Abstract

Clearing weeds in an intensively managed Chinese chestnut （Castanea mollissima） plantation is a common practice；however，this could change soil quality. To test the effects of clearing weeds in a Chinese chestnut plantation on soil biological properties，a field trial was conducted. Treatments of deep plowing，spraying herbicides，cutting and no treating（control） were done in Linan City. Results showed that soil with deep plowed weeds had more abundant soil microbial biomass carbon （MBC） and water-soluble organic carbon （WSOC） compared to the control. The opposite was observed under Chinese chestnuts with weeds cleared using herbicides. The Biolog Micro-plate revealed that soil in the control plot had the greatest microbial biodiversity with the highest C utilization capability. Also，all analyzed soil biological parameters in the weed cutting plots ranked in the middle. Since soil plowing often results in soil erosion，cutting weeds but not plowing them into deep soil is recommended for farmer-managed Chinese chestnut plantations in subtropical zones with high precipitation.［Ch，1 fig. 4 tab. 15 ref.］
