Popis: Biochar application has been shown to be effective in mitigating soil N2O emission in agricultural soils. However, the effect of biochar on soil N2O emission in subtropical plantations and the underlining mechanisms are poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar application rates (0, 5 and 15 t ha−1) on soil properties and N2O emissions within a Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) plantation in a 24-month field trial. Biochar application significantly (P
