Potential of Co2 emission reductions by carbonizing biomass waste from industrial tree plantation in South Sumatra,Indonesia

Approximately half of the carbon in trees can be fixed to charcoal by carbonization. Porous charcoal is useful as a soil amendment for crop fields and forests, and also as a water purifying agent. Given these facts, charcoal production should be recognized as one of the most promising CO₂ sequestration methods. A project on biomass utilization and forest conservation is proposed as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project, by incorporating the carbonization of biomass residue and waste from tree plantations and pulp mills, and also the utilization of carbon products in various fields. A feasibility study was conducted with the existing project of an industrial tree plantation and pulp production in Indonesia. If conventional charcoal-making methods are used, a total of 368,000 t yr^-1 of biomass residue and waste could be transformed into charcoal of77,000 t yr^-1, and the carbon emission reductions by the project reaches 62,000t-C yr^-1 (or 230,000 t-CO₂yr^-1) in consideration of the project baseline. This charcoal project could provide jobs for approximately 2,600people. The soil fertility in man-made forests could be maintained by returning charcoal to the original forests. Therefore, the project would be beneficial to the regional economy. In addition, the present charcoal project is expected to give more positive impacts than negative ones, or leakage, beyond the project boundary.

Baseline Carbon Stocks Assessment and Projection of Future Carbon Benefits of a Carbon Sequestration Project in East Timor

Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental problems humanity is facing today. Forest ecosystems serve as a source or sink of greenhouse gases, primarily CO₂. With support from the Canadian Climate Change Fund, the Community-based Natural Resource Management for Carbon Sequestration project in East Timor (CBNRM-ET) was implemented to “maintain carbon (C) stocks and increase C sequestration through the development of community-based resource management systems that will simultaneously improve livelihood security”. Project sites were in the Laclubar and Remexio Sub-districts of the Laclo watershed. The objective of this study was to quantify baseline C stocks and sequestration benefits of project components (reforestation with fast-growing species, primarily Casuarina equisetifolia, and agroforestry involving integration of Paraserianthes falcataria). Field measurements show that mature stands (≥30 years) of P. falcataria and C. equisetifolia contain up to 200 Mg C ha⁻¹ in above ground biomass, indicating the vast potential of project sites to sequester carbon. Baseline C stocks in above ground biomass were very low in both Laclubar (6.2 Mg C ha⁻¹ for reforestation sites and 5.2 Mg C ha⁻¹ for agroforestry sites and Remexio (3.0 Mg C ha⁻¹ for reforestation and 2.5 Mg C ha⁻¹ for agroforestry). Baseline soil organic C levels were much higher reaching up to 160 Mg C ha⁻¹ in Laclubar and 70 Mg C ha⁻¹ in Remexio. For the next 25 years, it is projected that 137 671 Mg C and 84 621 Mg C will be sequestered under high- and low C stock scenarios, respectively.     

生物质炭对双季稻水稻土微生物生物量碳、氮及可溶性有机碳氮的影响

生物质炭可影响土壤微生物量,但生物质炭对双季稻田土壤微生物生物量碳、氮(MBC、MBN)及可溶性有机碳、氮(DOC、DON)的影响还不清楚.基于此,本研究选取亚热带2种典型双季稻田土壤(花岗岩母质发育的水稻土S1和第四纪红壤发育的水稻土S2)作为研究对象,开展室内培养试验来研究不施氮肥条件下生物质炭添加对土壤微生物生物量碳、氮及可溶性有机碳、氮的影响.每种土壤设置3个小麦秸秆生物质炭添加量,即土重的0%、1%和2%,分别用CK、LB和HB表示.培养70 d后,2种水稻土的MBC均值:S1为877. 03、832. 11和849. 30 mg·kg~(-1),S2为902. 94、874. 19和883. 22mg·kg~(-1). S1+LB、S1+HB和S2+LB均显著降低了土壤MBC均值(P 0. 05),这可能是由生物质炭吸附土壤有机碳及其他有机物,阻碍了微生物的生长而造成的. S1土壤中低生物质炭添加量较对照显著降低了土壤MBN均值(P 0. 05),降幅达9. 45%.生物质炭对S1土壤MBC/MBN均值影响不明显,但LB降低了S2土壤MBC/MBN均值(P 0. 05).由于生物质炭本身含有部分可溶性有机碳及其高p H值,添加到2种水稻土中均增加了土壤DOC均值,增幅分别达4. 42%～22. 20%和10. 57%～35. 47%.但生物质炭(除S2+HB处理)显著降低了土壤DON均值,这可能归因于生物质炭对土壤有机氮的吸附作用及生物质炭本身有机碳分解过程中对N的消耗作用.生物质炭显著增加了2种水稻土的DOC/DON均值,且随着生物质炭添加量的增加而增加.综上所述,在双季稻田土壤中单施生物质炭虽然可增加土壤可溶性有机碳,但对土壤微生物量有一定的降低作用,且会加重土壤氮亏缺状况.因此,在亚热带双季稻田中生物质炭应与化肥等配合施用.     

