钢渣与生物质炭配合施用对红壤酸度的改良效果

采用厌氧热解方法制备污泥生物质炭和花生秸秆炭,研究了钢渣和生物质炭单独施用及配合施用对红壤酸度的改良效果,结果表明,钢渣、花生秸秆炭和污泥生物质炭均含有一定量的碱性物质,向红壤中添加钢渣和生物质炭可以中和土壤酸度,提高土壤pH,增加土壤交换性盐基阳离子含量,降低土壤交换性铝含量.90天培养实验结束时,这3种改良剂分别使土壤pH相对对照提高1.10、0.72和0.48.钢渣与花生秸秆炭配合施用对土壤酸度的改良效果最好,使土壤pH相对对照提高2.14,单施污泥生物质炭的改良效果最小.钢渣和生物质炭含一定量的养分元素,添加钢渣和生物质炭可以同时改善土壤肥力.钢渣含丰富的钙,添加钢渣使土壤交换性钙含量增幅最大,相对对照增加4.5倍;添加花生秸秆炭使土壤交换钾增加最显著,相对对照约增加7倍;污泥生物质炭含丰富的磷,添加污泥生物质炭使土壤有效磷增加最显著,相对对照增加5.4倍.添加钢渣和2种生物质炭均显著提高了土壤交换性镁含量,将钢渣与生物质炭配合施用,土壤交换性镁含量的增幅更大.由于钢渣和2种生物质炭的碱含量和养分含量各有特点,因此可以根据土壤酸度状况和养分含量选择将钢渣与不同生物质炭配合施用,以达到既能最大限度中和土壤酸度又能补充土壤所必需养分的目的.     

秸秆及生物质炭对砖红壤酸度及交换性能的影响

为合理运用秸秆材料改良热带地区砖红壤,采用室内培养试验研究了玉米秸秆及其制备的生物质炭对海南花岗岩母质发育的砖红壤的酸度和交换性能的影响。试验设单施生物质炭(B)、生物质炭和秸秆混合施用(BCS)、单施秸秆(CS)及对照(CK)共4个处理。结果表明,添加生物质炭和秸秆显著提高土壤p H、CEC、交换性盐基总量和盐基饱和度。秸秆和生物质炭可降低土壤交换性酸,尤其是交换性酸中交换性铝含量更是显著降低,表明生物碳和秸秆施用能够有效降低砖红壤酸度,提高交换性能。不同处理改良效果的大小顺序为CSBCSB。     

不同产地油菜秸秆制备的生物质炭对红壤酸度和土壤pH缓冲容量的影响

  目的  明确不同产地油菜秸秆制备的生物质炭对红壤酸度的改良和土壤pH缓冲容量的提升效果。  方法  将不同添加量的油菜秸秆炭分别与两种酸性红壤混合,然后进行室内培养试验,测定培养实验前后土壤pH、pH缓冲容量、土壤交换性盐基离子和土壤交换性酸。  结果  添加油菜秸秆炭显著提高了土壤的pH、pH缓冲容量、交换性盐基离子含量,显著降低了土壤交换性酸含量。说明添加油菜秸秆炭不仅可以改良红壤酸度,还能提高红壤的抗酸化能力,因而可以减缓土壤的复酸化。生长在碱性土壤上的油菜秸秆制备的生物质炭对红壤酸度的改良效果和对土壤pH缓冲容量的提升效果均优于生长在酸性土壤上的油菜秸秆制备的生物质炭,在5%添加水平下,前者使湖南红壤pH相比对照提高37.4%,后者使该土壤的pH提高22.4%;相应地,2种生物质炭分别使该土壤的pH缓冲容量分别提高41.4%和37.3%。2种油菜秸秆炭对红壤pH和pH缓冲容量的提升效果与其碱含量和表面官能团多少相一致。  结论  碱性土壤上生长的油菜秸秆制备的生物质炭对红壤具有更好的改良效果。     

