摘要

Bauxite residue sand (BRS) is the primary growth medium for rehabilitating Alcoa's residue storage areas in south-west Western Australia. Successful revegetation of highly alkaline BRS can be hindered by its low nitrogen (N) use efficiency. Biochar, a carbon (C)-rich material, has been suggested to have the potential to improve water and nutrient retention in soil. However, little is still known about the effect of biochar amendment on N use efficiency in the alkaline BRS environment. This incubation study aimed to evaluate the impact of biochars with different characteristics on N retention and dynamics in BRS. The BRS (pH 9.5 after being pre-treated with 1% gypsum and leached with water) was amended with the acidic biochar (pH 3.86; AC, from wild fire) and alkaline biochars (pH 9.58-10.8; greenwaste, GW; Jarrah, JL; mallee, ML) at a rate of 10% (w/w). The N loss via NH3 volatilization was much lower from the AC treatment (24% of di-ammonia phosphate (DAP)-N added) than the alkaline biochars treatments (76-80% of the DAP-N added). The AC treatment can retain about 73% of N added to BRS, compared with <25% in alkaline biochar treatments. This can be attributed to the acidic nature and the greater NH4'-N sorption capacity arising from the presence of a high density of the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of acidic biochar as revealed by the FTIR spectroscopy. These results imply acidic biochar can be used as an effective amendment for increasing N use efficiency by plants growing in alkaline BRS. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