生物质炭和秸秆配合施用对土壤有机碳转化的影响

为探讨生物质炭和秸秆碳输入对土壤碳构成和转化的影响,通过室内培养试验,研究了单施生物质炭、秸秆及两者配合施入下土壤二氧化碳的释放特征以及土壤微生物碳和有机碳的变化.结果表明,秸秆有机碳在土壤中的矿化率为21.50%(2%添加水平),远大于等量生物质炭的矿化率(8.09%);施用等量(占4%土重)生物质炭和秸秆,培养200 d后土壤有机碳含量分别为24.40 g·kg~(-1)、17.40 g·kg~(-1),表明生物质炭对有机碳的提升作用大于秸秆的.施用生物质炭对土壤固有有机碳有一定的保护作用,生物质炭与秸秆配合施用促进了秸秆的矿化,对有机碳矿化影响的交互效应为正值.施用秸秆能大幅度增加土壤微生物碳,而生物质炭对土壤微生物碳影响小;秸秆和生物质炭配合也增加了土壤微生物碳,但其交互效应与培养时间、施用量等有关,可正可负.     

矿山复垦区女贞人工林生态系统碳的源汇效应

采用LI-8100土壤碳通量测定系统,测定了淮南大通煤矿塌陷复垦区女贞人工林土壤碳排放动态,并结合生物量调查,建立相对生长模型,对复垦区女贞林生态系统碳的源汇效应及其特征进行了研究。结果表明:复垦区女贞林生态系统年生物量碳增量为7.72 t/(hm~2·a),其中乔木层占81.22%,林下植被占4.02%,枯死掉落物占14.76%;乔木层生物量碳年增量大小顺序依次为树干树枝树根树叶,在乔木层中所占的比例依次为54.7%、22.37%、16.9%、6.06%;女贞林生态系统年净生态系统生产力NEP值为1.87 t/(hm~2·a),表明复垦区女贞林生态系统整体表现为碳汇,其中乔木层对碳汇的贡献率占77.54%。     

A Simulation of Temporal and Spatial Variations in Carbon at Landscape Level: A Case Study for Lake Abitibi Model Forest in Ontario,Canada

Using a case study of the Lake Abitibi Model Forest (LAMF), this study aims to assess the temporal and spatial variability in carbon storage during 1990–2000, and to present a comprehensive estimation of the carbon budget for LAMF's ecosystems. As well, it provided the information needed by local forest managers to develop ecological and carbon-based indicators and monitor the sustainability of forest ecosystems. Temporal and spatial carbon dynamics were simulated at the landscape level using ecosystem model TRIPLEX1.0 and Geographical Information System (GIS). The simulated net primary productivity (NPP) and carbon storage in forest biomass and soil were compared with field data and results from other studies for Canada's boreal forests. The results show that simulated NPP ranged from 3.26 to 3.34 tC ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ in the 1990s and was consistent with the range measured during the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Studies (BOREAS) in central Canada. Modeled NPP was also compared with the estimation from remote sensing data. The density of total above-and belowground biomass was 125.3, 111.8, and 106.5 tC ha⁻¹ for black spruce, trembling aspen, and jack pine in the LAMF ecosystem, respectively. The total carbon density of forested land was estimated at 154.4 tC ha⁻¹ with the proportion of 4:6 for total biomass and soil. The analysis of net carbon balance of ecosystem suggested that the LAMF forest ecosystem was acting as a carbon sink with an allowable harvest in the 1990s.     

