Sažetak
Microorganisms in soil represent small but very active part of soil organic matter and are the driving force of nutrient supply in soils. Several studies have demonstrated that intensive tillage has notable effects on the microbial communities’ properties, causing decreases in biodiversity and in microbial biomass. Stimulation and reduction of one part of the microbial populations may induce loss of numerous important soils functions, e.g. mineralization of soil organic compounds or reduction of N20 to greenhouse neutral N2. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the dynamic of microbial communities in soil planted with soybean under different tillage systems. Moreover, abundance of the nitrous- oxide reductase gene (nosZ) as an indicator of soil quality was studied. The research was established at chernozem soil of Northern Baranja region in Republic Croatia as completely randomized block design of four replicate plots for each tillage system in three years experiment. The soil was managed as followed: CT- conventional tillage (moldboard ploughing at 25-30 cm depth), DH- multiple disks harrowing (10-15 cm depth), and NT- no- tillage system. Soil samples were collected from plots in spring, summer and autumn in year 2002, 2003 and 2004. The abundance and diversity of soil microbial communities was investigated by isolating and culturing the microbes on selective media and by culture independent methods.