不同地区油菜秸秆制备的生物质炭对酸性红壤的改良效果

从江西鹰潭、安徽宣城、江苏南京和淮阴等4个地区收集油菜秸秆,在500℃下厌氧热解制备生物质炭,比较生物质炭的pH、盐基离子和碳酸盐含量的差异,并在20 g/kg加入量下考察其对安徽宣城pH 4.1的酸性红壤改良效果。结果表明,江西鹰潭油菜秸秆炭pH、盐基离子和碳酸盐含量最低,安徽宣城油菜秸秆炭次之,江苏淮阴和南京油菜秸秆炭的相应参数值最高。当用这4种油菜秸秆炭改良土壤酸度时,改良效果表现为江苏淮阴>江苏南京>安徽宣城>江西鹰潭,与生物质炭pH、盐基离子和碳酸盐含量一致。因此,利用秸秆生物质炭改良土壤酸度时,不仅需要考虑炭化条件和秸秆类型,作物的产地差异也需要进行考量。     

生物质炭中盐基离子存在形态及其与改良酸性土壤的关系

为研究生物质炭中盐基离子存在形态及其与改良酸性土壤的关系,通过厌氧热解的方法于300、500和700℃下制备了玉米秸秆炭。考察了热解温度对玉米秸秆炭水溶性、交换性和盐基总量的影响。采用室内培养的方法考察了添加玉米秸秆炭对酸性土壤的改良效果。结果表明:热解温度影响玉米秸秆炭各形态盐基离子含量,玉米秸秆炭总K、总Na、总Ca、总Mg、水溶性K、水溶性Na、水溶性Ca、交换性Ca和交换性Mg含量随热解温度升高显著增加;水溶性Mg和交换性K含量随热解温度升高先增加后下降。玉米秸秆炭中的K和Na主要以水溶态存在,约40%的Ca和30%的Mg以交换态存在,约50%的Ca和70%的Mg以其他形态(主要为难溶态)存在。添加玉米秸秆炭能极显著提高酸性土壤pH和降低土壤交换性Al3+含量,提高和降低幅度随热解温度升高极显著增加。总K+总Na+总Ca+总Mg含量可以作为衡量玉米秸秆炭提高酸性土壤pH能力的间接指标。添加玉米秸秆炭能极显著提高土壤交换性K、Na和Mg含量,能显著提高交换性Ca和总盐基离子含量。玉米秸秆炭总K和总Na含量是提高土壤交换性K和Na含量的决定因素,交换性Ca含量在提高土壤交换性Mg和交换性盐基总量中起决定作用。     