Bio-char Sequestration in Terrestrial Ecosystems – A Review

The application of bio-char (charcoal or biomass-derived black carbon (C)) to soil is proposed as a novel approach to establish a significant, long-term, sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in terrestrial ecosystems. Apart from positive effects in both reducing emissions and increasing the sequestration of greenhouse gases, the production of bio-char and its application to soil will deliver immediate benefits through improved soil fertility and increased crop production. Conversion of biomass C to bio-char C leads to sequestration of about 50% of the initial C compared to the low amounts retained after burning (3%) and biological decomposition (< 10–20% after 5–10 years), therefore yielding more stable soil C than burning or direct land application of biomass. This efficiency of C conversion of biomass to bio-char is highly dependent on the type of feedstock, but is not significantly affected by the pyrolysis temperature (within 350–500 ^∘C common for pyrolysis). Existing slash-and-burn systems cause significant degradation of soil and release of greenhouse gases and opportunies may exist to enhance this system by conversion to slash-and-char systems. Our global analysis revealed that up to 12% of the total anthropogenic C emissions by land use change (0.21 Pg C) can be off-set annually in soil, if slash-and-burn is replaced by slash-and-char. Agricultural and forestry wastes such as forest residues, mill residues, field crop residues, or urban wastes add a conservatively estimated 0.16 Pg C yr⁻¹. Biofuel production using modern biomass can produce a bio-char by-product through pyrolysis which results in 30.6 kg C sequestration for each GJ of energy produced. Using published projections of the use of renewable fuels in the year 2100, bio-char sequestration could amount to 5.5–9.5 Pg C yr⁻¹ if this demand for energy was met through pyrolysis, which would exceed current emissions from fossil fuels (5.4 Pg C yr⁻¹). Bio-char soil management systems can deliver tradable C emissions reduction, and C sequestered is easily accountable, and verifiable.     

CO2泡沫混凝土碳封存潜力分析

CO₂捕集、利用与封存是碳中和技术体系的重要组成部分,混凝土在大规模吸收CO₂方面具有巨大的发展潜力.为了掌握CO₂泡沫混凝土的碳封存潜力,分析了CO₂泡沫混凝土的固碳机制,建立了CO₂泡沫混凝土固碳能力的数学模型,估算了CO₂泡沫混凝土的固碳和储碳能力.结果表明,CO₂泡沫混凝土碳封存能力的99%以上是由混凝土骨架的化学碳化方式完成的,而泡孔的储碳能力较弱;按照30%碳化率估算,我国每年生产的混凝土在全生命周期内的碳封存量平均为2.18亿t,超过大兴安岭林区森林1 a的碳汇;近5年,我国CO₂泡沫混凝土的碳封存潜力为5.80亿t ·a^-1,在煤电一体化矿区的固废和废气资源化利用方面具有很好的应用前景.CO₂泡沫混凝土在凝固前的稳定性是下一步要重点解决的技术难题.     

生物炭对塿土土壤温室气体及土壤理化性质的影响

通过田间小区试验,分别向塿土土壤中添加0、20、40、60、80 t·hm~(-2)的苹果果树枝条生物炭后,分析了生物炭对土壤温度、土壤团聚体、NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N、微生物量碳以及土壤温室气体排放的影响.结果表明,生物炭可以缓解土壤温度的变化,增加土壤大团聚体的数量,尤其是5 mm、5~2 mm和1~0.5 mm的团聚体数量.与对照相比,随着生物炭施用量的增加,土壤NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N、微生物量碳分别增加了4.9%~33.9%、9.1%~41.1%和11.8%~38.5%.本研究中生物炭对土壤温室气排放的影响主要表现为:添加生物炭后,土壤CO_2的排放量以及CH_4的吸收汇分别增加了6.73%~23.35%和3.62%~14.17%;施用20 t·hm~(-2)和40 t·hm~(-2)的生物炭降低了土壤N_2O的排放和综合增温潜势(GWP),而当生物炭施用量大于等于60 t·hm~(-2)时反而增加了土壤N_2O的排放和综合增温潜势(GWP).说明生物炭作为一种土壤改良剂和碳减排剂,能够改善土壤质量,提高土壤肥力,提高农田土壤增汇减排的作用,此外,选择合适的生物炭施用量至关重要.     

