Regulation Effects of Biochar on the Biological Characteristics and Nutrient Availability of Dryland Soils
The effects of biochar application on the microbial community
enzyme activity and soil nutrient availability in dryland soils of central Guizhou were studied through pot experiment. The results showed that after applying 5%~15% (biochar/soil mass ratio) biochar to different types of dryland soils
the number of fungi
actinomycetes
bacteria and nitrifying bacteria
ammoniated bacteria and the activity of phosphatase
catalase and urease in yellow soil and yellow sand soil increased obviously
especially in yellow sand soil. The number of actinomycetes
fungi and nitrifying bacteria in the lime soil
as well as the activity of phosphatase and catalase increased significantly
but the number of ammoniated bacteria and urease activity decreased significantly. In addition
the content of available N
P
K
Ca
Mg and B in yellow soil and yellow sand soil increased in different degrees
but the content of available Fe
Mn
Cu and Zn decreased in different degrees. The content of available P
K
Fe
Mn
Cu and B in the lime soil increased in different degrees
but the available N
Ca
Mg and Zn in the lime soil decreased in different degrees. The content of available Zn in these three dryland soils all decreased obviously after applying biochar. The application of 5%~15% biochar in yellow soil
yellow sand soil and lime soil could obviously increase the yield of cabbage and lettuce
of which the yellow sand soil applied with biochar was the best in increasing yield
followed by lime soil. There were significant differences in the changes of soil available nutrients among different types of dryland soils after applying biochar. When applying biochar
a certain proportion of nitrogen
phosphorus
potassium and appropriate amount of trace element fertilizers should be used according to soil characteristics
