During the last years, biochar (BC) from various organic wastes and its application to soil to improve soil properties have been a very common treatment in agricultural soils. While many studies have been conducted on the effects of biochar on the improvement of alkaline soils, studies on acid soils are limited. An incubation experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of poultry litter biochar (PLBC) on acidic soil properties and C mineralization. Biochar derived from poultry litter (PLBC) through slow pyrolysis was mixed with soil in three different doses (0, 2, and 5%) and subjected to a 120-day incubation period. pH increased from 4.38 to 5.31 at the end of the incubation. Electrical conductivity (EC) values also increased. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reached its maximum on the 30th day of the incubation in control and with PLBC applied to the soil. PLBC increased the organic matter (OM) content of the soil. Values were 3.51%, 4.70%, 6.27% for control, PLBC 2% and 5% treatments, respectively. PLBC does have an increasing negative priming effect on the carbon (C) mineralization of the soil. Particulate organic matter (POM) increased the storage of organic carbon (OC) in the POM fraction for both PLBC applications. It is revealed that PLBC showed soil conditioning effect as well as C storage in the soil. This study was on the short-term incubation under controlled conditions, varying results would be obtained in field conditions.

Son yıllarda, çeşitli organik atıklardan biyokömür (BC) elde edilmesi ve tarım topraklarının özelliklerini iyileştirmek amacıyla kullanılması çok yaygın bir uygulama haline gelmiştir. Biyokömürün alkali toprakların iyileştirilmesinde kullanılması üzerine birçok araştırma bulunmasına rağmen, asidik topraklara olan etkisi ile ilgili çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle, kanatlı altlığı biyokömürünün (PLBC) asidik bir toprağın özelliklerine ve karbon (C) mineralizasyonuna etkilerini araştırmak için bir inkübasyon denemesi yürütülmüştür. Toprak örneklerine ağırlık esasına göre 0 (kontrol), %2 ve %5 oranlarında kanatlı altlığı biyokömürü (PLBC) ilave edilerek 27 °C'de 30 günlük sürelerle 120 gün süre inkübasyona bırakılmıştır. Toprak pH'sı PLBC uygulaması ile inkübasyon süresi sonunda 4.38'den 5.31'e yükselmiştir. Elektriksel iletkenlik (EC) değerlerinde de artış olmuştur. Kontrol ve PLBC uygulanan toprak örneklerinin her biri için inkübasyonun 30. gününde karbon dioksit (CO2) emisyonu maksimuma ulaşmıştır. PLBC toprağın organik madde içeriğini önemli ölçüde arttırmıştır. Değerler kontrol, %2 ve %5 için sırasıyla %3.51, %4.70, %6.27 düzeyinde bulunmuştur. PLBC uygulaması toprağın C mineralizasyonu üzerinde artan bir negatif etki göstermiştir. Partikül organik madde (POM) değerleri PLBC uygulamalarının organik karbon depolanmasını arttırdığını göstermiştir. PLBC uygulamalarının toprakta karbon depolamasının yanı sıra toprak düzenleyici etkisi gösterdiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Kontrollü koşullar altında kısa süreli bir inkübasyon çalışması ile elde edilen bu sonuçların sera ve arazi çalışmaları ile desteklenmesi daha faydalı olacaktır.
