Liu et al. (2024): Improving soil carbon sequestration stability in Siraitia grosvenorii farmland through co-application of rice straw and its biochar

Xuehui Liu, Yu Yang, Yaqi Xie, Yicheng Zeng, Lening Hu, Ke Li IN: Frontiers in Plant Science, 15, doi: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1470486

This study was designed to investigate the impact of different return-to-field methods of rice straw on the transformation between different carbon components in the soil of Siraitia grosvenorii fields. The authors hypothesize that rice straw and its biochar, as soil amendments, can influence the transformation and cycling of different carbon components in the soil of S. grosvenorii fields through various return-tofield methods. Rice straw, rice straw biochar, and “rice straw + rice straw biochar” were applied as additives in a 2-year field experiment.

Baumann et al. (2023): Counteracting effects of nutrient composition (Si:N) on export flux under artificial upwelling

Moritz Baumann, Silvan U. Goldenberg, Jan Taucher, Mar Fernández-Méndez, Joaquin Ortiz, Jacqueline Haussmann and Ulf Riebesell IN: Front. Mar. Sci., Sec. Marine Biogeochemistry 10; doi: 10.3389/fmars.2023.1181351

Ocean artificial upwelling of nutrient-rich water stimulates primary productivity and could enhance the biological carbon pump for natural CO2 removal. Its potential may depend on the Si availability in the upwelled water, which regulates the abundance of diatoms that are key carbon exporters. In a mesocosm experiment, we tested the effect of nutrient composition (Si relative to N) in artificially upwelled waters on export quantity and quality in a subtropical oligotrophic environment.
