Biochar improves soil organic carbon sequestration potential in the topsoil and subsoil of a paddy field

We investigated the carbon sequestration potential and underlying mechanisms of a paddy soil amended with biochar for 4 years. By adding maize straw and incubating the soil for 60 days in the laboratory at depths of 0–15 cm, 15–30 cm, and 30–50 cm, we found that biochar reduced soil organic carbon m...
