The digestate is a prospective biofertilizer and potential source of income for many biogas plants worldwide. However, its actual impact on the soil properties biomass yield still unexploited. different digestates from eight agricultural were researched in terms their chemical composition fertilizing potential. results obtained analysis indicate that had large amount nitrogen (up to 73 g kg−1 fresh mass) potassium 25 mass). value was estimated range 2.88–7.89 EUR Mg−1 liquid 7.62–13.61 solid...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) content can greatly affect soil quality by determining and maintaining important functions. The study examined SOC, humic substances molecular composition characteristics of acid (Dystric Retisol) with different long term (54 years) fertilization in Western Lithuania. Farmyard manure (FYM 60 t ha−1) alternative fertilizers (wheat straw, green mass lupine oats, rape stubble straw) applied on the two backgrounds – limed. experimental design included following...
The aim of this study was to determine the effects pre-sowing seed treatment with cold plasma (CP) and an electromagnetic field (EMF) on agricultural performance two cultivars common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)—‘VB Vokiai’ ‘VB Nojai’. For this, CP EMF germination, plant growth in field, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production, yield, amount secondary metabolites minerals harvested seeds were estimated. Although percentage seedlings that emerged under conditions decreased by...
The most important component of agricultural system are soils as the basis for growth plants, accumulation water, plant nutrients and organic matter. main task our research was to ascertain changes in soil carbon (SOC) mobile humified fractions digestate-treated soils. We have performed three field experiments using same design on two types 2019–2020. studied fertilization effects different phases digestate Retisol Fluvisol. Fertilization treatments: control; separated liquid 85 kg ha−1 N;...
Lead (Pb) is a persistent and toxic heavy metal that threatens aquatic ecosystems. Wetlands act as natural filters, while beaver dams influence sediment deposition retention. This study investigates Pb fixation in wetland sediments by analyzing its spatial temporal variations, considering organic matter content composition. concentrations were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), processes assessed concentration coefficients relative to background values (15 µg g−1,...
Given the growth in number of biogas power plants and increase generation waste from energy production, it is relevant to study sustainable nature this waste. Digestate a product anaerobic digestion process, valuable bio-fertilizer containing organic matter nutrients necessary for agricultural plants’ growth. The showed that different rates liquid solid phases digestate influenced contents carbon nitrogen genetically young soil alluvial deposits—Fluvisol. application (SD) considerably...
There has not been enough research conducted on the effect of land use composition humus in Arenosols. This long-term study (1995–2022) aimed to determine differences formation humic compounds natural and agricultural ecosystems Soil samples were collected from six plots at two soil depths (0–15 15–25 cm), with four replicates. Conclusions reached based results accumulation substances (HSs) their qualitative fractional composition, C/N ratio, humification degree (HD), optical properties...
Agriculture has always resulted from available technology and the necessity to secure humanity’s food needs. In recent decades, a third factor been recognized in this system—the environment. For centuries, side effect of agricultural development environmental pollution uncontrolled use natural resources. New legislation is being introduced worldwide protect environment move towards sustainable economy. An example EU Green Deal, aimed at making Europe world’s first climate-neutral continent....
The importance of agricultural practices to greenhouse gas mitigation is examined worldwide. However, there no consensus on soil organic carbon (SOC) content and CO emissions as affected by management their relationships with texture. No-till (NT) agriculture often results in C gain, though, not always. Soil net exchange rate (NCER) environmental factors (SOC, temperature [T], water [W]), type (loam sandy loam), tillage (conventional, reduced, NT), fertilization, were quantified long-term...
The aim of the study is to determine changes in morphological, physical and chemical properties soils Lithuanian agroecosystems caused by their anthropogenic transformation.Summarized data on 33 soil profiles, 5 relatively natural mature forest 28 anthropogenically affected soils, investigated 2015-2018, are presented.The structure profile its variation, thickness Ah(p) horizon, bulk density total porosity, organic carbon content qualitative characteristics A horizon were examined.The showed...
Five different tillage systems were researched in a Cambisol of loam texture the long-term experiment: conventional ploughing at 22–24 cm (CT), shallow 16–18 (ShT), harrowing 8–10 (MT1), 14–16 (MT2), and no tilling (NT). The aim this study was to determine how inter-cropping influence accumulation distribution SOC (soil organic carbon) its compounds soil layers. content changed depending on system inter-crops used. Stratification ratios (SR) surface (0–10 cm) that 10–20 (SR1) 20–30 (SR2)...
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with size exclusion (SEC) separation function was used to isolate and examine the molecular mass (MM) distributions polydispersity of humic substances (HSs) dissolved organic matter (DOM) from mineral soils peats. The aim improve their detailed characterisation inform soil carbon (C) sequestration environmental quality. This is first study conducted in Lithuania which HSs DOM, separated two types, have been characterise at level. HPLC-SEC, as a...
Nowadays the priority in agriculture is given to soil tillage systems which enable reduction of organic matter decomposition.Our investigation was aimed assess long-term impact reduced intensity systems, straw and green manure combinations on quantity quality.Since 1999, a field experiment has been done at Experimental Station Aleksandras Stulginskis University (former Lithuanian Agriculture) 54º52′50′′ N latitude 23º49′41′′ E longitude.The results presented this paper were obtained 12 th 14...
Investigations on phosphorus (P) distribution in a naturally acid and limed moraine loam, Bathypogleyic Dystric Glossic Retisol were conducted site of long-term experiment at the Vėžaičiai Branch Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture Forestry 2008 2011.The aim present study was to determine different forms fractions soil long time (62 years).During this amounts (18.4 104.9 t ha -1 ) lime materials incorporated into affected formation two pH KCl levels -acidic (5.6) near neutral...

Abstract Several soil organic matter (SOM) methodologies have been employed to analyze a suite of subsampled soils, and their results correlated. This will permit future comparison the large archive SOM databases, which widely exist in Lithuania other Central Eastern European countries, with those international countries. Samples were collected (n=92) from topsoil subsoil horizons Eutric Glassoboralfs (Eutric Albeluvisols) at five long‐term monitoring sites (three 8 years' duration two 20...
