Nitrous oxide mitigation potential of biochar derived from agricultural and forest biomass: Effects of feedstock composition and pyrolysis temperature

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Biochar application to soil has been promoted to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet significant uncertainty exists in quantifying soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from biochar‐amended soils. We evaluated soil N2O emissions from soils amended with biochar prepared from diverse agricultural and forest ...

Phosphorus fractions status of representative agricultural fields in North Carolina

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Most agricultural soils in North Carolina have high levels of available phosphorus (P), yet little is known about other accumulated P fractions and their associated environmental risks. This study characterized soil P fractions through sequential chemical fractionation of 391 samples (0–10 cm and 10–20 cm) collected from 57 counties across ...

Investigations on the Identification of Long Term Input of Phosphorus from Organic Sources by Standard Soil P Analysis

open access: yesJournal für Kulturpflanzen, 2015
175 soil samples from pot and field experiments with different types of organic (farmyard manure, meat and bone meal, bone meal) and mineral fertilization were used to evaluate the potential of a method to estimate relative shares of soluble organic P in

Lucerne (Medicago sativa) or grass-clover as cut-and-carry fertilizers in organic agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
On-farm nitrogen fixation is a driving force in organic agriculture. The efficiency with which this nitrogen is used can be increased by using lucerne (Medicago sativa) or grass-clover directly as sources of fertilizer on arable land: cut-and-carry ...
