Our aim was to establish the long-term effects of repeated applications after 20 y of organic amendments (farmyard manure at 10 t/ha/y,and urban sewage sludge at two different rates, 10 t/ha/y and 100 t/ha every 2 y) on the quality of a sandy and poorly bufferedsoil (Fluvisol, pH 6). Chemical characteristics and biodegradability of the labile organic matter, which is mainly derived from microbialbiomass and biodegradation products of organic residues, were chosen as indicators for soil quality. The organic C content had reached amaximal value (30.6 g C/kg in the 100 t sludge-treated soil), i.e. about 2.5 times that in the control. Six years after the last application,the organic C content and the microbial biomass content remained higher in sludge-treated soils than in the control. In contrast, theproportion of labile organic matter was significantly lower in sludge-treated soils than in manure-treated and control soils. The labileorganic matter of sludge extracts appeared less humified than that of manure-treated and control soils.
