TY - T1 - Potential of biochar soil amendments to reduce N leaching in boreal field conditions estimated using the resin bag method SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/329899 T3 - A1 - Karhu, Kristiina; Kalu, Subin; Seppänen, Aino; Kitzler, Barbara; Virtanen, Eetu A2 - PB - Y1 - 2021 LA - eng AB - Addition of biochar to soil has been shown to reduce nitrogen (N) leaching in pot experiments, but direct field measurements are scarce, and data is lacking especially from colder, boreal conditions. We studied the effect of soil organic amendments on nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+) leaching using the resin bag method, by placing the bags containing ion-exchange resins under the plough layer. We compared N leaching under five different treatments at the Päästösäästö project site (Soilfood Oy)...
