Biochar enhancement of nitrification processes varies with soil conditions.
Sci Total Environ
August 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how incorporating different types of biochar into agricultural soils affects nitrogen transformation and microbial processes, particularly focusing on the impact of urea fertilizer application.
- It highlights that soil moisture plays a more significant role in nitrogen transformations than biochar itself, although biochar can lead to varying concentrations of nitrogen species, especially in drier, sandy soils.
- While biochar generally enhances nitrification and helps mitigate soil acidification, the extent of its effectiveness varies significantly based on soil texture, moisture levels, and the type of biochar used.
