2018-9-5 · The negative priming effect of biochar on the mineralization of SOC was mainly observed after 15 days of incubation and increased with incubation time. The negative effects of BB and RH were significantly stronger than that of PS at the 5 application ratio. This was mainly due to the less pores and smaller specific surface area of PS which
When root growth was excluded only 7 and 3 of the biochar carbon added was decomposed after 245 and 164 days in Italy and United Kingdom sites respectively. In the presence of roots this percentage was increased to 9 and 8 suggesting a small positive priming effect of roots on biochar
2015-11-24 · studies have shown a positive priming effect in the first 2 to 3 months (Farrell et al. 2013) which decreased to either negligible or negative priming over time (Zhu et al. 2014). Biochar application can improve the soil fertility of acidic soil or rapidly lower the nutrient concentra-
2015-9-1 · However the presence of biochar in soil can induce either a positive or negative priming effect on native soil C or the converse which may either reduce or enhance the C storage potential of biochar. Thus far priming effects between soil and biochar have been predominately assessed in the exclusion of plants. Therefore this study set out with the aim to assess the priming effect of plants i.e. rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) in the presence and absence of biochar
2018-11-6 · The present study assesses the stability of biochar its effect on original soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and the interactions with plant roots over a 3-year period in a short rotation coppice plantation in Northern Italy. Biochar produced from gasification of maize silage (δ13C of biochar ≈ − 13.8‰) was applied into the soil of the plantation (δ13C of SOM ≈ −23.5‰).
This suggests a positive priming effect of roots on biochar decomposition. On the other hand a decreased decomposition rate of original SOM after soil biochar addition (-10 and -14 at Italian and UK site respectively) was observed suggesting a protective effect of biochar on SOM. In
2017-2-2 · Biochar has been widely proposed to be valuable in the sequestering of carbon (C) in soil due to its chemical and biological recalcitrance. However whether biochar could cause soil positive priming effects (PEs) which offset the effects of soil organic C sequestration has raised a very controversial issue and debate recently. Changed soil properties like microbial community composition
2018-4-2 · Combined application of manure and biochar resulted in decreased mineralization of SOC (negative priming effect Fig. 2) relative to the sum of the sole applications of manure and biochar. The calculated negative priming effect ranged from − 4.0 to − 35 corresponding to 17–173 mg less C mineralization after 56 days of incubation.
2020-10-21 · Nevertheless the interactive effect of biochar treatment and seed priming on drought stress tolerance has never been reported. Therefore the present study was performed to investigate the effect of seed priming and biochar on cowpea performance and to unravel the mechanism of osmopriming and biochar-induced drought tolerance in cowpea.
2020-12-10 · pact the priming effect of biochar relative to laboratory in-cubations (Ventura et al. 2019). Long-term field studies on biochar are needed to better understand the potential priming effects of biochar on soil C stocks as well as its interactions with available N in the soils (Chen et al. 2014).
2018-4-2 · Combined application of manure and biochar resulted in decreased mineralization of SOC (negative priming effect Fig. 2) relative to the sum of the sole applications of manure and biochar. The calculated negative priming effect ranged from − 4.0 to − 35 corresponding to 17–173 mg less C mineralization after 56 days of incubation.
2017-3-1 · Based on a review study of the 650 data points from 18 studies of biochar induced priming effects the most positive priming effect occurred in the first 20 days while negative priming appeared in a later stage (Maestrini et al. 2014b). This might indicate that the initial loss of primed C following biochar incorporation would be compensated by greater C stabilization in the long term.
2020-10-21 · Nevertheless the interactive effect of biochar treatment and seed priming on drought stress tolerance has never been reported. Therefore the present study was performed to investigate the effect of seed priming and biochar on cowpea performance and to unravel the mechanism of osmopriming and biochar-induced drought tolerance in cowpea.
2015-4-9 · Biochar-induced priming effect. The second dataset was used for the meta-analysis to evaluate the response of biochar-induced priming effect on SOM decomposition. Averaged across all studies biochar addition induced a negative priming effect but this effect was not statistically significant (overall mean = −3.8 95 CI = −8.1–0.8 Fig
Biochar has the potential to store carbon (C) in soils on a millennial time scale and hence it is proposed as a tool to aid in the mitigation of climate change. However the presence of biochar in soil can induce either a positive or negative priming effect on native soil C or the converse which may either reduce or enhance the C storage potential of biochar.
and 3 of the carbon originally added by biochar was decomposed in Italy and UK respectively. In the presence of roots this percentage has increased to 9 and 8 suggesting a positive priming effect of roots on biochar de-composition. On the other hand a decreased decomposition rate of original SOM was observed at both sites after
Biochar is considered as an attractive tool for long-term carbon (C) storage in soil. However there is limited knowledge about the effect of labile organic matter (LOM) on biochar-C mineralization in soil or the vice versa. An incubation experiment (20 °C) was conducted for 120 days to quantify the

An experiment was conducted in Iran during 2016-17 to evaluate the effect of biochar and seed priming with salicylic acid and water along with foliar application on physiological traits and oil yield of safflower. Treatments include biochar (wood shoot and leaf of trees) in three levels of 0 5 and 10 t/ha seed priming in three levels without priming priming with distilled water and seed
2020-5-21 · Based on a meta-analysis biochar induces positive priming effect on SOC mineralisation mostly on a short-term scale whereas negative priming effect occurs on a long-term scale with increasing intensity (Maestrini et al. 2015).
The priming effect is the increase in soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition rate after the addition of fresh organic matter or other compounds to soil. The implication is that is biochar if addition leads to the loss of native SOM it negates the carbon benefit of adding biochar to soil. However there could also be potential benefits of

2019-12-21 · The total increase in C stocks in the biochar-amended plots was nearly twice (14.07 Mg soil C/ha) the amount of C added with biochar 6 years earlier (7.25 Mg biochar C/ha) suggesting a negative priming effect of biochar on formation and/or mineralization of native soil organic C. Dedicated bioenergy crops increased soil C concentration by 79
