主 题:Earthworm Biochar addition Nitrous oxide Functional genes Burrowing activity
摘 要:Biochar addition has been widely used in the field to mitigate soil nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)emissions,and can be considered as a potential method to reduce N_(2)O emissions during ***,excessive biochar addition may inhibit earthworms’***,it is crucial to clarify the optimum addition volumes of biochar during *** study evaluated the impact of addition of various amounts of biochar(0,5,10,15,20 and 25%of total amount of feedstock)on earthworms’(Eisenia fetida)activity,N_(2)O emission and compost quality during *** with the treatment without biochar added,5%of biochar application significantly increased earthworm total biomass(from 177.5 to 202.2 g pot^(−1)),and cumulative burrowing activity(from 47.0%to 52.2%pixel per terrarium).The increased earthworms activity stimulated the vermicomposting process and led to the best quality of compost,which showed the highest total nutrient content(5.38%)and a significantly higher germination percentage of seeds(88%).Although N_(2)O emissions were slightly increased by 5%biochar addition,a nonsignificant difference was found between the treatment with 5%biochar and the treatment without biochar *** the contrary,20%and 25%biochar addition not only lowered N_(2)O emissions,but also significantly decreased the quality of *** results suggest that 5%biochar application is an appropriate amount to improve the quality of compost without significant N_(2)O emissions.
