1. 13C methodologies for quantifying biochar stability in soil: A critique

Author:
Phillip Chalk; Christopher J. Smith
Source:
European journal of soil science 2022 v.73 no.3 pp. e13245
ISSN:
1351-0754
Subject:
biochar; carbon dioxide; feedstocks; soil; soil organic matter
Abstract:
... Methodologies based on ¹³C‐enrichment (E), ¹³C‐depletion (D) and ¹³C‐natural abundance (NA) to estimate the stability of biochar in soil were critically examined. The stability of ¹³C‐enriched biochar can be estimated by the quantitative recovery of excess ¹³C, either in the soil or in evolved CO₂. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. Recovery in the soil is a measure of both residua ...

Subject:
clay; covariance; geostatistics; models; pH; prediction; soil organic carbon; spectroscopy; uncertainty; variance; Cameroon
Abstract:
... Digital soil mapping (DSM) approaches provide soil information by utilising the relationship between soil properties and environmental variables. Calibration of DSM models requires measurements that may often have substantial measurement errors which propagate to the DSM outputs and need to be accounted for. This study applied a geostatistical‐based DSM approach that incorporates measurement error ...

Subject:
allophanic soils; aluminum; biodegradation; carbon dioxide; pH; soil organic carbon
Abstract:
... There is increasing evidence that the accessibility of soil organic matter (SOM) to microbial decomposers is more important than chemical recalcitrance for regulating SOM stability. We show that the rapid reduction in SOM decomposition following the addition of sorptive mineral phases to soils in laboratory conditions leads to decreased accessibility of SOM to microbial decomposers due to the form ...

acid soils; acidity; alkalinization; biomass; calcium nitrate; economic feasibility; nitrate fertilizers; nitrogen; phosphorus; phosphorus fertilizers; rhizosphere; soil pH; subsoil; subsurface soil layers; total nitrogen; urea; wheat
Abstract:
... Combatting subsoil acidity is a challenge as the incorporation of lime in subsurface layers may not be economically feasible. The use of nitrate to facilitate plant excess anion uptake has shown the potential to increase soil pH. A column experiment was carried out to demonstrate this root‐induced alkalization in various depths in an acid soil with pH 4.28 (0.01 M CaCl₂). It consisted of two types ...

aqua regia; cation exchange capacity; pH; pollutants; soil organic carbon; toxicity; Germany
Abstract:
... Copper (Cu) is an essential element for plants and microorganisms and at larger concentrations a toxic pollutant. A number of factors controlling Cu dynamics have been reported, but information on quantitative relationships is scarce. We aimed to (i) quantitatively describe and predict soil Cu concentrations (CuAR) in aqua regia considering site‐specific effects and effects of pH, soil organic car ...

Abstract:
... Long‐term field experiments (LTEs) are invaluable in improving understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) turnover, as some of the involved processes have proceeded over centuries. Prediction of such slow carbon fluxes depends especially on the initialization of slow‐reacting model pools and requires monitoring for a very long time for evaluation. This study reports soil organic matter (SOM) model ...

Abstract:
... Increasing the diversity of crops grown in arable soils delivers multiple ecological functions. Whether mixtures of residues from different crops grown in polyculture contribute to microbial assimilation of carbon (C) to a greater extent than would be expected from applying individual residues is currently unknown. In this study, we used ¹³C isotope labelled cover crop residues (buckwheat, clover, ...

Abstract:
... Dryland soils provide different societal and environmental services, such as food supply and biodiversity support. In Europe, most of the dryland areas are devoted to agriculture. In the next decades, both European and worldwide drylands are expected to suffer with increased intensity due to the expected climate change‐derived rise in aridity. Many studies have focussed on aridity‐induced changes ...

Abstract:
... Spectroscopic measurements of soil samples are reliable because they are highly repeatable and reproducible. They characterise the samples' mineral–organic composition. Estimates of concentrations of soil constituents are inevitably less precise than estimates obtained conventionally by chemical analysis. But the cost of each spectroscopic estimate is at most one‐tenth of the cost of a chemical de ...
