Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) in Arable Soils: Cultivation Systems and Climate Effects

The soil system creates the foundation for any ecosystem functions, including both biotic and abiotic components. It considers the most significant carbon pool on the earth’s surface, and soil organic matter (SOM) is the organic part. An important fraction part includes dissolved organic matter (DOM). Although DOM comes from a small part of soil decomposition products, it is highly reactive in soil solution and characterized as SOM<0.45 μm. DOM is important for soil quality as it controls microbial activities, nutrients retention and transportation, soil acid-basic reactions, and heavy metals immobilization processes, and therefore sustains soil function and, as a result, ecosystem services. Such a change in the soil system resulting from soil management practices can change DOM properties (concentration and composition). This research will study dissolved soil organic matter (DOM) in an arable field to investigate how soil management from crop rotation, fertilization, and tillage practices may change DOM properties in conjunction with seasonal effects.
