Comparative and synergistic impacts of lime and biochar on soil properties, nitrogen transformation, and microbial function in acidic soils under tobacco cropping
These findings suggest that lime enhances nitrification, while biochar promotes nitrate retention, together increasing soil nitrogen availability. The combined application of lime and biochar integrates these benefits, yielding results comparable to biochar alone. This study offers valuable insights into the synergistic use of lime and biochar for mitigating soil acidification and optimizing nitrogen management in agricultural systems.
