Numerous studies have documented the beneficial effects of short-term biochar application on soil carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and ecological functions enhancement. However, concerns persist regarding the impacts on soil reactive nitrogen (N) loss and crop yields under l...
