    Abstract Globally, about 50% of all arable soils are classified as acidic. As crop and plant growth are significantly hampered under acidic soil conditions, many farmers, but increasingly as well forest managers, apply lime to raise the soil pH. Besides its direct effect on soil pH, liming also affects soil C and nutrient cycles and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. In this meta-analysis, we reviewed 1570 observations reported in 121 field-based studies worldwide, to assess liming effects on soil GHG fluxes and plant productivity. We found that liming significantly increases crop yield by 36.3%. Also, soil organic C (SOC) stocks were found to increase by 4.51% annually, though soil respiration is stimulated too (7.57%).

    Abstract Globally, about 50% of all arable soils are classified as acidic. As crop and plant growth are significantly hampered under acidic soil conditions, many farmers, but increasingly as well forest managers, apply lime to raise the soil pH. Besides its direct effect on soil pH, liming also affects soil C and nutrient cycles and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. In this meta‐analysis, we reviewed 1570 observations reported in 121 field‐based studies worldwide, to assess liming effects on soil GHG fluxes and plant productivity. We found that liming significantly increases crop yield by 36.3%. Also, soil organic C (SOC) stocks were found to increase by 4.51% annually, though soil respiration is stimulated too (7.57%). Moreover, liming was found to reduce soil N₂O emission by 21.3%, yield‐scaled N₂O emission by 21.5%, and CH₄ emission and yield‐scaled CH₄ emission from rice paddies by 19.0% and 12.4%, respectively. Assuming that all acid agricultural soils are limed periodically, liming results in a total GHG balance benefit of 633−749 Tg CO₂‐eq year⁻¹ due to reductions in soil N₂O emissions (0.60−0.67 Tg N₂O‐N year⁻¹) and paddy soil CH₄ emissions (1.75−2.21 Tg CH₄ year⁻¹) and increases in SOC stocks (65.7–110 Tg C year⁻¹). However, this comes at the cost of an additional CO₂ release (c. 624–656 Tg CO₂ year⁻¹) deriving from lime mining, transport and application, and lime dissolution, so that the overall GHG balance is likely neutral. Nevertheless, liming of acid agricultural soils will increase yields by at least 6.64 × 10⁸ Mg year⁻¹, covering the food supply of 876 million people. Overall, our study shows for the first time that a general strategy of liming of acid agricultural soils is likely to result in an increasing sustainability of global agricultural production, indicating the potential benefit of liming acid soils for climate change mitigation and food security.

    Abstract Liming is often applied to alleviate soil acidification and increase crop yield on acidic soils, but its effect on soil phosphorus (P) availability is unclear, particularly in rice paddies. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of liming on rice production, yield and P uptake in a three-year field experiment in a double rice cropping system in subtropical China. We also conducted an incubation experiment to investigate the direct effect of liming on soil available P and phosphatase activities on paddy soils in the absence of plants. In the incubation experiment, liming reduced soil P availability (measured as Olsen-extractable P) by 14–17% and inhibited the activity of soil acid phosphatase. Nonetheless, lime application increased grain yield, biomass, and P uptake in the field. Liming increased grain yield and P uptake more strongly for late rice (26 and 21%, respectively) than for early rice (15 and 8%, respectively). Liming reduced the concentration of soil available P in the field as well, reflecting the increase in rice P uptake and the direct negative effect of liming on soil P availability. Taken together, these results suggest that by stimulating rice growth, liming can overcome direct negative effects on soil P availability and increase plant P uptake in this acidic paddy soil where P is not the limiting factor.

    Abstract The goal of this study was to improve the understanding of the large-scale mechanisms underlying the recovery of the zooplankton of Lake Orta from historical contamination, following reduced input of ammonia and metals and the subsequent 1989/90 liming intervention. The industrial pollution had been severe and long-lasting (1929-1990). Zooplankton biodiversity has improved, but most of the new taxa appearing in our counts are rotifers, while many calanoids and the large cladoceran predators ( Bythotrephes and Leptodora ) that are common in the nearby Lake Maggiore, were still absent from Lake Orta 17 years after liming. To aid understanding of the large-scale mechanisms controlling changes in annual richness, we assessed the annual persistence (P) of Crustacea and Rotifera taxa as an estimator of whether propagules that survived introduction, as result of the natural recolonization process, also thrived. We found that the rate of introduction of zooplankton colonists and their persistence in the water column of Lake Orta changed from 1971 to 2007. New rotifer taxa appeared in the lake after the mid-1980s, when discharge of toxic substances decreased, but their annual persistence was low (P<0.5) until the turn of the century. The numerical values of rotifer and crustacean persistence in Lake Orta were unexpectedly high in 2001 and 2007 (0.55 and 0.72 for rotifers, 0.85 and 0.86 for crustacean, respectively), much higher than in limed lakes in Sudbury, Canada, and in adjacent Lake Maggiore. We hypothesize this could be related to the lack of Cladoceran predators and zooplanktivorous fish in the pelagic waters of Lake Orta.

