The efficacy of biochar as an environmentally friendly agent for non-point source and climate change mitigation remains uncertain. Our goal was to test the impact of biochar amendment on paddy rice nitrogen (N) uptake, soil N leaching, and soil CH<sub>4</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O fluxes in northwest China. Biochar was applied at four rates (0, 4.5, 9 and13.5 t ha<sup>-1</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>). Biochar amendment significantly increased rice N uptake, soil total N concentration and the abundance of ...[more]