Net Ecosystem Production of Boreal Larch Ecosystems on the Yenisei Transect

The study was carried out in the Turukhansk Research Station of Yenisei Transect (65^°46^′N, 89^°25^′E). Larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.) is the dominant overstory tree species. The research has been conducted on four permanent test plots in same-age mature (110-year old) and overmature (380-year old) post-fire larch stands of green moss and lichen groups of forest type. Carbon cycle parameters were assessed based on a biometric method. Quantitative analysis of carbon pools and fluxes shows that net ecosystem production of north taiga larch stands averages 32% of net primary production. Sink of atmospheric CO₂ makes 1.22 and 0.74 t C ha^{− 1} year^{− 1} for mature and overmature green moss larch stands, and 0.65 and 0.35 t C ha^{− 1} year^{− 1} for lichen type. Net carbon sink in the tree layer make up 9% of net primary production carbon, ground vegetation – 15%, and dead plant residues accumulation – 8% of atmospheric carbon uptake via photosynthesis.     

生物炭对农田土壤CO2排放的影响研究进展

生物炭是生物质在缺氧或者限氧条件下经热解后产生的富碳产物。目前,生物炭被广泛应用于农业生产领域,可改善土壤质量,提高农田土壤碳汇。生物炭还田后,使土壤物理、化学和生物学等性质发生变化进而影响土壤CO₂的排放。本文从生物炭理化特性、土壤性质以及生物炭稳定性等角度综述生物炭对土壤CO₂排放的影响。主要内容包括不同炭化温度和生物质来源的生物炭特性(pH、比表面积、孔径、挥发分和灰分等)及其对土壤CO₂排放的影响;生物炭还田土壤特性变化及其对土壤CO₂排放的影响;生物炭稳定性及其对土壤CO₂排放的影响。本文基于以上三个方面综述了生物炭对农田土壤CO₂排放的影响,并在此基础上对生物炭的固碳减排效应进行展望,以期为生物炭的合理施用、农田固碳减排等提供基础和参考。     

Carbon storage versus fossil fuel substitution: a climate change mitigation option for two different land use categories based on short and long rotation forestry in India

Short rotation bioenergy crops for energy production are considered an effective means to mitigate the greenhouse effect, mainly due to their ability to substitute fossil fuels. Alternatively, carbon can be sequestered and stored in the living biomass. This paper compares the two land use categories (forest land and non-forest land) for two management practices (short rotation vs. long rotation) to study mitigation potential of afforestation and fossil fuel substitution as compared to carbon storage. Significant carbon benefit can be obtained in the long run from using lands for growing short rotation energy crops and substituting fossil fuels by the biomass thus produced, as opposed to sequestering carbon in the biomass of the trees. When growth rates are high and harvest is used in a sustainable manner (i.e., replanting after every harvest), the opportunities for net carbon reductions appear to be fossil fuel substitution, rather than storage in ecosystem biomass. Our results suggest that at year 100 a total of 216 Mg C ha⁻¹ is sequestered for afforestation/reforestation using long rotation sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn.f) species, as opposed to offset of 412 Mg C ha⁻¹ for carbon storage and fossil fuel substitution for short rotation poplar (Populus Deltoides Marsh) plantations. The bioenergy option results in a continuous stream of about 3 Mg C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ of carbon benefits per year on forest land and 4 Mg C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ on non-forest land. Earlier studies have shown that in India waste land availability for establishing energy plantations is in the range of 9.6 to 36.5 Mha. Thus, using the 758 Tg biomass per year generated from 9.6 Mha waste land gives a mitigation potential in the range of 227 to 303 Tg C per year for carbon storage and fossil fuel substitution from poplar plantation for substituting coal based power generation. Depending upon the land availability for plantation, the potential for energy generation is in the range of 11,370 PJ, possibly amounting to a bioenergy supply of 43% of the total projected energy consumption in 2015. Further studies are needed to estimate the mitigation potential of other species with different productivities for overall estimation of the economic feasibility and social acceptability in a tropical country like India.     

