Some Australian native plants inhibited nitrification in their rhizosphere. We propose future studies on these selected plant species by identifying and characterising the nitrification inhibiting compounds and also the potential of nitrification inhibition in reducing nitrogen losses through nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emission.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:39 AEDT ]]> Biochar-induced concomitant decrease in ammonia volatilization and increase in nitrogen use efficiency by wheat https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23888 −1 soil) followed by PM (124.2 mg kg−1 soil) and DAP (99 mg kg−1 soil). Ammonia volatilization was reduced by approximately 70% with PL-BC and MS-BC. The decreased NH3 volatilization with biochars is attributed to multiple mechanisms such as NH₃ adsorption/immobilization, and nitrification. Moreover, biochar increased wheat dry weight and N uptake as high as by 24.24% and 76.11%, respectively. This study unravels the immense potential of biochar in decreasing N volatilization from soils and simultaneously improving use efficiency by wheat.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:40 AEDT ]]>
