Abstract

Self-regenerating fallows are areas left to regenerate naturally after agricultural use and are typically characterized by diverse plant species and minimal human intervention. To measure the efficiency of this natural fallow system, we evaluated soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient concentrations vis-à-vis the fallow duration. The study site was located in the Onigbedu community, Ogun State, Nigeria, with large commercial limestone deposits. Mining and agriculture are the main land use types. The study was oriented on 100 hectares of land previously cultivated at different times and left to fallow. The fallow duration ranged between less than 3 years and more than 20 years. At the end of this study, it was observed that the soils are within a large group of calcareous soils. SOC ranged from 15 to 26 mg/g, available phosphorus from 3.0 to 6.0 mg/kg, total nitrogen from 0.5–2.0 mg/g, effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) from 2.0–24.0 cmol(+)/kg, calcium from 2.0–20 cmol(+)/kg, Mg from 1.0–2.0 cmol(+)/kg, 0.1–0.4 cmol(+)/kg, manganese from 19 to 80 mg/kg, and zinc from 1.5–2.0 mg/kg in increasing order of fallow duration. Soil nutrients and SOC improved consistently with increasing fallow periods. While fallow duration influenced soil nutrient build-up, other management practices and environmental factors also play significant roles. Farmers can enhance soil fertility and nutrient levels by optimizing fallow durations and using efficient soil management practices, leading to sustainable agriculture and improved crop yields.

湿润热带农业生态中自再生休耕的富含钙质的粘土土壤中的有机碳和养分富集作用
自生休耕是指在农业使用后让其自然再生的区域,其典型特征是植物物种多样,人为干预极少。为了衡量这种自然休耕系统的效率,我们评估了土壤有机碳(SOC)和养分浓度与休耕期的关系。研究地点位于尼日利亚奥贡州的 Onigbedu 社区,这里有大量商业石灰石矿藏。采矿和农业是主要的土地利用类型。研究对象是 100 公顷曾在不同时期耕种过并休耕的土地。休耕时间从不到 3 年到超过 20 年不等。研究结果表明,这些土壤属于石灰性土壤的一个大类。土壤有机碳含量为 15 至 26 毫克/克,可利用磷含量为 3.0 至 6.0 毫克/千克,全氮含量为 0.5 至 2.0 毫克/克,有效阳离子交换容量(ECEC)为 2.0 至 24.0 毫摩尔(+)/千克,钙含量为 2.0 至 20 毫摩尔(+)/千克。随着休耕期的延长,镁从 1.0-2.0 cmol(+)/kg,锰从 0.1-0.4 cmol(+)/kg,锰从 19 到 80 mg/kg,锌从 1.5-2.0 mg/kg。随着休耕期的延长,土壤养分和 SOC 不断改善。虽然休耕期影响土壤养分的积累,但其他管理方法和环境因素也起着重要作用。农民可以通过优化休耕期和采用高效的土壤管理方法来提高土壤肥力和养分水平,从而实现可持续农业和提高作物产量。
