Spent coffee grounds as organic amendment modify hydraulic properties in a sandy loam Brazilian soil
Abstract
Abstract Soil physical and chemical properties can be amended by application of organic residues, such as spent coffee grounds (SCG). In this work we examined SCG effects on the modification of some soil physical-hydraulic properties, such as soil water retention and aeration, investigating beneficial uses for this waste product. Soil properties were evaluated using pots filled with a mixture of a sandy loam soil with the contents of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of SCG. The most relevant soil properties to the purposes were the moisture at container capacity (θcc), readily available water capacity (RAWC) and drainable porosity (ϕD). Additionally, under the hypothesis that SCG can be used as soil conditioner, lettuce crop, cultivar “Mimosa Roxa Roxanne”, was transplanted to the pots where the leaf area index and the cumulative biomass throughout the growing cycle were examined. Comparing to the absence of SCG (0%), soil SCG contents of 5, 10, 15 and 20% presented larger values of θcc and consequently larger RAWC and smaller ϕD. Although the increase of soil water storage from 43.2 (0%) to 53.3 (20%) mm, crop development was prejudiced by the reduction on ϕD from 0.1595 (0%) to 0.0827 (20%) m3 m−3, which affected soil aeration. This greater water availability, obtained with the increase of θcc, was promoted by the residue addition pointing out for a possible use of SCG to increase water retention for other crops.

“Growth inhibition by SCG has been attributed to the immobilization of nutrients in the soil by microbes (bacteria and fungi) as carbon and other SCG components are broken down, and to improved soil water retention that reduces water to roots and accelerates wilting [14,20,41,52].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
