Various effects of land tenure on soil biochemical parameters under organic and conventional farming - Implications for soil quality restoration
Original language description
Land tenure insecurity is one of the worldwide problems that often leads to soil degradation. We tested whether owner operators maintain a higher level of soil quality and biochemical activity than tenant operators and how this effect is modified by the agricultural system (organic vs. conventional) in arable fields. We selected 45 plots with cambisol soil based on a factorial design of owner operator vs. tenant operator and organic vs. conventional management. On all tested plots, the crop was wheat in shortly after harvest. We measured total carbon in soil and a set of 8 soil enzymes. These enzymes participate in the main geochemical nutrient cycles in soils. Differences in the activity of 4 out of these 8 enzymes and differences in the weighted means of the total enzyme activity show a joint effect and indicated higher biochemical activity of the soil under conventional farming in plots farmed by owners. However, when organic farming was practiced, no obvious differences in enzymatic activity wer
