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 ...

crystal structure; iron; models; spectroscopy; support vector machines
Abstract:
... Soil iron (Fe) performs vital functions in the biogeochemical cycles of soil environments. The amount and profile allocation of various Fe parameters can be used as sensitive indicators of soil development and pedogenic processes. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of ground‐based hyperspectral imaging (HSI: 400–1010 nm) spectroscopy to predict and map six Fe parameters indicative of pedog ...

Subject:
bioactive properties; bioturbation; carbon; climate; metabolism; soil pore system; temporal variation
Abstract:
... Soil functions, including climate regulation and the cycling of water and nutrients, are of central importance for a number of environmental issues of great societal concern. To understand and manage these functions, it is crucial to be able to quantify the structure of soils, now increasingly referred to as their “architecture,” as it constraints the physical, chemical and biological processes in ...

ISSN:

Subject:
clay; frozen soils; hydraulic conductivity; models; temperature; water content
Abstract:
... Accurate evaluation of water migration in frozen soils requires the determination of hydraulic conductivity. Most classical predictive models of hydraulic conductivity rely on the pore bundle concept that only accounts for capillary flow and neglects the water film flow. This may underestimate the hydraulic conductivity of frozen soil. In this study, water in the capillary tube was divided into fr ...

Technosols; bulk density; climate; global carbon budget; humans; land use; meta-analysis; nitrogen; soil organic carbon; vegetation
Abstract:
... Technosols, which are soils strongly impacted by human activity, are becoming increasingly common. To date, there has been little study of the share of the global soil carbon budget made up of carbon in Technosols or the contribution of Technosols to climate mitigation. A meta‐analysis is proposed based on the analysis of 130 articles and consisting of the extraction of 953 observations on soil or ...

Abstract:
... La Mancha (Central Spain) is one of the most extensive vineyard regions in the world, and ‘Valdepeñas’ is a representative Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) in this region. However, what are their main soil types? what kind of horizons are the most common? and what is the role of the geomorphological positions in their pedodiversity? After describing and sampling 90 soil profiles in this area ...

Abstract:
... Anion exclusion is an important phenomenon in agricultural, environmental and engineering fields which still needs suitable quantitative models. In this work, a novel model is proposed which considers the porous media as parallel capillaries with negatively charged walls that cause total anion exclusion at a distance from the walls. By defining the ‘anion velocity coefficient’, υ−, as the ratio of ...

soil water characteristic; texture; tillage; water content
Abstract:
... Simple and quick determination of the optimum water content for tillage (θOPT) is helpful to guide tillage operations. Based on the definition of θOPT that is the water content at the inflection point of the soil water retention curve, a simple method was established to estimate the θOPT from saturated water content (θₛ) (θOPT = 0.75θₛ). The validation results on 132 soils with varying texture sho ...

Abstract:
... We have read with interest an opinion paper recently published in the European Journal of Soil Science (Berthelin et al., 2022). This paper presents some interesting considerations, at least one of which is already well known to soil scientists working on soil organic carbon (SOC), that is, a large portion (80%–90%) of fresh carbon inputs to soil is subject to rapid mineralization. The short‐term ...

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:
carbon; microbial activity; soil; soil organic matter; uncertainty
Abstract:
... Macroscopic models of soil organic matter (SOM) turnover have faced difficulties in reproducing SOM dynamics or in predicting the spatial distribution of carbon stocks. These models are based on a largely inadequate linear response of soil microorganisms to bulk concentrations of nutrients and it is clear that a new approach to SOM modelling is required. Introducing explicit microbial activity and ...

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 ...

Gibbs free energy; adsorption; calcium; environmental impact; illite; molecular dynamics; potassium; radioactive waste; tillage
Abstract:
... Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺ and Ca²⁺ are common exogenous cations that could be introduced into soils either via long‐term tillage with inorganic fertilizers or the leakage of nuclear waste. However, the manner in which they co‐adsorb and compete with the intrinsic potassium ions in illite, the response of intrinsic potassium (K′⁺), as well as the underlying mechanisms of these interactions, remain unclear.

Abstract:
... The initial steps of complex organic matter degradation in soil comprise several oxidative processes catalysed by phenol oxidases and peroxidases. Commonly, their activity is determined by colorimetric approaches based on a range of substrates, making comparison between studies difficult. To improve this shortcoming, we conducted a calibration procedure for assessing phenol oxidase and peroxidase ...

Abstract:
... Soil erosion is a major and costly environmental hazard worldwide. Obtaining a thorough understanding of the soil erosion process is essential for erosion control. The high erodibility of the saline‐sodic soil in coastal areas causes rills to develop rapidly and erosion patterns change substantially during the rainfall process. Understanding the temporal and spatial dynamics of the soil surface mo ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
