Soil acidification improvement in the main grain production regions of southern China is an important issue to enhance the quality of cultivated land and promote grain yield. In order to explore the effects of oyster shell powder and lime on acidity and availability and inorganic forms of phosphorus in acidic paddy soil, a pot experiment was performed using oyster shell powder and lime amendments with dosages of 0.05%, 0.

The treatments included control (CK), rice straw (R1B0), rice straw biochar prepared at 350℃ (R1B1) and 550℃ (R1B2), rape stalk (R2B0), and rape stalk biochar prepared at 350℃ (R2B1) and 550℃ (R2B2). Straw at 1% and corresponding biochar were added to a strongly acidic red soil.

Five types of biochars-rice straw biochar (RSB), maize straw biochar (MSB), wheat straw biochar (WSB), rice husk biochar (RHB), and bamboo charcoal (BCB)-were applied to farmland soil at mass fraction of 0.1%.
