Effect of soil amendments on soil respiration in the midland agroecological environment, Ethiopia
The effects of soil amendments on soil respiration (SR) rate have not yet been fully evaluated. In the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia, we investigated seasonal variations in SR rates between and within soil amendments. We set up 24 plots with 8 treatments—polyacrylamide (PAM), gypsum (G), biochar (...

Zusammenfassung: | The effects of soil amendments on soil respiration (SR) rate have not yet been fully evaluated. In the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia, we investigated seasonal variations in SR rates between and within soil amendments. We set up 24 plots with 8 treatments—polyacrylamide (PAM), gypsum (G), biochar (B), lime (L), control (C), PAM + L, PAM + G, and PAM + B—in 3 replicates. Soil temperature, moisture, and SR data were collected monthly. Data were evaluated by paired
t
-test and nonparametric repeated-measures ANOVA. The SR rates were significantly lower (
