Soil organic matter enhances aboveground biomass in alpine grassland under drought

YunFei Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, the link between aboveground biomass (AGB) and soil organic matter (SOM) across 209 alpine grassland sites on the Tibetan Plateau was evaluated. It was found that AGB decreased with increasing aridity severity above a threshold of 0.37. Additionally, a stronger positive relationship between AGB and SOM was observed in more arid conditions beyond an aridity threshold of 0.64. The results highlight the importance of soil carbon sequestration strategies for biomass production and climate change mitigation in arid areas.

Comparative study on the potential risk of contaminated-rice straw, its derived biochar and phosphorus modified biochar as an amendment and their implication for environment

Yutong Zong et al.

Summary: This study explored the use of biochar or modified biochar techniques to reduce the potential pollution risk of Cd in contaminated rice straw. It was found that straw biochar and phosphorus modified biochar could enhance soil properties and reduce the bioavailability of Cd, effectively minimizing Cd availability in soil and reducing the pollution risk of Cd in rice straw.

Biochar as a potential strategy for remediation of contaminated mining soils: Mechanisms, applications, and future perspectives

Yining Gao et al.

Summary: Soil heavy metal contamination caused by mining activities is a global issue that threatens public health. Biochar, as an environmentally friendly soil remediation agent, can effectively immobilize heavy metals. However, research on biochar remediation in mining areas is limited and the remediation effect is influenced by various factors. It is necessary to systematically unravel the knowledge of biochar remediation and provide guidance for future studies.

Targeted biochar application alters physical, chemical, hydrological and thermal properties of salt-affected soils under cotton-sugarbeet intercropping

Xiaofang Wang et al.

Summary: Biochar application has the potential to amend salt-affected soils and promote crop yield, but its effects vary depending on crop, soil, biochar properties, and climate. This study investigated the impact of different biochar application rates on soil properties, water and temperature conditions, and crop yields in saline-alkali soils. The results suggested that an application rate of 10 t ha(-1) of biochar is appropriate for improving salt-affected soils and increasing crop yields.

A novel maize biochar-based compound fertilizer for immobilizing cadmium and improving soil quality and maize growth

Zhifan Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel biochar-based compound fertilizer was synthesized and its effects on the immobilization of available cadmium, soil fertility and maize growth were investigated. Results showed that low doses of the compound fertilizer significantly reduced Cd availability in soil and improved soil fertility and maize growth. The increase of pyrolysis temperature enhanced the biochar adsorption capacity for Cd2+ and the modification of urea, diatomite, and triple superphosphate played a vital role in cadmium immobilization, soil improvement, and maize growth.
