Popis: The goal of this research work was to determine widespread impact kiln-produced hardwood biochar has upon temperate agricultural soil characteristics in a long-term field experiment. This dataset is supplementary to the submitted research by [1] and presents select physical and chemical characteristics of the biochar and field plots amended with hardwood biochar. Data on soil gravimetric moisture content (GMC), soil acidity and soil nitrate-N concentration at lower depth of soil under different biochar application rates is presented. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is provided to demonstrate the difference between fresh and aged biochar in terms of surface functional group content.
