled and analyzed for total org. matter (carbon and nitrogen) and metal (copper and iron) contents. Phys. (i.e. size fractionation) and chem. (sequential extn.) methods were used to det. the distribution of these elements. The most Cu-contaminated plots showed the largest accumulation of org. carbon and Cu in the coarse sand and fine sand fractions. Copper was strongly correlated with org. carbon and org. …
