Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of low phosphorus (P) availability and serious leaching in saline-alkaline paddy soil of Yellow River Delta, the effects of biochar and modified biochar addition on soil P availability and P leaching risk were investigated by field experiments. There were four treatments: (1) control, CK; (2) conventional fertilization, NPK; (3) conventional fertilization + straw source biochar 8000 kg/hm2; (4) conventional fertilization + straw source iron modified biochar 8000 kg/hm2. The results showed that, compared with NPK treatment, the content of total P was significantly increased with the addition of biochar and modified biochar, and the content of available P increased by more than 41%. Soil P content decreased with the increase of soil depth, and the soil total P content was the lowest in 60-80 cm soil in modified biochar added treatment. Meanwhile, soil metal oxides, soil organic carbon and dissolution organic carbon were positively correlated with soil total P, available P and water-soluble P, indicating that soil P, metal oxides and organic matter may co-migrate in soil profile. Soil P saturation decreased after the addition of modified biochar, which further indicated that the addition of modified biochar reduced the risk of soil P leaching. Therefore, biochar especially modified biochar, plays an important role in increasing soil P availability and reducing soil P leaching in the Yellow River Delta.
