Effect of biochar on chemical properties of acidic soil

R Chintala, J Mollinedo, TE Schumacher… - Archives of Agronomy …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
The effect of biochar addition on the chemical properties of acidic soil such as soil pH,
electrical conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and exchangeable acidity were …

Phosphorus sorption and availability from biochars and soil/B iochar mixtures

R Chintala, TE Schumacher… - CLEAN–Soil, Air …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
In an energy‐limited world, biomass may be converted to energy products through pyrolysis.
A byproduct of this process is biochar. A better understanding is needed of the sorption …

Quantifying tillage erosion rates due to moldboard plowing

MJ Lindstrom, WW Nelson, TE Schumacher - Soil and Tillage Research, 1992 - Elsevier
Tillage erosion, the movement of soil downslope by mechanical implements, has been
recognized as a problem, but primarily in a qualitative manner. This study was initiated to quantify …

Nitrate sorption and desorption in biochars from fast pyrolysis

R Chintala, J Mollinedo, TE Schumacher… - Microporous and …, 2013 - Elsevier
Increasing the nitrate ( NO 3 - ) sorption capacity of Midwestern US soils has the potential to
reduce nitrate leaching to ground water and reduce the extent of the hypoxia zone in the …

The role of severe storms in soil erosion: a problem needing consideration

…, MJ Lindstrom, TE Schumacher - Journal of Soil and Water …, 1997 - jswconline.org
The prediction of soil erosion and the design of conservation management practices for the
control of erosion are based on long-term average precipitation patterns. However, soil …

Molecular characterization of biochars and their influence on microbiological properties of soil

R Chintala, TE Schumacher, S Kumar, DD Malo… - Journal of Hazardous …, 2014 - Elsevier
The tentative connection between the biochar surface chemical properties and their influence
on microbially mediated mineralization of C, N, and S with the help of enzymes is not well …

Soil landscape evolution due to soil redistribution by tillage: a new conceptual model of soil catena evolution in agricultural landscapes

S De Alba, M Lindstrom, TE Schumacher, DD Malo - Catena, 2004 - Elsevier
This paper focuses on analysing tillage as a mechanism for the transformation of soil spatial
variability, soil morphology, superficial soil properties and development of soil–landscape …

Soil microbial properties under permanent grass, conventional tillage, and no-till management in South Dakota

…, PD Stahl, MJ Lindstrom, TE Schumacher - Soil and Tillage …, 2003 - Elsevier
The objective of this study was to determine how no-till and conventional tillage affected
microbial properties of soil quality, using permanent grass fields as a standard of local high-…

Long-term cultivation impacts on selected soil properties in the northern Great Plains

DD Malo, TE Schumacher, JJ Doolittle - Soil and tillage research, 2005 - Elsevier
Long-term cultivation impacts soil properties. During the early 1920s a study comparing non-cultivated
