This study was conducted to investigate the responses of soil properties and microbial communities to different agricultural management and soil types, including organic management in Andisols (Org-A), organic management in Non-andisols (Org-NA), conventional management in Andisols (Con-A) and conventional management in Non-andisols (Con-NA) by using a pyrosequencing approach of 16S rRNA gene amplicon in Radish farms of volcanic ash soil in Jeju island. The results showed that agricultural management systems had a little influence on the soil chemical properties but had significant influence on microbial communities. In addition, soil types had significant influences on both the soil chemical properties and microbial communities. Organic farming increased the microbial density of bacteria and biomass C compared to conventional farming, regardless of soil types. Additionally, Org-NA had the highest dehydrogenase activity among treatments, whereas no difference was found between Org-A, Con-A and Con-NA and had the highest species richness (Chao 1) and diversity (Phyrogenetic diversity). Particularly, Chao 1 and Phyrogenetic diversity were increased in organic plots by 12% and 20%, compared with conventional plots, respectively. Also, regardless of agricultural management and soil types, Proteobacteria was the most abundant bacterial phylum, accounting for 21.9-25.9% of the bacterial 16S rRNAs. The relative abundance of putative copiotroph such as Firmicutes was highest in Org-NA plot by 21.0%, as follows Con-NA (13.1%), Con-A (6.7%) and Org-A (5.1%.), respectively and those of putative oligotrophs such as Acidobacteria and Planctomycetes were higher in Con-A than those in the other plots. Furthermore, LEfSe indicated that organic system enhanced the abundance of Fumicutes, while conventional system increased the abundance of Acidobacteria, especially in Non-andisols. Correlation analysis showed that total organic carbon (TOC) and nutrient levels (e.g. available P and exchangeable K) were significantly correlated to the structure of the microbial community and microbial activity. Overall, our results showed that the continuous organic farming systems without chemical materials, as well as the soil types made by long-term environmental factors might influence on soil properties and increase microbial abundances and diversity.
제주도 안디졸(Andisol) 토양 분포지역 중 화산성 쇄설물과 현무암으로부터 기원된 두 토양의 Bo층을 대상으로 완충능력을 계산하고 토양의 알루미늄 용해도가 완충능력에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 주상실험 결과는 pH 6.0과 4.0 부근에서 완충작용이 일어남을 보여 주며, 현무암기원의 토양보다 화산쇄설암기원 토양의 완충능력이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 다양한 pH조건에서의 배치평형실험 결과 다량의 알루미늄 함유 광물상을 갖는 제주도 안디졸 토양 Bo층에서의 알루미늄 거동은 Al(OH)3, 이모골라이트 혹은 프로토-이모골라이트 등의 고상에 주로 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. Bo층 토양의 광물조성, 배치 평형실험결과, 그리고 주상실험 결과를 종합해 볼 때, pH 4.0 부근에서 나타나는 뚜렷한 완충능력(β)은 깁사이트 및 프로토-이모골라이트의 용해도 특성에 의해서 좌우되는 것으로 해석된다. pH 6.0 내외의 완충작용은 규산염광물의 용해도 및 염기성양이온의 양이온교환반응에 의해 진행되고 있으나, 낮은 염기성 포화도는 토양산성화가 더 진행될 경우 이러한 완충효과가 오래 지속되지 못할 것임을 지시한다.
