TECHNICAL REPORTS SPECIAL SUBMISSIONS Inl uence of Biochars on Nitrous Oxide Emission and Nitrogen Leaching from Two Contrasting Soils Bhupinder Pal Singh* Industry and Investment NSW Blake J. Hatton and Balwant Singh The University of Sydney , Annette L. Cowie and Amrit Kathuria Industry and Investment NSW here has been an increased interest in biochar research in h e infl uence of biochar on nitrogen (N) transformation Trecent years due to its potential benefi cial eff ects on soil prop- processes in soil is not fully understood. h is study assessed the infl uence of four biochars (wood and poultry manure biochars erties. Biochar is the product of biomass that has been thermally synthesized at 400°C, nonactivated, and at 550°C, activated, decomposed at 300 to 600°C under partial or complete exclu- abbreviated as: W400, PM400, W550, PM550, respectively) sion of oxygen (pyrolysis). Biochars usually possess strong aro- on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission and N leaching from an Alfi sol matic structure and hence are biochemically more recalcitrant and a Vertisol. Repacked soil columns were subjected to three wetting–drying (W–D) cycles to achieve a range of water-fi lled than many other forms of organic matter in soil (Skjemstad et pore space (WFPS) over a 5-mo period. During the fi rst two al., 1996; Baldock and Smernik, 2002). Oxidation of biochar in W–D cycles, W400 and W550 had inconsistent eff ects on N2O soil
