Abstract
Soil acidification in tea gardens has become an increasingly serious problem. In this study, we conducted an outdoor pot experiment to investigate the effects of pruned tea leaf biochar and cattle manure on soil acidification. We observed that amendments effectively increased soil pHBC, which increased 12.43%, 3.24%, 8.38%, 5.68% and 11.35% for BC, M, BCM1, BCM2 and BCM3. Exchangeable K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations increased after application of the amendments. Furthermore, the total exchangeable acidity concentration (EA) and the exchangeable Al3+ and H+ concentration (Al3+ and H+) decreased after application of amendments. In addition, pHBC showed a strong positive correlation with K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg3+ and cation exchange capacity and strong negative correlations with EA and Al3+. Moreover, EA and K+ were the primary factors influencing pHBC. The relationships among pHBC, EA and K+ can be expressed as a power function.
期刊介绍:
Soil Use and Management publishes in soil science, earth and environmental science, agricultural science, and engineering fields. The submitted papers should consider the underlying mechanisms governing the natural and anthropogenic processes which affect soil systems, and should inform policy makers and/or practitioners on the sustainable use and management of soil resources. Interdisciplinary studies, e.g. linking soil with climate change, biodiversity, global health, and the UN’s sustainable development goals, with strong novelty, wide implications, and unexpected outcomes are welcomed.
