Land use and amelioration practices are
considered as main drivers in change of biological soil quality indicators in
meadow Solonchaks. To gain insight into the impact of amelioration with alfalfa
(Medicago sativa L.) cultivation on
the underlying soil microbiological and biochemical properties, the objective
of this study was to determine the effect of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivation on biological soil quality
indicators such as microorganisms counts, microbial biomass, basal soil
respiration and enzyme activities (dehydrogenase, catalase, -glucosidase,
protease, urease, alkaline phosphatase and arylsulphatase) in meadow Solonchak.
Post-amelioration with alfalfa cultivation influenced the soil microbiological
and biochemical properties and increased soil organic matter content and
improved biological soil quality indicators. The results of this study may
contribute to future researches for soil microbial communities in different
type of amelioration practices in soil quality and sustainable productivity
meadow Solonchaks.
