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...
