Table 2. Model parameters and coefficients of determination (R2) estimated using the first-order exponential model fitted to the cumulative C mineralized data from the different treatments.
Treatment | C0 (g kg-1) | k (d-1) | T1/2 (d) | C0/SOC (%) | R2 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
CK | 1.23 b | 0.032 c | 21.7 a | 4.8 a | 0.998 ** |
NPK | 1.26 b | 0.048 ab | 15.4 c | 4.7 a | 0.998 ** |
M | 2.10 a | 0.047 a | 14.8 c | 5.1 a | 0.996 ** |
MNPK | 2.62 a | 0.039 bc | 17.8 b | 6.9 a | 0.998 ** |
Notes: CK: no fertilization; NPK: chemical fertilizer; M: organic fertilizer; MNPK: constant organic-inorganic fertilizer. C0, amount of potential mineralizable SOC; k, constant of mineralization rate of SOC; T1/2, half turnover period; C0/SOC, ratio of potential mineralizable organic carbon to total organic carbon in soil. Different small letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) within the same column.
**, statistically significant (P < 0.01)
