Effect of Carbon and Nitrogen Addition on Soil Physical Properties in Rainfed Farmland
A 4-year field trial was conducted at the Rained Agricultural Experimental Station of Gansu Agricultural University in the Loess Plateau of central Gansu Province. Experimental treatments of carbon (C) addition sources included straw
biochar and no C addition
and each C treatment was combined with three nitrogen (N) addition levels
0
50 and 100 kg/hm2 respectively. The experimental set-up was a randomized complete block design with three replications. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different C sources and different N levels on soil bulk density
total porosity
soil saturated hydraulic conductivity
soil aggregate stability and crop yield. The soils were sampled at three layers (0-5
5-10 and 10-30 cm) per plot. The results showed that compared with no Caddition treatments
application of biochar or straw increased soil total porosity
reduce bulk density
especially biochar addition
it had significant effects on reducing bulk density and increasing soil total porosity at all three observed depths
the effects of straw addition
however
was observed at 0-5 cm layer. Both straw and biochar could significantly improve soil saturated hydraulic conductivity
but the effect of biochar addition was greater than that of straw addition plots. Among observed layers
in comparison with no C addition plots
both biochar addition and straw addition could enhance the amount of soil mechanical stable aggregates and MWD significantly
and the effect of biochar addition was greater than that of straw. The amount of soil water stable aggregates and MWD were increased more significantly in biochar addition soils than those in no C addition and straw addition treatments. Hence
both biochar and straw treated soils improved soil physical properties
and biochar showed the greatest effects. The effects of biochar
straw and nitrogen on crop yield were significant
but biochar was the best
especially biochar 15 t/hm2 + nitrogen 100 kg/hm2. As a whole
biochar addition was proposed for the sustainable agricultural development in the Loess Plateau of central Gansu Province.
