Abstract

Biochar is an efficient amendment to improve soil quality and crop productivity, but the potential of biochar as a substitute for chemical fertilizers is still unknown. Here we conducted a 6-year field experiment to investigate how partial substitution of biochar to NPK fertilizers affect soil quality and rice yield in the northeast of China. The experiment included three treatments: Control (B0: NPK fertilizers only: 240 kg N ha -1 , 52 kg P ha -1 , and 100 kg K ha -1 ); Low-input biochar (B1.5: 95% N, 89% P, 75% K + 1.5 t biochar ha -1 year -1 ); and High-input biochar (B3.0: 90% N, 78% P, 50% K + 3.0 t biochar ha -1 year -1 ). The amounts of NPK application in the biochar treatments were determined according to an equivalent method. We evaluated the soil pore structure characteristics via a CT technology, and investigated soil nutrients, plant biomass, root growth, and grain yields. The results showed that, after the 6-year application, the soil pore structure and rice productivity of B1.5 were significantly improved in compared to those of B0 and B3.0. B1.5 had similar soil available NPK contents, but 6.6% higher rice yield as compared to B0, because of increased root length density (33.2%) and aboveground biomass (10.2%). B1.5 also increased soil macroporosity (>100 μm) (141.4%), fraction dimension (8.4%), and pore connectivity (16.6%) in compared with those of B0. However, B3.0 showed the lowest rice yield due to lower soil available N content (19.2%), macroporosity (28…

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.