秸秆直接还田及炭化还田对土壤酸度和交换性能的影响

【目的】 本研究旨在通过连续4年田间微区定位试验,比较等氮磷钾养分条件下秸秆炭化还田与等量秸秆直接还田对土壤酸度及交换性能的影响,以期为土壤酸化改良及秸秆、生物炭资源合理利用提供理论依据。 【方法】 试验以沈阳农业大学植物营养与肥料研究所玉米渗滤池微区定位试验为基础,共设6个处理,分别为不施肥 (CK)、氮磷钾配施 (NPK)、单施生物炭 (C)、生物炭+NPK(CNPK)、单施秸秆 (S)、秸秆+NPK(SNPK)。其中NPK、CNPK和SNPK处理养分投入总量相等,均为N 225 kg/hm2、P₂O₅ 112.5 kg/hm2和K₂O 112.5 kg/hm2,S处理秸秆施用量为4500 kg/hm2,单施生物炭处理生物炭施用量为1500 kg/hm2。应用化学分析法对土壤活性酸、交换性酸、阳离子交换量及交换性盐基离子进行分析和测定。 【结果】 经过连续4年的不同施肥处理,施用生物炭及秸秆均显著提高了土壤pH,降低了土壤交换性酸总量和交换性铝含量,但各处理间交换性H+含量差异不显著。相较于试验前土壤 (pH 6.05),单施生物炭和单施秸秆处理分别使土壤pH提高了0.55和0.45个单位。在等氮磷钾养分条件下,CNPK和SNPK处理较试验前分别使土壤pH提高了0.31和0.13个单位,且CNPK处理显著高于SNPK,但二者之间对土壤交换性酸含量的影响无显著差异。同时各处理交换性盐基离子总量均显著高于CK,单独施用生物炭对提高土壤盐基总量、交换性Ca2+和交换性Mg2+的效果显著优于单独施用秸秆。在等秸秆量与等氮磷钾养分条件下,秸秆炭化还田及秸秆直接还田较不施肥对照分别使交换性盐基总量提高了17.6%和15.1%,且秸秆炭化还田对提高土壤有效阳离子交换量的效果显著优于秸秆直接还田。与CK处理相比,C、CNPK、S和SNPK处理分别使土壤阳离子交换量提高了1.68、2.52、1.53、2.30 cmol/kg,其中以CNPK处理效果最佳。 【结论】 在等秸秆量和等氮磷钾养分条件下,施用生物炭和秸秆能有效降低土壤酸度和交换性酸中交换性铝含量,提高土壤盐基离子含量及交换性能,且秸秆炭化还田的效果更为明显。      

连续施用炭基肥对花生土壤性质和产量的影响

通过田间微区定位试验,研究施用炭基缓释花生专用肥及不同有机肥配施化肥对连作花生土壤理化性质及产量的影响。结果表明,采用炭基缓释肥可以明显提高土壤氮磷钾养分含量和花生产量。连续施用3年后,炭基缓释花生专用肥处理产量达到最高,为6 488 kg/hm2,且显著高于其他处理方式。施用炭基肥在提高土壤有机质、全钾、速效钾含量方面效果优于其他处理方式;在提高土壤全氮、碱解氮含量方面效果与其它处理方式相差不大。而在提高土壤全磷方面炭基肥效果不如其它处理。同时,施用炭基肥在维持土壤p H值效果上略差于其他处理,随着种植年限的增加p H值有所下降;而猪粪配施化肥和玉米秸秆配施化肥处理在防止土壤酸化方面效果较好。     

生物质灰对红壤酸度的改良效果

用采自安徽、浙江、湖南和广东的4种红壤和1种赤红壤,通过室内培养实验研究了添加生物质灰对酸性土壤的改良效果。结果表明,添加生物质灰提高了土壤p H,降低了土壤交换性铝含量,且阳离子交换量(CEC)越小改良效果越明显。改良后土壤交换性K+、Ca2+、Mg2+含量也显著增加,交换性Ca2+增幅最大,其次为交换性K+。有效磷含量也有增加,磷含量较高的土壤有效磷增幅更大。虽然生物质灰含有一定量的重金属,但由于用量较少,对土壤有效态重金属含量的影响小,施用生物质灰的环境风险较小。总之,添加生物质灰不仅可以有效改良红壤酸度,还可提高红壤肥力。     

生物质炭对旱地红壤理化性状和作物产量的持续效应

以江西进贤旱地红壤为供试土壤,连续3a观测施用生物质炭(0t/hm2,2.5t/hm2,5t/hm2,10t/hm2,20t/hm2,30t/hm2和40t/hm2)后土壤容重、孔隙度、饱和导水率、土壤pH、有机碳、阳离子交换量及油菜和红薯产量的变化。结果表明:生物质炭连续3a降低土壤容重,提高了土壤孔隙度和土壤饱和导水率,提升了土壤pH,增加了土壤有机碳和阳离子交换量;油菜和红薯产量均随生物质炭施用量的增加而增加,且红薯产量增幅大于油菜。随种植年限的延长,作物产量增幅越大。高施用量(40t/hm2)处理在旱地红壤上的改良效果和增产效应最好,施用生物质炭后第3a其土壤容重下降了0.17g/cm3,土壤孔隙度和饱和导水率分别增加了11.71%和126.57%,土壤pH、有机碳和阳离子交换量分别提高了7.25%,47.88%和44.61%,油菜和红薯产量分别增加了1.23t/hm2和14.83t/hm2。在连续3a内,旱地红壤施用生物质炭对改善土壤理化性状,维持作物增产具有持续效应,为生物质炭在红壤地区的大规模推广应用提供了科学依据。     

