| Abstract: |
| In last decade, a lot of work has been done on the effects of short-term and one application of biochar on crop yield, soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gases emissions. Results show that biochar can increase soil organic carbon. However, the effects of biochar on crop yield, CH4 and N2O emissions vary with biochar types and soil properties. Increase magnitude of biochar application in acid soil is higher than that in neutral or alkaline soil. Straw or wood biochar can decrease farmland N2O emission, however manure biochar can't. The decrease magnitude of biochar application on N2O emission in tropical and subtropical area is smaller than that in temperate area. In addition, the effects of biochar on greenhouse gas mitigation are also impacted by biochar production technique. Before biochar can be extensively used, the effects of long-term and multi-application of biochar on crop growth and soil greenhouse gases emissions, and interactions of biochar properties and soil types must be investigated. And the biochar production techniques must be explored. |
