Properties of anthropogenic soils in ancient run-off capturing agricultural terraces in the Central Negev desert (Israel) and related effects of biochar and ash on crop growth
Background and aims In the Central Negev hills (Israel) many ancient terraced wadis exist, which captured runoff and caused gradual soil aggradation, which enabled agricultural practices. In these terraces, dark colored soil horizons were observed, containing charcoal, as can be found in Terra Preta...

| description | Background and aims In the Central Negev hills (Israel) many ancient terraced wadis exist, which captured runoff and caused gradual soil aggradation, which enabled agricultural practices. In these terraces, dark colored soil horizons were observed, containing charcoal, as can be found in Terra Preta soils, suggesting higher fertility compared to natural soils. The aim of our investigation was to investigate these anthropogenic soils and to study the effects of charcoal and ash addition on soil properties and crop growth. Methods We investigated 12 soil profiles, focusing on possible differences between light and dark colored soil horizons. We also investigated the effects of amendment of charcoal and ash on the growth of wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) in a 40-day pot experiment involving two water regimes. Results Results show that charcoal content in light and dark horizons were both low ( |