不同改良剂对酸性土壤的修复效应

为明确不同改良剂对酸性植烟土壤的修复效应,采用盆栽试验,分析了施用丰收延酸性土壤改良剂、金叶酸性土壤改良剂及石灰后土壤pH、水解性酸、潜性酸及土壤交换性能的动态变化。结果表明:施用改良剂可提高土壤pH 3.01%~24.11%,降低土壤水解性酸16.08%~50.46%、交换性Al 3+51.80%~64.27%、交换性H+含量84.12%~93.56%,提高土壤交换性盐基总量45.18%~46.16%、阳离子交换量0.33%~20.10%、盐基饱和度21.35%~49.78%。施用土壤改良剂后,土壤pH先升高后下降,至移栽60天后趋于稳定;土壤水解性酸在烤烟移栽后30~90天差异较小,至移栽后120天略有增加。施用石灰的土壤交换性氢、交换性铝一直下降,但施用丰收延、金叶酸性土壤改良剂的土壤交换性铝下降至烟苗移栽后120天略有增加,土壤交换性氢上升至烟苗移栽后120天大幅度下降。施用土壤改良剂后,土壤交换性盐基总量、阳离子交换量、盐基饱和度一直提高,但变化幅度较小。不同土壤改良剂的材料来源及组成成分不同,其对酸性土壤的恢复效果也不同,以施用石灰的效果最好。     

三种植物物料对两种茶园土壤酸度的改良效果

用室内培养实验研究了稻草、花生秸秆和紫云英在 5、10 和 20 g/kg 的加入量水平下对茶园黄棕壤和茶园红壤酸度的改良效果.结果表明:除了黄棕壤加入紫云英处理会降低土壤的 pH 外,其余所有加入植物物料的处理均使土壤 pH 有不同程度的增加,使土壤交换性酸和交换性Al的数量减小,使土壤交换性盐基阳离子和盐基饱和度增加.有机物料对土壤酸度的改良效果与有机物料灰化碱和N含量有关,灰化碱和有机N的矿化使土壤 pH 升高,NH4+-N的硝化使土壤 pH 降低.3种植物物料中花生秸秆对土壤酸度的改良效果优于紫云英和稻草.加入植物物料使红壤中有毒形态Al的浓度显著减小,说明植物物料能够缓解红壤中Al对植物的毒害.     

通过施用碱性矿渣和作物残茬生物炭以促进酸性老成土中盐基饱并降低土壤酸度

This investigation was conducted by using alkaline slag and crop straw biochars to reduce acidity of an acidic Ultisol through incubation and pot experiments with lime as a comparison. The soil was amended with different liming materials： lime（1 g kg^-1）,alkaline slag（2 and 4 g kg^-1）, peanut straw biochar（10 and 20 g kg^-1）, canola straw biochar（10 and 20 g kg^-1） and combinations of alkaline slag（2 g kg^-1） and biochars（10 g kg^-1） in the incubation study. A pot experiment was also conducted to observe the soybean growth responses to the above treatments. The results showed that all the liming materials increased soil p H and decreased soil exchangeable acidity. The higher the rates of alkaline slag, biochars, and alkaline slag combined with biochars, the greater the increase in soil p H and the reduction in soil exchangeable acidity. All the amendments increased the levels of one or more soil exchangeable base cations. The lime treatment increased soil exchangeable Ca^2＋, the alkaline slag treatment increased exchangeable Ca^2＋ and Mg^2＋ levels, and the biochars and combined applications of alkaline slag with biochars increased soil exchangeable Ca^2＋, Mg^2＋ and K^＋ and soil available P. The amendments enhanced the uptake of one or more nutrients of N, P, K, Ca and Mg by soybean in the pot experiment. Of the different amendments, the combined application of alkaline slag with crop straw biochars was the best choice for increasing base saturation and reducing soil acidity of the acidic Ultisol. The combined application of alkaline slag with biochars led to the greatest reduction in soil acidity, increased soil Ca, Mg, K and P levels, and enhanced the uptake of Ca, Mg, K and P by soybean plants.     

