INCUBATION STUDIES OF BIOCHAR AND MANURE TO MITIGATE CARBON DIOXIDE RELEASE AND NITROGEN DEFICIENCY IN SEMI-ARID SOILS

Biochar (BC), produced through pyrolysis of organic residues, is increasingly being used as a beneficial soil amendment. We studied the effects of BC and animal manure additions on carbon dioxide (CO2) release and nitrogen (N) dynamics in three semi-arid climate soils. The objective of this study wa...
