The role of biochar on greenhouse gas offsets, improvement of soil attributes and nutrient use efficiency in tropical soils

Biochar use in agriculture as a nature-based solution: factors influencing N>small<>sub<2>/small<>/sub<O emissions in tropical soils

“…Mg ha -1 ) (Menandro et al, 2017). For the biochar rate of 5 Mg ha -1 , a mean production rate of 30-35% was considered for sugarcane straw biochar during pyrolysis (Abbruzzini, 2015;Lefebvre et al, 2020). Based on this, the 10 Mg ha -1 rate was chosen to observe the effects of doubling the previous rate, since most studies about the biochar effects on N2O emissions are performed with biochar inputs higher than 5 Mg ha -1 .…”
