2022
Xu, Fujin | Chang, Huiqing
This study aimed at assessing the character of greenhouse emissions under different rates of composted sewage sludge as a nitrogen fertilization substitute, founding the characteristic of soil nitrogen change and, ultimately, providing a theoretical basis for the rational utilization of composted sewage sludge in calcareous soil. Compost sludge as a nitrogen fertilizer substitute has emission reduction effects on N₂O, CH₄ and CO₂. Compared with that of the single fertilizer application, the GHGI under the 20% sludge replacement treatment was significantly reduced by 20.15%, and the global warming potential was significantly reduced by 11.53%, while the wheat yield was increased by 4.78%. Compost sludge as a nitrogen substitute significantly increased the soil organic carbon at the jointing stage and reached a 100% replacement ratio at the maturity stage. During the jointing and mature stages, the total nitrogen content of the soil increased significantly at the 100% replacement ratio, while the soil nitrate nitrogen content only increased significantly at the 50% and 100% replacement ratio. Our findings highlight the impact of sludge compost on greenhouse gas emissions and soil nitrogen and guide the use of sludge compost in wheat fields.