土壤矿物质-可溶态生物炭的交互作用及其对碳稳定性的影响

将生物质转化为生物炭并输入土壤被认为是一种很有前景的碳封存技术.生物炭颗粒在土壤中会不断释放出可溶态生物炭,这部分生物炭不稳定,易被微生物分解.探明土壤组分矿物质对可溶态生物炭稳定性的影响对评估生物炭的碳封存作用具有重要意义.因此,本文以核桃壳生物炭为研究对象,通过批次吸附实验及微生物降解实验研究了2种代表性土壤矿物质高岭土和针铁矿与核桃壳生物炭可溶有机组分的结合机理,以及这种结合作用对可溶态生物炭稳定性的影响.结果表明:低浓度(如20 mg·L-1)可溶态生物炭条件下,高岭土与可溶态生物炭之间以Ca2+架桥作用为主,约占吸附总量的65%;高浓度(如80 mg·L-1)条件下,以范德华力为主,约占吸附总量的76%.随着可溶态生物炭初始浓度的升高,针铁矿对其吸附量先升高后下降,且以范德华力为主,Ca2+会抑制针铁矿对可溶态生物炭的吸附.被矿物质吸附后的可溶态生物炭,其微生物降解性显著下降,可降解的碳下降了47.9%~85.3%,土壤矿物质能够吸附保护可溶态生物炭,提高其在土壤中的稳定性.     

生物炭输入对城郊农业区农田地表反照率及土壤呼吸的影响

为了探究生物炭输入对地表反照率及土壤呼吸的影响,通过田间小区试验的方法,在不同生物炭用量[0（CK）、0.5 kg·（m²·a）^-1（BC0.5）、4.5 kg·（m²·a）^-1（BC4.5）]不同地表条件下[种植作物（以+表示）、裸地（以-表示）],对农田地表反照率、土壤温湿度、土壤CO₂排放通量、土壤有机碳组分等指标进行了测定分析.结果表明,在作物生长前期（玉米的苗期至拔节期、小麦苗期至越冬期）,BC4.5+、BC0.5+的地表反照率相较CK+处理均有显著下降（P<0.05）,小麦季最大降幅分别为23.7%、17.9%,玉米季最大降幅分别为44.5%、44.9%.随叶面积指数增加,地表反照率在3个处理间的差异随之逐渐消失,作物覆盖可有效缓解生物炭输入导致的地表反照率的降低效应;裸地条件下,生物炭处理的地表反照率较对照处理在全部的观测中均有显著下降（P<0.05）;生物炭在输入初期可显著增加土壤CO₂释放量（P<0.05）,但其增幅随时间逐渐减小,其中BC4.5+较CK+的增幅从276.7%逐步降低至36.1%,BC4.5-较CK-的增幅从163.5%明显减弱至39.8%.生物炭处理较对照处理增加的CO₂释放量主要来自生物炭-土壤共存体系中的易分解碳组分,其土壤CO₂释放通量与土壤水溶性有机碳含量呈显著相关（P<0.05）;生物炭输入导致的地表反照率变化未对土壤呼吸产生直接的影响,而且生物炭输入可降低土壤呼吸温度敏感性Q10值,表明生物炭具有一定的化学和生物学稳定性.     

