Application of holm oak biochar alters dynamics of enzymatic and microbial activity in two contrasting Mediterranean soils
Original language description
The application of biochar in Mediterranean region has been considered a promising mean to enhance the soil quality and health. However, the results of previous studies are inconsistent and the effects of biochar on bio- logical activity seem to depend on the initial soil properties. To elucidate this relation, the evolution of microbial and enzymatic activity in two contrasting soils was evaluated in the course of 12 weeks of greenhouse incubation after biochar application and fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Biochar enhanced the ac- tivity of soil biota in an acid Acrisol as a result of soil pH neutralization which was observed as an increase of microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and soil basal respiration (SBR) during the initial six weeks of the incubation. On the other hand, in an alkaline Calcisol, the effect of biochar application on SBR and MBC was short-term(three weeks) and seemed to be related to the nitrogen availability.
