Han et al. (2024): Carbon sequestration potential of biochar in soil from the perspective of organic carbon structural modification
Lanfang Han, Cuiling Lu, Liying Chen, Fayuan Wang, Qi’ang Chen, Kuo Gao, Yuanyuan Yu, Chao Xu IN: Applied Soil Ecology, 198, 105389, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsoil.2024.105389
While there has been extensive research on the priming effect of biochar on the mineralization of native soil organic carbon (nSOC), its correlation with soil organic carbon (SOC) structural variations remains poorly understood. A series of incubation experiments with soils amended with biochar prepared at 300 °C, 450 °C, and 600 °C were performed to explore the shifts in nSOC structure and reveal the interconnections among soil properties, SOC structural variation, and the priming effect induced by biochar.
