Water regimes strongly impact soil C and N cycling and the associated greenhouse gases (GHGs, i.e., CO, CH and NO).

Several studies have been carried out to examine nitrous oxide (NO) emissions from agricultural soils in the past. However, the emissions of NO particularly during amelioration of acidic soils have been rarely studied. We carried out the present study using a rice-rapeseed rotation soil (pH 5.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a lab experiment, dolomite was applied to two different acidic soils, significantly increasing soil pH and resulting in higher CO emissions, particularly at the highest dolomite dose.
  • * The increase in CO emissions was linked to higher levels of dissolved organic carbon and microbial biomass in the soils, indicating that microbial activity was boosted by the presence of dolomite rather than direct chemical reactions.
