- Abstract
This paper deals with the effect of increased doses of compost in reclamation substrate on soil respiration and content of mineral nitrogen in soil. To demonstrate the effect of increased doses of compost (300 % of recommended dose) on soil respiration and content of mineral nitrogen in soil, the pot experiment was performed. Five variants with the same doses of compost and different doses of mineral organic fertilizers were prepared. The highest respiration was determined in variant with compost addition. And the highest content of mineral nitrogen was found in variant with only addition of mineral fertilizers. These results point to the positive effect of higher doses of compost on microbial activity in the soil and the availability of soil nutrients.