Effect of low energy-consuming biochars in combination with nitrate fertilizer on soil acidity amelioration and maize growth

Purpose

We evaluated the ameliorative effects of crop straw biochars either alone or in combination with nitrate fertilizer on soil acidity and maize growth.

Materials and methods

Low energy-consuming biochars were prepared from canola and peanut straws at 400 °C for 2 h. Incubation experiment was conducted to determine application rate of biochars. Afterward, maize crop was grown in pots for 85 days to investigate the effects of 1 % biochars combined with nitrate fertilizer on soil pH, exchangeable acidity, and maize growth in an Ultisol collected from Guangdong Province, China.

Results and discussion

Application of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 % either canola straw biochar (CSB) or peanut straw biochar (PSB) increased soil pH by 0.15, 0.27, 0.34, and 0.30, 0.58, 0.83 U, respectively, after 65-day incubation. Soil pH was increased by 0.49, 0.72, 0.78, and 0.88 U when 1 % CSB or PSB was applied in combination with 100 and 200 mg N/kg of nitrate, respectively, after maize harvest in greenhouse pot experiment. These low-cost biochars when applied alone or in combination with nitrate not only reduced soil exchangeable acidity, but also increased Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Na⁺, and base saturation degree of the soil. A total of 49.91 and 80.58 % decreases in exchangeable acidity were observed when 1 % CSB and PSB were incubated with the soil for 65 days, compared to pot experiment where 71.35, 78.64, 80.2, and 81.77 % reductions of exchangeable acidity were observed when 1 % CSB and PSB were applied in combination with 100 and 200 mg N/kg of nitrate, respectively. The higher contents of base cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Na⁺) in biochars also influenced the plant growth. The higher biomass in CSB-treated pots was attributed to the higher K content compared to PSB. The higher percent reduction in exchangeable Al³⁺ by applying 1 % CSB combined with 200 mg N/kg of nitrate consistently produced maximum biomass (129.65 g/pot) compared to 100 mg N/kg of nitrate and 1 % PSB combined with 100 and 200 mg N/kg of nitrate. The exchangeable Al³⁺ mainly responsible for exchangeable acidity was decreased with the application of biochars and nitrate fertilizer. A highly significant negative relationship was observed between soil exchangeable Al³⁺ and plant biomass (r ²?=?0.88, P?<?0.05).

Conclusions

The biochars in combination with nitrate fertilizer are cost-effective options to effectively reduce soil acidity and improve crop growth on sustainable basis.

     

Use of agricultural by-products to study the pH effects in an acid tea garden soil

The amelioration of an acid Alfisol from a tea garden was studied by incorporating various plant materials: canola straw, wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw, soybean straw, peanut straw, faba bean straw, Chinese milk vetch shoot and pea straw prior to incubation for a maximum of 65 days. Soil pH increased after incubation with all the incorporated materials with the legumes causing the largest increases. The final soil pH was correlated with ash alkalinity ( r ² = 0.73), base cations ( r ² = 0.74) and N content ( r ² = 0.93) of the applied materials. It was assumed that the incubation released the base cations in plant materials as they decomposed which ultimately increased the base cation saturation of the soil. Similarly, soil exchangeable Al was also decreased with the incorporation of the legume plant materials and corn straw and rice straw. Our investigation demonstrated that legumes are the preferred choice for controlling the soil acidity and also for reducing the toxicity of Al in acid soils.     