    Abstract Five treatments were applied: control (CK), reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) using alfalfa as organic material (RSD₀), liming before RSD₀ (RSD₁), adding potassium sulfate before RSD₀ (RSD₂), and adding lime and potassium sulfate before RSD₀ (RSD₃). Then, RSD-treated soils were inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum or not inoculated, and control soils were not inoculated. Cucumber was then cultivated for one season in all treatments. Soil pH increased after RSD treatments and then decreased after cucumber harvesting. Soil SO₄²⁻ content decreased after RSD treatments but then returned to its initial level during cultivation. The abundance of F. oxysporum significantly decreased after all RSD treatments, but it increased in the liming and high SO₄²⁻ content RSD treatments (RSD₁–₃) over the course of the growing season. The cucumber plants were infected by the pathogen in the CK and F. oxysporum-inoculated RSD treatments with high SO₄²⁻ content but were not infected in the RSD treatment without SO₄²⁻ addition. The RSD treatment without liming or SO₄²⁻ addition had the lowest relative abundance of potential pathogens (i.e., Fusarium and Penicillium) and the highest relative abundance of potential antagonists (i.e., Chaetomium). In conclusion, soil microbial biomass increased, and microbial community composition changed to become more suppressive to pathogens after the RSD treatment. The high SO₄²⁻ content influenced the microbial composition and weakened the ability of the soil treated with RSD to suppress disease.

    Abstract The idea of launching another special issue of the Journal of limnology on Lake Orta was born in 2014, on the 25 th anniversary of its liming intervention, during an International symposium on Lake Orta organized and hosted by the Pallanza Institute ( http://www.ise.cnr.it/vb ). The conference did not simply celebrate the past. While the liming of Lake Orta was undoubtedly a great national and international success, the speakers at the conference, instead sought to enlarge and deepen knowledge of patterns and mechanisms of lake ecosystem responses to the water quality improvements, or chemical recovery, that accompanied Lake Orta’s liming.

    Abstract Tea is a widely consumed beverage. However, recent studies revealed that there were an increasing number of cases of tea products exceeding the former maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in China for Pb (2 mg kg(-1)). Tea Pb contamination is an issue affecting trade and consumer confidence. Root uptake of Pb could contribute significantly to Pb accumulation in tea leaves due to the strong acidity of many tea garden soils. We conducted pot and field experiments to evaluate the effect of liming on Pb uptake by tea plants on two highly acidic soils (pH3.6). Additions of CaCO(3) significantly increased soil pH by up to 1 unit and decreased soil extractable Pb by up to 32%. Liming resulted in a decrease in the proportion of Pb in the exchangeable and carbonate-bound fractions, with a concurrent increase in the fractions bound to Fe/Mn oxides and residues. Liming significantly decreased Pb concentrations of fine roots, stems and new shoots of tea plants in the pot experiment. In the field experiments, the effect of liming was not significant during the first year following CaCO(3) application, but became significant during the second and third years and Pb concentration in the new shoots was decreased by approximately 20-50%, indicating that liming of acidic tea garden soils is an effective way to reduce Pb contamination of tea. The study also reveals a distinct seasonal variation, with Pb concentration in the new shoots following the order of spring>autumn>summer.

    Abstract The effect of liming an acidic mineral soil (Dystric Nitosol from southern China), used for arable agriculture, on N2O emission was studied in an incubation experiment. After the soil pH had been raised from pH 4.4 to 5.2, 6.7 and 8.1, soil samples were either amended with NH4 + and incubated aerobically, favoring nitrification or, after application of NO3−, the incubation took place under anaerobic conditions, favoring denitrification. Gas sampling for N2O determination and soil analyses were performed at regular intervals up to 13 days. Under nitrification conditions only small N2O emission rates were observed (max. 6 μg N kg−1 d−1) with significant differences between high and low pH values during the first 2 days of incubation. The nitrifying activity was low, even with high pH, and this, together with good aeration conditions, could partly explain the small N2O evolution. During denitrification, however, cumulative N2O emissions reached much higher values (1600 μg N kg−1 in comparison to 40 μg N kg−1 under nitrification conditions). N2O emission during denitrification was significantly enhanced by increasing soil pH. Under alkaline conditions (pH 8.1) a large nitrite accumulation occurred, which was in line with the highest nitrate reductase activity determined in this treatment. The limited availability of organic carbon is probably the main reason for the absence of further reduction of NO2− to N2O or N2. At pH 6.7 the total N2O emission was slightly higher than at pH 8.1, although the start of pronounced emissions was retarded and only small amounts of NO2− accumulated. Acid soil conditions caused either negligible (pH 4.4) or only small (pH 5.2) N2O emissions. It can be concluded that these kinds of soil, used alternatively for production of upland crops or paddy rice, are prone to high N2O emissions after flooding, particularly under neutral to alkaline conditions. In order to avoid major N2O evolution and accumulation of nitrite, which can be leached into groundwater, the pH should not be raised to values above 5.5–6.
