The “4 per 1,000” initiative calls for land management practices that increase soil organic C (SOC). Despite an imperative for accurate SOC measurement, several methodological issues may complicate the verification of C sequestration. The aim of this work is to evaluate the potential advantages of using apparent electrical conductivity (ECa)‐directed sampling to deep (0–90 cm) SOC stock assessment. We compared simple random sampling (SRS) and stratified random sampling (StSRS), with either a fixed or optimized number of samples, in fields managed under conservation agriculture and conventional tillage. The stratification in StSRS was built from ECa maps that showed two different soil conditions—the presence or absence (high‐salinity conditions) of a strong correlation between ECa and soil properties. Treatment and sampling design effects on SOC estimates were tested through a mixed‐model approach. Sampling efficiency was calculated by classical and bootstrap methods. Results suggested that when ECa has a strong relationship with soil properties, StSRS was more efficient than SRS, especially when using an optimal number of samples per stratum. Stratification was based on ECa maps of the no‐till site, which allowed a smaller minimum sample size. When stratification failed due to the effect of salinity on ECa, StSRS efficiency was similar to SRS. These results suggest that ECa–directed sampling, regardless of knowing the relationships between ECa and soil properties, is a win‐win solution to advance soil characterization and SOC stock estimation in agricultural fields of the low Venetian plain. However, further research should investigate EC a–directed sampling where strong patterns not related to SOC could lead to inappropriate stratification or suboptimal sample allocation.

土壤视在电导率定向采样设计,可提高农业领域的土壤特性

“每千分之四”的倡议要求采取土地管理措施,以增加土壤有机碳(SOC)。尽管必须进行准确的SOC测量,但是一些方法学问题可能会使C螯合的验证复杂化。这项工作的目的是评估使用表观电导率(EC a)定向采样进行深(0-90 cm)SOC储量评估的潜在优势。我们在保护性农业和常规耕作管理的田地中比较了简单的随机抽样(SRS)和分层的随机抽样(StSRS),无论抽样数量固定还是优化。StSRS中的分层是根据EC建立的,图显示了两种不同的土壤条件-EC之间存在很强相关性的存在或不存在(高盐度条件)a和土壤性质。通过混合模型方法测试了处理和采样设计对SOC估计值的影响。采样效率通过经典方法和自举方法计算。结果表明,当EC a与土壤特性密切相关时,StSRS比SRS更有效,尤其是在每个层使用最佳数量的样品时。分层基于EC免耕地点图,从而可以减小最小样本量。当盐分对EC a的影响导致分层失败时,StSRS效率类似于SRS。这些结果表明,不管知道EC a之间的关系,都采用EC a定向抽样。和土壤特性,是在低威尼斯平原平原农田中推进土壤特性和SOC储量估算的双赢解决方案。但是,进一步的研究应调查EC a定向抽样,其中与SOC不相关的强模式可能导致分层不当或样本分配不理想。