The amelioration effects of low temperature biochar generated from nine crop residues on an acidic Ultisol

Biochar was prepared using a low temperature pyrolysis method from nine plant materials including non‐leguminous straw from canola, wheat, corn, rice and rice hull and leguminous straw from soybean, peanut, faba bean and mung bean. Soil pH increased during incubation of the soil with all nine biochar samples added at 10 g/kg. The biochar from legume materials resulted in greater increases in soil pH than from non‐legume materials. The addition of biochar also increased exchangeable base cations, effective cation exchange capacity, and base saturation, whereas soil exchangeable Al and exchangeable acidity decreased as expected. The liming effects of the biochar samples on soil acidity correlated with alkalinity with a close linear correlation between soil pH and biochar alkalinity (R² = 0.95). Therefore, biochar alkalinity is a key factor in controlling the liming effect on acid soils. The incorporation of biochar from crop residues, especially from leguminous plants, can both correct soil acidity and improve soil fertility.     

Influence of nitrogen fertilizer forms and crop straw biochars on soil exchange properties and maize growth on an acidic Ultisol

Effects of repeated application of urea (UN) and calcium nitrate (CN) singly and together with crop straw biochars on soil acidity and maize growth were investigated with greenhouse pot experiments for two consecutive seasons. Canola straw biochar (CB), peanut straw biochar (PB) and wheat straw biochar (WB) were applied at 1% of dried soil weight in the first season. N fertilizers were applied at 200 mg N kg^?1. In UN treatments, an initial rise in pH was subjected to proton consumption through urea hydrolysis, afterwards nitrification of NH₄⁺ caused drastic reductions in pH as single UN had soil pH of 3.70, even lower than control (4.27) after the 2nd crop season. Post-harvest soil analyses indicated that soil pH, soil exchangeable acidity, NH₄⁺, NO₃^? and total base cations showed highly significant variation under N and biochar types (P < 0.05). Articulated growth of plants under combined application with biochars was expressed by 22.7%, 22.5%, and 35.7% higher root and 25.6%, 23.8%, and 35.9% higher shoot biomass by CB, PB and WB combined with CN over UN, respectively. Therefore, CN combined with biochars is a better choice to correct soil acidity and improve maize growth than UN combined with biochars.     

通过调节土壤氮素转化提高有机物料对红壤酸度的改良效果

通过培养试验,比较研究了油菜秸秆、稻草、香樟叶和豌豆秸秆单独施用以及油菜秸秆、稻草和香樟叶与豌豆秸秆混合施用对红壤酸度的改良效果。结果表明,在60天培养期内,添加4种物料均提高了土壤pH。培养试验结束时香樟叶、油菜秸秆、豌豆秸秆和稻草分别使土壤pH相对对照增加0.53、0.42、0.30和0.26。对于灰化碱含量很高的非豆科物料如香樟,其对土壤酸度的改良效果主要来源于物料所含碱性物质和物料对土壤硝化反应的抑制,但对灰化碱含量较低的非豆科物料如油菜秸秆和稻草,其改良效果主要来源于后者。豆科类豌豆秸秆主要通过所含碱性物质和有机氮矿化提高土壤pH,但培养试验后期铵态氮硝化反应释放的质子抵消了其部分改良效果。将油菜秸秆、稻草和香樟叶与豌豆秸秆配合施用,使硝化反应受到一定程度的抑制,提高了物料对土壤酸度的改良效果。培养试验结束时,香樟叶、稻草和油菜秸秆与豌豆秸秆配合施用比豌豆秸秆单独施用土壤pH分别高0.25、0.18和0.12。研究发现,香樟叶灰化碱含量很高,无论单独施用,还是与豌豆秸秆配合施用均有很好的改良效果,因此在南方地区推广种植香樟可以通过其凋落物修复酸化的森林土壤。
