Biochar Incorporation into Pasture Soil Suppresses in situ Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Ruminant Urine PatchesJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 40 Số 2 - Trang 468-476 - 2011
Arezoo Taghizadeh‐Toosi, Timothy J. Clough, Leo M. Condron, Robert R. Sherlock, Craig Anderson, Robin A. Craigie
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from grazing animal excreta are estimated to be responsible for 1.5 Tg of the total 6.7 Tg of anthropogenic N2O emissions. This study was conducted to determine the in situ effect of incorporating biochar, into soil, on N2O emissions from bovine urine patches and associated pasture uptake of N. The...... hiện toàn bộ
Biochar and the Nitrogen Cycle: IntroductionJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 1218-1223 - 2010
Timothy J. Clough, Leo M. Condron
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient, and research to date shows that biochar potentially has the ability to manipulate the rates of N cycling in soil systems by influencing nitrification rates and adsorption of ammonia and increasing NH4+ storage by enhancing cation exchange capacity in soils. Its influence on these processes may have further imp...... hiện toàn bộ
Relating Soil Phosphorus to Dissolved Phosphorus in Runoff: A Single Extraction Coefficient for Water Quality ModelingJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 34 Số 2 - Trang 572-580 - 2005
Peter A. Vadas, Peter J. A. Kleinman, Andrew N. Sharpley, Benjamin L. Turner
ABSTRACTPhosphorus transport from agricultural soils contributes to eutrophication of fresh waters. Computer modeling can help identify agricultural areas with high potential P transport. Most models use a constant extraction coefficient (i.e., the slope of the linear regression between filterable reactive phosphorus [FRP] in runoff and soil P) to predict dissolved...... hiện toàn bộ
A Simple Numerical Model for Predicting Organic Matter Decomposition in a Fed‐Batch Composting OperationJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 997-1003 - 2002
Kiyohiko Nakasaki, Akihito Ohtaki
ABSTRACTUsing dog food as a model of the organic waste that comprises composting raw material, the degradation pattern of organic materials was examined by continuously measuring the quantity of CO2 evolved during the composting process in both batch and fed‐batch operations. A simple numerical model was made on the basis of three suppositions ...... hiện toàn bộ
Immobilization of Nickel and Other Metals in Contaminated Sediments by Hydroxyapatite AdditionJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 460-469 - 2001
John C. Seaman, J. Samuel Arey, Paul M. Bertsch
ABSTRACTBatch experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of hydroxyapatite (HA) to reduce the solubility of metals, including the primary contaminants of concern, Ni and U, from contaminated sediments located on the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site, near Aiken, SC. Hydroxyapatite was added to the sediments at application rates of 0, 5, 15.8, and 5...... hiện toàn bộ
A Proposal for Estimation of Soil Leaching and Leaching Constants for Use in Assessment ModelsJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 17-28 - 1983
C.F. Baes, R.D. Sharp
AbstractA model to predict annual‐average, order‐of‐magnitude leaching constants for solutes in agricultural soils is given. The leaching constants, specific by geographic location and solute, are for use in exposure, dose, or risk assessment models to account for removal from the root zone via leaching in a manner analogous to radiological decay. The model present...... hiện toàn bộ
Runoff of Sulfometuron‐Methyl and Cyanazine from Small Plots: Effects of Formulation and Grass CoverJournal of Environmental Quality - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 119-125 - 1990
R. D. Wauchope, Randall Williams, L. R. Marti
AbstractTo determine the effects of application rates, grass cover, and formulation type on herbicide losses in runoff, we applied 4.5 kg/ha cyanazine (2‐[(4‐chloro‐6‐(ethylamino)‐1,3,5‐triazin‐2‐yl)] amino]‐2‐methylpropanenitrile) with 0.4 kg/ha sulfometuron‐methyl (methyl‐2[[[[(4,6‐dimethyl‐2‐pyrimidinyl)amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] benzoate) to 1.2 by 2.4 m...... hiện toàn bộ
