简介：Biochar是生物资源热分解获得并且考虑了碳隐遁的一个平均数的一个充满碳的产品。在这研究，从食物与农业科学的学院的农场的沙的石灰质的土壤，绍德国王大学，沙特阿拉伯，与也被修改Conocarpus直立的L的木质的废物。(CW)或biochar(BC)以0的率(控制)从CW生产了，10，30和50gkg−1。土壤pH，溶解的器官的碳(文档)，微生物引起的生物资源碳(MBC)，公司2排放和新陈代谢的商上的修正案的效果(沙的石灰质的土壤的qCO2)在一个60-d孵化实验被学习。结果证明CW的增加与控制和BC的增加相比在土壤pH导致了重要减少。公司2-C排放率比孵化时间什么时候进行在孵化的开始几天内是更高的。特别以更高的率，从与CW修改的土壤的累积公司2-C排放更高(近似到6褶层的3-)与BC从控制和土壤比那修改了。修改BC的土壤证明因为与非修改的土壤，而是累积公司2-C的增加相比排放不在孵化的60d以后是重要的，公司2-C排放的重要增加在孵化的第一天期间评价。在另一方面，CW应用比控制和BC应用导致了更加更高累积的公司2-C排放，MBC和文档。与0白天的异常(在孵化的1h以后)，导致的CW和BC应用程序作为与控制相比降低qCO2的值。力量功能运动模型令人满意地描述了累积公司2-C排放。通常，公司2排放的最低价值与BC在土壤被观察，建议到公司2排放的BC的贡献作为与CW的相比很小。
