Biochar influences the succession of microbial communities and the metabolic functions during rice straw composting with pig manure

Abstract

The present study determined the dynamic changes of bacterial community structures and its metabolism functions in rice straw composting process with different types of biochar addition. Results showed that both wheat and maize straw biochar addition greatly increased the temperatures and germination index. Biochar addition influenced microbial community structure and metabolic characteristics of the compost. Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla throughout the process, and both biochar addition significantly increased the relative abundance of Actinobacteria phylum, especially genus Saccharomonospora. The abundance of bacterial genes related to amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and energy metabolism were also increased with biochar addition. Moreover, total nitrogen was strongly affected by biochar addition and had the greatest influence on the bacterial community structure. These results indicated that biochar addition improved the maturity and fertility of the compost product as well as significantly regulated the microbial community structure and functions during composting process.

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.
