F. B. V. aBiochar and soil nitrous oxide emissions.h[electronic resource] c2012 aThe objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of biochar application on soil nitrous oxide emissions. The experiment was carried out in pots under greenhouse conditions. Four levels of ground commercial charcoal of 2 mm (biochar) were evaluated in a sandy Albaqualf (90% of sand): 0, 3, 6, and 9 Mg ha‑1. All treatments received 100 kg ha‑1 of N as urea. A cubic effect of biochar levels was observed on the N2O emissions. Biochar doses above 5 Mg ha‑1 started to mitigate the emissions in the evaluated soil. However, lower doses promote the emissions. abiochar agases aGreenhouse gases aPyrolysis aEfeito Estufa aGas de efeito estufa aLignocellulosic residues aPirólise aResíduo lignocelulósico1 aCARDOSO, A. da S.1 aALVES, B.
