On the project

Předložený projekt si klade za cíl popsat efekt aplikace biouhlu jakožto zdroje stabilního uhlíku na fyzikální, chemické a (mikro)biologické pochody probíhající v půdě. V rámci řešení projektu bude rovněž posuzována stabilita půdní organické hmoty, její distribuce a dostupnost pro ostatní půdní komponenty. Originalita předloženého projektu spočívá v multidisciplinárním přístupu k řešení dané problematiky, který je reprezentován inovativním propojením studia vlivu aplikace biouhlu na základní charakteristiky půdy kombinací makroskopických analýz materiálů s jejich komplexní analýzou na molekulární úrovni. Získaný náhled do dynamiky půdní organické hmoty spolu s komplexní charakterizací jednotlivých skupin látek na molekulární úrovni napomůže definovat základní skupiny molekul zodpovědné za stabilizaci organické hmoty v půdě. Výsledky projektu významně pomohou při definovaní způsobu, jak cíleně modifikovat rovnováhu ve studovaném přírodním systému (půdě) pomocí aplikace vhodné formy stabilizované organické hmoty (např. biouhlu).

Description in English
The main aim of the project is to contribute to the understanding of physical, chemical and (micro)biological processes in soil after the application of biochar as a stable carbon source. Moreover, the organic matter stability, its distribution and availability to the other components in soil will be addressed in the project as well. A novelty and originality of the project can be found in multidisciplinary approach represented by the innovative interconnection of the study of biochar effects on soil characteristics obtained by macroscopic analyses of bulk materials together with their in-depth analyses on molecular level. These crucial insights into soil organic matter dynamics together with in-depth characterisation of the individual organic matter pools on molecular level will be used to define the basic organic matter families of molecules responsible for the organic matter stabilization in soils. The results of the project will help to predict the ways, how to adjust the equilibrium in such a system in required way through the addition of stable organic matter (e.g. biochar).
