Urea fertilizer applications to calcareous soils can result in significant nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric (NO) emissions, predominantly via nitrification rather than denitrification. To address this, we explored several mitigation strategies based on improved urea management a rainfed winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop during two consecutive cropping seasons with contrasting rainfall quantities distribution. The investigated included the split application of at top dressing, use...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the pattern nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and methane (CH 4 ) fluxes, leaching losses nitrate (NO 3 − dissolved organic C (DOC), during a fallow–onion crop–fallow cycle in Mediterranean area. importance fallow (intercrop) period type fertilizer were also evaluated. Goat chicken manure (M) from an farm, digested pig slurry (DPS) urea (U) applied at rate 110 kg N ha −1 compared with zero treatment (Control). crop contributed more than each total O emission...
Fire is a major factor controlling global carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. While direct C N losses caused by combustion have been comparably well established, important knowledge gaps remain on postfire losses. Here, we quantified both as gaseous (N2 O, NO N2 ) leaching after high-intensity experimental fire in an old shrubland central Spain. Combustion of were 9.4 Mg C/ha 129 kg N/ha, respectively, representing 66% 58% initial aboveground vegetation litter stocks. Moreover, strongly...
Abstract Surface drip fertigation has demonstrated promising results regarding the mitigation of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. The use subsurface irrigation may offer possibility reducing these emissions further due to modification soil moisture profile and N allocation, both which affect biochemical processes leading O fluxes. However, potential combined with different mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers (ammonium or nitrate-based, nitrification inhibitors) still needs be evaluated. To...
Summary Drip‐fertigated systems have variable distributions of water and nutrients in the soil, which influence soil microbial activity. Because there is a lack data on greenhouse gas ( GHG ) fluxes for these systems, field experiment comparing drip irrigation (fertigated non‐fertigated) was carried out melon crop. For fertigated treatment, nitrogen N as NH 4 NO 3 dissolved split into six applications F ertigation treatment). In non‐fertigated ANS treatment), granular incorporated...
The use of highly effective sources zinc (Zn) in alkaline agricultural soils is essential to achieve crop biofortification, maintain quality, and avoid potential environmental risks. This research examines the efficacy environmentally friendly Zn complexes (citric acid, CIT glycine, GLY) compared a traditional source (ZnSO4) for lettuce cultivation soil. effectiveness was assessed based on concentration total soluble Zn, plant biomass, contents photosynthetic pigments. soil status also...
The increase in pig production is a key factor the fight against climate change. main problem amount of slurry which causes environmental problems, therefore optimal management needed. This consists an anaerobic digestion process biogas produced and subsequent upgrading produces biomethane. In this study, comparison different biomethane systems completed order to determine optimum for each farm, determining that conventional can be used on farms with more than 11,000 pigs and, smaller...
Wastes from spent batteries are a secondary source of raw materials. To ensure this, it is mandatory to design sustainable and low-cost processes. In the case alkaline zinc–carbon-based batteries, high content Zn Mn makes them interest in development fertilizers. The main objective this research study fertilizers production zinc-based using sulfuric acid, citric acid (CIT) glycine (GLY) solutions as leaching agents. Leaching with at pHs shows selectivity over Mn, whereas use leads recoveries...
