Effects of biochar application on nitrogen leaching, ammonia volatilization and nitrogen use efficiency in two distinct soils
This study was conducted to determine the effect of biochar application on nitrogen (N) leaching, ammonia (NH3) volatilization, and fertilizer N use efficiency (NUE) in two soils with different properties (loamy and sandy). Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) incubation experiments (with 15N-enriched urea...

Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) incubation experiments (with 15N-enriched urea applied) and an N loss simulation study were conducted at biochar application rates of 2% and 4%.

However, although the amount of leached NH4+-N decreased in biochar-amended sandy soil, the cumulative NH3 volatilizations were 14.18-20.05% higher than in the control, and 22.55% more NO3--N was leached from biochar-amended sandy soil, resulting in a negative effect on N retention.
