“…The plants provided primary bio-solids and showed 0.44% more N as compared to secondary bio-solid plants. Ca concentration in primary bio-solid plants was 7.96% more than the secondary plant [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…Numerous studies on the chemical composition of paper and pulp sludge implicate that it could be a rich source of organic matter (OM) and plant nutrients [6][7]. Paper mill biosolids contain several plant nutrients including N, P, potassium (K), Ca, and Mg, along with other inorganic ions.…”

“…Pulp and paper mill by-products have been used for amending agricultural soils and producing crops, including corn [10]. Sludge is rich in macro and Positive results/ Bio-crude production [12] micro-contaminants, making it suitable for agricultural use [7]. However, heavy metals, organic compounds, and human pathogens and other contaminants are also present, which should be considered when it is utilized in agricultural soils [2].…”

“…Other factors which have an impact on the yield of SRWC include planting density and harvest frequency [3,18], climatic conditions, and agricultural procedures [19][20][21]. When SRWC are grown on soils of poor quality, the type and dose of fertilizers used are of great importance [1,22], although some studies have shown the impact of this factor on the yield to be limited [23][24][25]. In the majority of studies, the effect of mineral fertilization has been compared to fertilization with animal manure or sludge, although there is limited data regarding the effect of soil enrichment by mycorrhizal inoculation or lignin on the productivity of SRWC compared to mineral fertilization.…”

Effect of Increased Soil Fertility on the Yield and Energy Value of Short-Rotation Woody Crops

et al. 2014

Biomass is produced as a feedstock for energy generation and industrial processes from short-rotation woody crop plantations in Europe, the USA, and Canada. This study determined the impact of soil enrichment on the survival rate, productivity, energy value, and yield of three species of crops grown on poor soil in a 4-year harvest rotation based on two factors: species (willow, poplar, and black locust) and fertilization (lignin, mineral fertilization, mycorrhiza inoculation, and their combination). The highest average yield was obtained from willow, followed by poplar and black locust. The highest yield in the entire experiment was for poplar with lignin combined with mineral fertilization (10.5 odt ha −1 year −1 ). Using lignin combined with mineral fertilizers increased the yield by 8-14 % compared to mineral fertilizers alone for willow and poplar and nearly doubled the black locust yield. The energy value of the yield ranged from 28.6 to 176.7 GJ ha −1 year −1 , respectively, for black locust grown on the control plot and for poplar grown with mineral fertilization combined with lignin.

“…19 A clear understanding of soil nutrient dynamics, particularly the soil nutrient budgets of 20 essential plant nutrients during the establishment phase, is required to accurately forecast the 21 sustainability of the SRC willow production system and the necessity of nutritional amendments. 22 Influential factors include the inherent soil fertility at a given site [76,89], genotypic variability in 23 nutrient requirements, uptake capacity, and/or utilization efficiency [2,121], and genotype × 24 environment interactions [11,49]. In order to account for these effects when developing reliable 25 nutrient budgets for SRC willow production in Saskatchewan, an experiment consisting of several 26 commercial willow varieties was replicated at different sites across a 500 km north-south gradient, 27 covering the range of soils and climate in the province.…”

First Rotation Biomass Production and Nutrient Cycling within Short-Rotation Coppice Willow Plantations in Saskatchewan, Canada

et al. 2014

Abstract:Although numerous studies have quantified different social, economic, energetic, and environmental benefits associated with short-rotation coppice (SRC) willow plantations, comprehensive assessments of nutrient cycling are rare. The objective of this study was to examine the biomass production and attendant biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) during the initial four-year rotation of six willow varieties grown at four locations along a 500 km north-south pedoclimatic gradient within Saskatchewan, Canada. Nutrient budgets consisted of quantifying various nutrient inputs (e.g., atmospheric deposition and soil mineral weathering), outputs (e.g., fine and coarse root biomass, leaf biomass, harvested biomass, leaching, and denitrification), and transfers (e.g., soil organic matter mineralization, canopy exchange, leaf litter decomposition, and fine root turnover) associated with the plant available soil nutrient pool. Total above-and below-ground production during the rotation was approximately 40 Mg ha-1, with calculated soil nutrient budget deficits (i.e., nutrient outputs > inputs + transfers) of 17, 39, 112, 271, and 74 kg ha-1 for N, P, K, Ca, and Mg, respectively, averaged across the varieties and sites, but a soil S surplus of 60 kg ha-1. While soil nutrient budget deficits varied among sites, there were no significant differences (P >0.05) among willow varieties. Despite the relatively low nutrient-demanding nature of willow and negligible leaching or denitrification losses, nutrient export in harvested biomass over multiple rotations will require soil nutrient amendments to maintain SRC willow productivity, particularly N and P, albeit a fraction of the amount required for annual agronomic crops.
