Effects of long-term biochar application combined with chemical fertilization on the nitrifier community in tobacco plantation soil [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Soil nitrogen (N) plays a critical role in plant nutrition and is regulated by the process of nitrification. Biochar can enhance soil N concentration and is hypothesized to influence nitrification, particularly when applied in combination with chemical ...
