Bacterial community from biochar amended soil Targeted Locus (Loci). soil metagenome

The objectives of this study were: (i) to study the effects of biochar on soil properties and N2O emissions from soil with and without rape; (ii) to study the shift in microbial community composition after biochar addition; (iii) to reveal the responses of nitrifier and denitrifier populations to biochar addition; and iv) to determine the mechanisms of increasing or reducing N2O emissions by biochar amendment.
