Effect of different soil amendments on soil buffering capacity

PLOS ONE, 2022
The buffering capacity of the soil is a very important property of the soil, which determines the ability of the soil to resist external influences, especially changes in pH and thus create good living conditions for plants and microorganisms in the soil. The buffering capacity thus significantly contributes to maintaining the health and quality of the

Evaluating the potential of hydrochar as a soil amendment

Waste Management, 2023
In this study, hydrochar (HC), a carbon-rich product originated from hydrothermal conversion treatment (HTC), was obtained from wastes of the wine and dairy industries. The effect of mixing secondary char and compost was tested, before and after the aerobic mixing of compost (COM) and HC at increasing doses (from 15 to 75 Mg ha-1 DM), in an effort to ...

Utilizing wood ash as a liming agent for the improvement of soil health and growth of bermudagrass

Frontiers in Soil Science
Wood ash is a common by-product of industrial timber and timber product production. It has been used as a soil amendment to increase pH for centuries; however, much of the current industry sends this byproduct to landfills. In this study, we investigated
