Effects of application of fermentation residues from biogas production systems on carbon and nitrogen transformation in agricultural soils
Project
Project code: vTI-AK-08-42
Contract period: 01.01.2010
- 31.12.2012
Purpose of research: Applied research
An efficient nutrient recycling via fermentation residues is of main importance for the sustainability of biogas production systems in agriculture. The influence of biogas waste produced from different substrates on the processes of carbon and nitrogen transformation in agricultural soils is analyzed. The recalcitrance of its organic matter in soils is determined and the potential for soil carbon sequestration is evaluated. Management options to reduce emissions with adverse environmental effects are tested.
