Influence of biochar produced from different pyrolysis temperature on nutrient retention and leaching
Abstract
Biochar application has been received much attention because biochar can improve the fertilizer utilization efficiency of soil. However, the effect of biochar produced at different temperature on the nutrient retention and leaching remains poorly understood. In this study, we observed the nutrients leaching from a sandy loam soil amended with biochar produced at different temperature. The properties of biochars produced from wheat straw at four contrasting pyrolysis temperatures (250, 350, 450, and 550°C) showed that increasing pyrolysis temperature increased pH value and specific surface area but reduced the electrical conductivity and cation exchange capacity. With the temperature increased, the nitrogen loss was significant decreased (p > 0.05) from 109.6 mg to 53.3 mg in biochar amended soil. However, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), available P, Na and K were significant increased (p > 0.05). These results demonstrate that the pyrolytic temperature has a great influence on biochar properties, which in turn affect the leaching of the available nutrients.

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.
