Article Synopsis
  • * An experiment assessed different rates of biochar replacing nitrogen fertilizer, finding that a 20% substitution significantly boosted soil organic carbon and microbial biomass while optimizing rice yield.
  • * The results indicated that while soil carbon mineralization peaked early in the incubation period, higher biochar application reduced overall carbon loss and supported better crop outcomes.

The effects of biochar combined with nitrogen fertilizer on soil microbial carbon, nitrogen (SMBC, SMBN), and rice yield and quality were investigated to provide a scientific basis for soil fertilization and nitrogen fertilizer reduction. Using a field experiment, we set up a nitrogen reduction gradient (T0-T4):0, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% reductions. The same amount of biochar nitrogen was used as the substitute and no nitrogen fertilizer was used as the control (CK).
