Agricultural soils represent the main source of anthropogenic N2O emissions. Recently, interactions black carbon with nitrogen cycle have been recognized and use biochar is being investigated as a means to reduce However, mechanisms reduction remain unclear. Here we demonstrate significant impact on denitrification, consistent decrease in emissions by 10-90% 14 different agricultural soils. Using (15)N gas-flux method observed N2O/(N2 + N2O) ratio, which demonstrates that facilitates last...
Abstract Various studies have established that feedstock choice, pyrolysis temperature, and type influence final biochar physicochemical characteristics. However, overarching analyses of pre-biochar creation choices correlations to characteristics are severely lacking. Thus, the objective this work was help researchers, biochar-stakeholders, practitioners make more well-informed in terms how these three major parameters product. Utilizing approximately 5400 peer-reviewed journal articles...
Agriculture and land use change has significantly increased atmospheric emissions of the non-CO2 green-house gases (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O) methane (CH4). Since human nutritional bioenergy needs continue to increase, at a shrinking global area for production, novel management strategies are required that reduce GHG footprint per unit yield. Here we review potential biochar N2O CH4 from agricultural practices including mechanisms behind observed effects. Furthermore, investigate alternative...
Abstract An important but little understood aspect of bioenergy production is its overall impact on soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. Increased energy from biomass will inevitably lead to higher input by‐products the as amendments or fertilizers. However, it still unclear how these influence microbial transformation processes in soil, thereby greenhouse gas (GHG) balance organic C stocks. In this study, we assess N dynamics GHG emissions following application different soil. Ten were...
In spite of the numerous studies reporting a decrease in soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions after biochar amendment, there is still lack understanding processes involved. Hence subject remains controversial, with number showing no changes or even an increase N2O application. Unraveling exact causes these changes, and which circumstances decreases increases emissions, vital to developing applying successful mitigation strategies. With this objective, we studied two soils (Haplic Phaeozem (HP)...
This paper reports the results on agronomic performance of organic amendments in EU 7th FP project “FERTIPLUS—reducing mineral fertilizers and agro-chemicals by recycling treated waste as compost bio-char”. Four case studies field-scale application biochar, biochar-blended were established studied for three consecutive years four distinct cropping systems under different agro-climatic conditions Europe. These included following sites: olive groves Murcia (Spain), greenhouse grown tomatoes...
