Abstract

Recently, biochar-related research using agricultural by-products has been actively conducted as part of a response to climate change. However, the effect research of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by the application of biochar by soil type in Korea is still insufficient. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the greenhouse gas reduction effect according to the application level of biochar by soil type. Closed chamber experiments were carried out for 42 days. The closed chamber experiment was performed by applying a different input amount biochar (0, 5, 10 and 20 ton ha-1) by four soil types (upland soil, greenhouse soil, converted soil, reclaimed soil). The cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) emission decreased by 21.1 - 25.7% on average in greenhouse soil, converted soil, and reclaimed soil, but there was no significant difference. It was analyzed that the cumulative nitric oxide (N2O) emission decreased significantly by 43.7 - 72.1% on average compared to the control group. All four soil types were analyzed to have low N2O emissions in the treatment chamber to which 20 ton ha-1 of biochar was applied. Long-term monitoring studies related biochar that can suppress nitrous oxide emissions and increase crop production are considered to needed for sustainable agriculture.

Cumulative total N2O by soil type according to biochar application under closed chamber condition during the 42 days.