Soil Carbon in the Forests of Russia

The 50% variation in the estimates of carbon (C) content in the forest soils of Russia at present is caused by confusion of terms and ignorance of the soil geographical representativeness in forests. The GIS-based analysis closes the gap to the estimate published earlier by Alexeyev and Birdsey (1994, p. 170). The average soil carbon density (SCD) for the 0.3 meter (m) layer of the forest soils in Russia is about 8.1 kg C m⁻²; the 1 m layer captures some 11.4 kg C m⁻²; and the 2 m layer holds nearly 12.3 kg C m^{− 2}. The mass of C is about 61.6 Pg C concentrated in the 0.3 m layer of forest soils; the 1 m layer accumulates 87.6 Pg C and the 2 m layer holds about 94.1 Pg C. The C content in soils of the forest zone is much higher for Russia. The SCD is 18.8 kg C m^{− 2} and the soil C pool (SCP) is 223.6 Pg C in 1 m layer. Peat soils contribute a considerable portion of C to the forest zone of the country. The cold climate, permafrost and vegetation residues that are rich in recalcitrant compounds support a high accumulation rate of organic matter and associated nutrients in soils. This conservation is a mechanism to keep the production potential of the boreal ecosystems high in spite of their relatively low actual productivity in present environments.     

施用生物炭对云南烟区红壤团聚体组成及有机碳分布的影响

生物炭是一种重要的土壤改良剂,为深入研究其对云南烟区红壤团聚体组成及有机碳分布的作用,开展了为期3年的生物炭田间定位试验.试验共设3个处理,分别为常规施肥(B0)、常规施肥配施生物炭15 t·hm-2(B15)、常规施肥配施生物炭30 t·hm-2(B30).结果表明:1随着生物炭施用年限和施用量的增加,土壤有机碳含量显著增加,B15和B30处理较对照(B0)分别增加了38.7%和60.1%;2施用生物炭显著提高了土壤各粒级团聚体有机碳含量,其中B30处理增幅最大.在不同粒级团聚体中0.25~2 mm团聚体有机碳含量增幅最大,与对照相比,B15和B30处理分别增加了24.9%和36.4%;3施炭处理(B15,B30)土壤团聚体平均重量直径(MWD)、几何平均直径(GMD)和大于0.25 mm团聚体数量(R0.25)也较对照显著增加,表明土壤团聚体稳定性显著提高;4连续施用生物炭3年后,大团聚体有机碳的贡献率明显升高,而微团聚体则相反.综上所述,生物炭对土壤团聚体和有机碳的作用过程是持续的,连续施用生物炭可显著提升土壤大团聚体含量、团聚体稳定性、土壤和各粒级团聚体的有机碳含量,在改善土壤物理性状的同时,有利于稳定增加土壤碳汇.     

秸秆及配施工农业废弃物对茉莉种植园碳排放的影响

废弃物的农业资源化是当前研究的热点之一,但将其应用于环境效应评价还鲜见报道.通过实验测定,探讨了秸秆及秸秆分别配施石膏渣、生物炭、炉渣对福州茉莉园碳排放及其综合增温潜势的影响.结果表明:与对照相比,施加秸秆CH_4排放通量提高了20.05%;与秸秆处理相比,秸秆配施石膏渣和秸秆配施生物炭不同程度地提高了CH_4排放通量,而秸秆配施炉渣的CH_4排放通量则有所降低.与对照相比,施加秸秆CO_2排放通量提高了30.45%;与秸秆处理相比,秸秆配施石膏渣提高了CO_2排放通量,而秸秆配施生物炭和秸秆配施炉渣的CO_2排放通量均有所降低.CO_2对茉莉园碳排放和综合增温潜势贡献较大,碳排放和综合增温潜势均表现为秸秆配施石膏渣秸秆秸秆配施生物炭秸秆配施炉渣对照,秸秆处理的碳排放和增温潜势较对照分别提高了30.42%和30.18%,秸秆配施石膏渣较秸秆处理提高了碳排放和综合增温潜势,而秸秆配施生物炭和秸秆配施炉渣的碳排放和综合增温潜势均有所降低.从温室气体综合增温潜势来看,秸秆配施生物炭或炉渣可作为茉莉园固碳减排的有效配套措施.     

