Divergent Impacts of Straw and Biochar on Organic Carbon Fraction Allocation and CO2 Emissions in Coastal Saline Soil
How homologous straw and biochar alter soil carbon fractions and associated microbial processes in coastal saline soils remains unclear. A 120-day microcosm experiment compared reed (Phragmites australis) straw and its biochar at equal mass rates of 1%, 5%, and 9% of dry soil mass. Both amendments increased the soil or...
