Zusammenfassung, Abstract
The objective was to study the effects of tillage and cattle slurry application on organic C dynamics in grassland soils. Treatments included long-term grassland and reinstalled grassland (after tillage and winter wheat cropping) with and without cattle slurry application (240 kg N ha(-1) y(-1)). A period of 4 y slurry application sufficed to increase microbial activity 1.6-fold in surface soil (0-10 cm). Tillage affected aggregate distribution and basal respiration in the surface soil.
