Abstract
ABSTRACT Biosolid-borne heavy metals are the main concern in soils. Therefore, the effects of biosolid biochar application in soils were evaluated in our study through a rice-wheat rotation in fields. The results showed that after the application of biosolid biochar, soil organic matter (SOM), soil pH, and soil total heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb) were significantly increased. But the CaCl2 extracted metals concentrations were decreased, and no significant differences in metal concentrations of soil deeper layers (20–100 cm) were found among different treatments. The Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb concentrations in rice decreased by 13.2%, 37.0%, 9.92%, and 63.0%, respectively, and the concentrations of Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb in wheat decreased by 20.85%, 19.7%, 48.6%, and 23.6%, respectively, compared with the control treatment. Biosolid biochar can decrease metal availability in soils and increase crop production in fields, thus is suggested to use in fields.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollutants & Bioavailability is a peer-reviewed open access forum for insights on the chemical aspects of pollutants in the environment and biota, and their impacts on the uptake of the substances by living organisms.
Topics include the occurrence, distribution, transport, transformation, transfer, fate, and effects of environmental pollutants, as well as their impact on living organisms. Substances of interests include heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, as well as pharmaceuticals and personal-care products as pollutants.
