Soil Organic Matter Changes in Lithuanian Soils: Experiences and Results

Abstract

Lithuania, Soil organic matter, Eutric Albeluvisol, Soil conservation, Carbon sequestration, Land management, Crop rotationData has been obtained from sandy loam Eutric Albeluvisol-ABe at the Kaltinenai Research Station of the Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture on the undulating topography of Western Lithuania. Results from 18 years of investigations show significant increases in soil organic matter (SOM) content under grass-grain crop rotations compared with field and grain-grass crop rotations, which thus provides evidence for carbon sequestration in soil
