Abstract
The article presents information on a study which examined a method for quantifying the impact of soil carbon management on biophysical soil properties, using two apple orchard systems in New Zealand. The soil carbon management is a significant factor for soil quality. The study analyzed the impact of the soil carbon management on biological soil properties, such as microbial biomass carbon, basal respiration, dehydrogenase activity, respiratory quotient, and physical soil properties such as aggregate stability, amount of plant-available water, conductive mean pore diameter near water saturation.