Simulated dynamics of carbon stocks driven by changes in land use, management and climate in a tropical moist ecosystem of Ghana

Sub-Saharan Africa is large and diverse with regions of food insecurity and high vulnerability to climate change. This project quantifies carbon stocks and fluxes in the humid forest zone of Ghana, as a part of an assessment in West Africa. The General Ensemble biogeochemical Modeling System (GEMS) was used to simulate the responses of natural and managed systems to projected scenarios of changes in climate, land use and cover, and nitrogen fertilization in the Assin district of Ghana. Model inputs included historical land use and cover data, historical climate records and projected climate changes, and national management inventories. Our results show that deforestation for crop production led to a loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) by 33% from 1900 to 2000. The results also show that the trend of carbon emissions from cropland in the 20th century will continue through the 21st century and will be increased under the projected warming and drying scenarios. Nitrogen (N) fertilization in agricultural systems could offset SOC loss by 6% with 30 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ and by 11% with 60 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. To increase N fertilizer input would be one of the vital adaptive measures to ensure food security and maintain agricultural sustainability through the 21st century.     

窄孔径含磷棉秆生物质炭的制备及对四环素的吸附机制

以棉秆为生物质原料,磷酸为改性剂,一步碳化制备了兼具高比表面积(1 916 m²·g^-1)和孔体积(1.398 2 mL·g^-1)的窄孔径含磷棉秆生物质炭(CSP),并研究了其对四环素(TC)的吸附行为.结果表明,磷酸改性制备的窄孔径含磷棉秆生物质炭对TC吸附量高达669mg·g^-1,是未改性棉秆炭的43.6倍;红外光谱(FTIR)、 X射线(XPS)和等温吸附研究表明,CSP对TC的高吸附量是表面络合、氢键、孔隙填充和π-π色散等多种吸附力共同作用的结果,其中磷酸改性赋予的高活性磷酸酯类基团(P—O—C)与TC分子间的化学络合作用强且贡献度高,是吸附量显著提升的最关键因素.静态等温吸附与热力学研究结果进一步证实TC在含磷棉秆炭吸附过程中化学吸附起主要作用,吸附过程属于自发的吸热过程.研究结果可为利用棉秆资源定向制备高效吸附TC的高活性磷掺杂生物质炭提供了一种潜在的简便高效途径.     

Transformation of Organic Matter of the Larch Forest Soils in the Northern Taiga of Nizhne-Tungusskoe Plateau, Central Siberia

The evaluation of biospheric role of the boreal forests in the accumulation of carbon is connected with the evaluation of organic matter (OM) pool in soils. The research sites were larch forests, they are situated on Nizhne-Tungusskoe Plateau. Larch forests of feather-moss and lichen types (110 and 380 years old) were formed on 'ochric podbur' soils. Litter stocks are 3.5–4.5 kg m^{− 2} with thickness 10–25 cm. Cryomezomorphic northern taiga soils contains 38–73 t (carbon) ha^{− 1}. Pool of fast mineralized OM has average value 38.1 t (carbon) ha^{− 1}, including 20.5 and 6.4 t (Carbon) ha^{− 1} of labile compounds on surface and in the soil, and 11.2 t (carbon) ha^{− 1} of mobile OM. Microbial mass reaches 1.78–3.47 t (carbon) ha^{− 1}, its proportion is 3.6–4.9% of the total OM carbon. Zoomass of feather-moss larch forest is 0.20–0.61 * 10^{− 2}, in lichen larch forest −0.01–0.07 * 10^{− 2} t (carbon) ha^{− 1}. A pool of resistant to biological decomposition and bonded to mineral soil matrix OM is 17.7 t (carbon) ha^{− 1} and it varies from 18.6 to 29.0 in feather-moss larch forest, and from 6.4 to 17.0 t (carbon) ha^{− 1} in lichen larch forest. Two-years field experiment has been performed to determine transformation rates of various plant litter fractions and to clarify the role of soil biota in these processes. The results showed participation of all biota groups in the decomposition of plant residues caused weight loss of larch-needles and root mortmass. Isolation of organic matter from all-size invertebrate groups leads to some decrease of decomposition activity.
