Application of biochar has been shown to increase soil fertility and enable soil carbon sequestration, indicating potential for agricultural and environmental benefits from using locally produced biochar on African smallholder farms. However, previous studies have been rather short-term and littl...

Increasing organic matter/carbon contents of soils is one option proposed to offset climate change inducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, under the auspices of the UNFCC Paris Agreement. One of the complementary practices to sequester carbon in soils on decadal time scales is amending it with b...

Soil fertility decline is a major constraint to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and maize (Zea mays) production in the Central Highlands of Burundi. Nutrient sources, specifically fertilizers, are paramount to increasing the production in the regions. Hence, improving fertilizer use efficiency is co...

Many pristine humid tropical forests show simultaneously high nitrogen (N) richness and sustained loss of bioavailable N forms. To better understand this apparent upregulation of the N cycle in tropical forests, process-based understanding of soil N transformations, in geographically diverse loca...

The microbial consumption of nitrous oxide (N2O) hasgained great interest since it was revealed that thisprocess could mitigate the greenhouse effect of N2O.The consumption of N2O results from its reduction todinitrogen gas (N2) as part of the denitrificationprocess. However, there ...

Peat soils can be strong sources of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O), but at the same time act as sinks for the greenhouse gas N2O. However, the role of N2O reduction to dinitrogen (N2) here is still not fully understood. In particular, this applies to pristine or weakly disturbed fen mires. These...
