Biochar, an environmentally friendly soil conditioner, is produced using several
thermochemical processes. It has unique characteristics like high surface area, porosity, and …

The added value of biochar when applied along with fertilizers, beyond that of the fertilizers
themselves, has not been summarized. Focusing on direct comparisons between biochar …

Organic amendments (animal manure and biochar) to agricultural soils may enhance soil
organic carbon (SOC) contents, improve soil fertility and crop productivity but also contribute …

Biochar amendment to cropland has been recommended as a potential strategy to mitigate
climate change. However, estimations of the long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions …

In a desperate attempt to find organic alternatives to synthetic fertilizers, agricultural
scientists are increasingly using biochar as a soil amendment. Using chemical fertilizers …

Partially substituting inorganic fertilizer with organic fertilizer is widely adopted to improve
intensive vegetable production as well as potentially reduce carbon (C) and reactive …

Abstract Soil from the Loess Plateau of China is typically low in organic carbon and
generally has poor aggregate stability. Application of organic amendments to these soils …

Biochar is widely used for soil carbon sequestration and fertility improvement. However, the
effects of biochar interacted with nitrogen (N) on the mineralization of soil organic carbon …

Previous studies regarding environmental impacts of nitrification inhibitors (NIs) in intensive
vegetable production systems mainly focused on the fate of individual nitrogen (N) …

The sustainable development of agriculture depends on increasing N use efficiency (NUE)
and consequently reducing N losses from different sources, such as NH 3 volatilization, NO …
