“…Thus no significant changes in the abundance of the denitrifying microbial community were observed in response to soil biochar amendment. No significant effect of biochar on gene copy numbers of functional denitrification genes has also been reported in other studies7576. In contrast to our results on gene copy numbers, soil biochar amendment significantly increased nirK , typical nosZ , and atypical nosZ transcript copy numbers.…”

“…Throughout our study period (i.e., the rice growing season), biochar treatments caused notable decreases in cumulative N 2 O emissions compared with non-biochar treatment (Figure 4). This result corroborates previous studies that biochar application to agriculture soil can efficiently mitigate N 2 O emissions (Dicke et al, 2015;Hagemann et al, 2017;Sun et al, 2017). Interestingly, there were no spikes of N 2 O emissions after N fertilization events in our study, which might be related to the gas sampling at wide time intervals.…”

“…An additional environmental benefit of nutrient sorption by biochar is the potential to mitigate the microbial production of N 2 O following digestate application. Dicke et al (2015) studied the effect of biochar material and digestate on N 2 O fluxes under field conditions and showed that the addition of biochar reduced N 2 O emissions, although the emission of N 2 O was mostly influenced by temperature and precipitation. It could be argued that the higher specific surface area of the activated carbon is better than the biochar material thus making it a more reliable resource for microbial cell immobilization and the sorption of contaminants (Wang & Han, 2012).…”

“…A better approach may be to focus on increasing the nutrient retention capacity of the digestate material. There is a growing interest in the use of biochar in AD to both increase the recovery rate of the process during SII and decrease the nutrient loss before and after land application (Mumme et al, 2014;Dicke et al, 2015;Cai et al, 2016;Lü et al, 2016;Sunyoto et al, 2016). This will potentially increase the operation of mono-substrate AD, which is often used by single substrate onsite AD operators, increase nutrient availability during digestate application to land and reduce the environmental implications of diffuse pollution and nutrient leaching.…”
