Greenhouse trial- testing basic biochar setups
Contact: Hardy Schulz
Project: BMBF 01LY0909F
research question:
- Could biochar stabilize organic/inorganic nitrogen applications?
- Is there a limit for minimum application amounts (no effect level)?
- Is there a limit for maximum application amounts?
Results:
1. Biochar influences the nitrogen cycle (Schulz & Glaser, JPNSS 2012, doi: 10.1002 / jpln.201100143 )

2. Biochar applications have a no effectl evel.

3. No upper application level was found on two model soil substrates (Schulz & Glaser, ASDE 2012).
