Abstract Conversion of rice straw into biochar for soil amendment appears to be a promising method increase long-term carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The stability in paddy soil, which is the major determining factor effect, depends mainly on properties plant functions. However, influence plants remains unclear. In this study, bulk surface characteristics biochars incubated without were compared with those using suite analytical techniques. Results showed that...
Agricultural soils accumulate inorganic contaminants from the application of phosphate fertilisers. An airstrip located at Belmont Regional Park (BRP), near Wellington, New Zealand, has been found to have a gradient cadmium contamination due spillage superphosphate fertiliser. Soil samples BRP with contamination, were used as novel source explore bacterial communities' resistance heavy metals (HMs) and any co-selected antibiotic (Ab) resistance. Differences between soil higher levels HMs...
Accumulation of trace elements (including heavy metals) in soil from usage superphosphate fertilisers induces resistance bacteria to environmental concern (TEoEC) and may co-select for antibiotics (Ab). This study aimed investigate selection co-resistance Cd, Zn Hg, Ab soils with varied management histories. Genetic diversity these horizontal transfer Cd genes (cadA czcA) were also investigated. Soils either pastoral arable histories high levels Zn, or indigenous bush background TEoEC the...
A holistic approach was followed for utilizing tetracyclines (TCs)-contaminated pig manure, by composting this with rice straw in a greenhouse CO2 fertilization and composted residue application. After composting, the residues can be applied to cropland as supplemental source of synthetic fertilizers. The objective study determine effect manure-rice on degradation TCs manure. results showed that significantly accelerated TCs. Contents (150 mg·kg−1) oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC)...
Although sewage effluent application to land is a common approach recycle water and provide nutrients plants, bioactive pharmaceuticals contained in may change soil quality by affecting microbial communities. Establishing causal effects, however, difficult, because trace levels of are confounded with other constituents. Therefore, two originally similar communities, one irrigated situ for 12 years another nonirrigated, were exposed high acetaminophen, aspirin, carbamazepine, chlorpromazine,...
The effect of soil erosion on New Zealand production forestry is not well known and there has been no research prior to our study into the relationship between nutrient status planted forests growing in eroded soils steeplands. impact by mass movement forest productivity was investigated a paired plot trial mainly hilly steepland catchment (Pakuratahi) near Napier, eastern North Island, Zealand. Tree growth form were measured properties analysed compare drivers adjacent non-eroded plots....
Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soil following the application superphosphate fertilisers seems to induce resistance bacteria HMs and appears co-select for antibiotics (Ab). This study aimed investigate selection co-resistance Ab uncontaminated incubated 6 weeks at 25 °C laboratory microcosms spiked with ranges concentrations cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) mercury (Hg). Co-selection HM was assessed using plate culture on media a range concentrations, pollution-induced community...
