Biochar decelerates soil organic nitrogen cycling but stimulates soil nitrification in a temperate arable field trial.

Biochar production and subsequent soil incorporation could provide carbon farming solutions to global climate change and escalating food demand. There is evidence that biochar amendment causes fundamental changes in soil nutrient cycles, often resulting in marked increases in crop production, partic...
