DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117026
Abstract: Biochar may variably impact nitrogen (N) transformation and N-cycle-related microbial activities. Yet the mechanism of biochar amendment on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural ecosystems remains unclear. Based on a 6-year long-term biochar amendment experiment,… read more here.
