Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Basalt increased Ni and Cr in the reducible soil fraction.
- Intervention effect Basalt did not elevate plant metal concentrations in clover and mustard.
- Intervention effect Basalt tended to reduce Ni and Zn in leachates.
- Intervention effect Basalt did not affect any of the 33 assessed elements in aboveground plant biomass.
- Intervention effect Biochar increased plant biomass.
- Intervention effect Biochar increased mustard phosphorus.
- Intervention effect Biochar reduced plant uptake of several trace metals in mustard and clover.
- Intervention effect Co-amendment with basalt and biochar gave no synergistic gains in biomass or reductions in plant heavy metals.
- Intervention effect Co-application of basalt and biochar did not produce observable rock weathering.
