Title of contribution Depth of shallow northern soils with/without biochar amendment on time water pollution intensity by runoff & leaching.
Type of contribution Activity or event (e.g., meeting, workshop, webinar, conference, article, website), Learning material (e.g., video, presentation, booklet, article and website), Larger capacity-building projects or initiatives, Support to national or (sub)regional platforms or networks engaging in IPBES, Support to communities of practice engaging in IPBES
Contributing to other elements of the IPBES work programme Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies
Brief description of contribution Northern soils, given the rainfall intensity have very young and shallow soils because of reduced rate of weathering. There is the general move, especially in Africa to increase the amount of inorganic fertilizer applications to boost crop production. Juxtaposing the shallow soil depth and rate of increase of fertilizer applications, especially the nitrogen-based fertilizers, it is imperative to speak about the consequence of contamination of surface and ground water by runoff and leaching of these inorganic fertilizers. The devastations of nitrogen polluted water bodies are evident all over the world. It is therefore important to discuss the measures to subvert this devastation.
