Biochar has been widely used as an environmentally friendly material for soil improvement
and remediation, water pollution control, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and other …

Losses of nitrogen from the soil/plant system not only reduce soil fertility and plant yield but
can also create adverse impacts on the environment. Ammonia emissions into the …

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 …

The understanding of nitrogen (N) cycling in forest ecosystems has undergone a major shift
in the past decade as molecular methods are being used to link microorganisms to key …

The carbonization of biomass residuals to char has strong potential to become an
environmentally sound conversion process for the production of a wide variety of products …

Ruminants excrete as much as 70–95% of the nitrogen (N) they consume. The urine patch is
the conduit through which much of this N is recycled in grazed pasture systems. This chapter …

In this review we explore the biotic transformations of nitrogenous compounds that occur
during denitrification, and the factors that influence denitrifier populations and enzyme …

Biochars produced by slow pyrolysis of greenwaste (GW), poultry litter (PL), papermill waste
(PS), and biosolids (BS) were shown to reduce N2O emissions from an acidic Ferrosol …

The greatest potential for expanding the world's agricultural frontier lies in the savanna
regions of the tropics, which are dominated by Oxisols. Soil acidity and low native fertility …

Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the effect of charcoal addition on N2O
emissions resulting from rewetting of air-dried soil. Rewetting the soil at 73% and 83% of the …
