Contrasting effects of straw and straw-derived biochar application on soil organic matter and corn yield in a Chinese MollisolSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 3843-3856 - 2023
Weishan Meng, Fangni Zhu, Xiruo Wang, Song Guan, Sen Dou, Batande Sinovuyo Ndzelu
More information is needed on the comparative evaluation of C sequestration and soil fertility conservation between straw and biochar application. Particularly, the effect of the co-application of straw and biochar on the quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) remains unknown. A 3-year field experiment was conducted in a Mollisol, and included the following treatments: no application (C...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of biochar-compost to improve properties and productivity of the degraded coastal soil in the Yellow River Delta, ChinaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 780-789 - 2016
Xianxiang Luo, Guocheng Liu, Yang Xia, Lei Chen, Zhixiang Jiang, Hao Zheng, Zhenyu Wang
Nutrient deficiency and salt stress (sodium, Na+) strongly limited the productivity of the degraded coastal soils in the Yellow River Delta. Biochar-based functional materials have been considered as a promising amendment to solving the problem of global soil security (e.g., erosion, fertility loss, acidification, and salinization). Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential of using a b...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemical quality of leachates and enzymatic activities in Technosols with gossan and sulfide wastes from the São Domingos mineSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1366-1382 - 2015

São Domingos mine area (Portuguese Iberian Pyrite Belt) contains several mine wastes with different environmental hazard which are disposed irregularly over a large area. This study aimed to evaluate the following: (1) soil enzymatic activities, chemical quality of leachates and Cistus ladanifer germination in Technosols composed of gossan or sulfide wastes from the mine and amendment mixtures (or...... hiện toàn bộ
Simultaneous quantification of multiple chemical properties of soil solution using smart spectroscopySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024

Soil environmental monitoring is crucial for crop production, urban planning, and human health. However, the existing monitoring methods are inefficient and costly. In order to improve the efficiency of soil monitoring, a multi-indicator concentration detection method based on a new modified spectrometer technology (MST) was proposed. MST, a method that combines high-throughput experiments (HTE) a...... hiện toàn bộ
Cover crop effects on X-ray computed tomography–derived soil pore characteristicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-15 - 2023
Preetika Kaur, Jasmeet Lamba, Thomas R. Way, Vishawjot Sandhu, Kipling S. Balkcom, Alvaro Sanz-Saez, Dexter B. Watts
Cover crops have been used as an effective soil management practice to enhance soil health. However, this practice may create connected soil pore networks that can cause preferential transport of contaminants to the groundwater or surface water via subsurface flow pathways. The main objective of this study was to compare the effect of cover crops on the soil macropore characteristics in the soil p...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of long-term organic amendment on the fertility of soil, nodulation, yield, and seed quality of soybean in a soybean-wheat rotation systemSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1385-1394 - 2021

Organic amendment has long been recognized as an effective approach to improve soil fertility and plant nutrition. Most studies on long-term organic amendment in fields have focused on cereals. The effects of long-term organic amendment on legumes remain largely unknown. Here we studied the impact of organic amendments, including straw and manure on the soil fertility, nodulation, seed yield, and ...... hiện toàn bộ
