Agricultural soils are the primary anthropogenic source of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O), contributing to global warming and depletion of stratospheric ozone. Biochar addition has shown potential to lower soil N2O emission, with the mechanisms remaining unclear. We incubated eucalypt biochar (550 °C)--0, 1 and 5% (w/w) in Ferralsol at 3 water regimes (12, 39 and 54% WFPS)--in a soil column, following gamma irradiation. After N2O was injected at the base of the soil column, in the 0% biochar co ...[more]
