“…In this study, addition of CaCO 3 ensured a high soil pH and low extractability of micronutrients (see Section 3.1)-the typical properties of calcareous soils (Marschner 1995). High pH and CaCO 3 content induce immobilisation of many metals in soil (Bashir et al 2019). Cucumber is a Siaccumulating dicot species with high induction of strategy I responses, including a high rate of rhizosphere acidification (Dell'Orto et al 2013;Liang et al 2015).…”

“…Calcium carbonate buffers the soil solution pH at 7.5-8.5 and affects soil properties related to plant growth, including the availability of mineral nutrients and nutritional imbalance between nutrients (Marschner 1995). In different soils, metal concentrations were negatively associated with concentrations of CaCO 3 , which can bind metals (Bashir et al 2019). A low solubility of micronutrients, such as Fe, Zn and manganese (Mn) at moderate and high pH, induces micronutrient deficiency, which has been recognised as the most common disorder of calcareous soils (Alloway 2008;Rengel 2015).…”

This study aimed to determine the capacity of monosilicic acid [Si(OH) 4 ] to mitigate nutritional and metabolic disorders in plants induced by high levels of soil calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), which raises soil pH and lowers solubility of soil micronutrients. Plants (Cucumis sativus L.) were grown in a soil with increasing rates of Si(OH) 4 at two CaCO 3 doses. Biometrical parameters, leaf chlorophyll and leaf and stem nutrients as well as leaf metabolic responses, using a metabolomics approach, were evaluated. Additionally, extractable Si and Si plant availability were examined. Manifestations of Si-induced effects in cucumber were highly CaCO 3-dependent. In the-CaCO 3 plants, Si(OH) 4 addition induced distinct plant-beneficial effects, such as enhanced transport of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) to stems and/or leaves, accompanied with enhanced leaf abundance of metabolites (αtocopherol, galactinol, threonic and ferulic acids) potentially involved in plant defence mechanisms against diverse environmental stresses. Biostimulant activity of Si(OH) 4 was not evident in plants grown in the CaCO 3-treated soil, characterized by reduced extractability and bioavailability of Si, compared with the untreated soils. The low physiological effectiveness of Si(OH) 4 on the CaCO 3-treated soil is likely due to a significant decrease in plant availability of Si, against a background of drastic plant performance impairment at high pH values induced by CaCO 3 excess.

“…The increase in anthropogenic activities including industrial and mining activities, urbanization, use of chemicals in agriculture has potentially increased the concentration of toxic elements in soil throughout the globe [27]. Moreover, wastewater mishandling also contributes to heavy metal contamination and induces toxic effects on plant metabolic activities, soil environment, groundwater, and ultimately human health [28]. One of the most toxic trace elements is chromium (Cr).…”

Plant growth stimulators (growth regulators + biostimulants; PGS) are chemical substances (organic/inorganic), helpful in plant growth and development. These are not considered as the replacement of fertilizers but can help in improved crop and soil quality. Both compounds can amplify the root biomass, nutrients translocation, enzymatic activities, crop yield, physiology, and nutrient uptake. Biostimulants are rich in minerals, vitamins, plant hormones, oligosaccharides, and amino acids. These compounds have a serious role to improve soil health, fertility, sorption, and desorption of nutrients. Hence, have a vital character in nutrients cycling, abiotic stress control, heavy metals bioavailability, and greenhouse gaseous emission. This chapter focuses on the discussions about the influence of plant growth regulators and biostimulants in crop production, soil health, heavy metal cycling, greenhouse gases emission with environmental sustainability. Whereas, the impact of biostimulants on greenhouse gases is a research gap.

“…These soils exhibit low soil aggregation and can, therefore, be subjected easily to wind erosion [6]. Moreover, secondary minerals may dominate in such soils like calcite and gypsum [1], and these minerals can significantly diminish soil fertility [7,8]. Another important threat that faces agricultural sustainability in arid sand semiarid soils is soil salinity [9].…”

Applications of Biochar for Environmental Safety

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced from the pyrolysis of organic biomasses in the absence of oxygen or under low-oxygen conditions. Biochar has received a great interest during the last few decades due to its beneficial roles for carbon dioxide capturing and soil fertility improvement. However, applications of biochar in arid soils are very limited, and there is a lack of knowledge on practical aspects of adding biochar to arid soils. In this chapter, we will focus on biochar applications in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia soils as an example of arid soils. These soils are characterized by several marks, i.e., high soil pH, sand structures, high CaCO 3 contents, and low soil fertility. In addition, the unsuccessful recycling practices of agricultural and food wastes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are also discussed. This chapter provides an overview of current biochar knowledge pertinent to its application to arid soils, summarizes what is known so far about biochar and its applications in arid regions, and demonstrates the possible strategies that can be used for enhancing the practices of biochar addition to these soils.
