Mitigation of methane emission in a rice paddy field amended with biochar-based slow-release fertilizer

Despite improving soil quality and reducing nitrogen (N) loss in paddy soil, replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer would significantly accelerate greenhouse gas emission in terms of methane (CH4). The application of slow-release fertilizer has been proposed an effective approach to control CH4 emissions, in addition to reducing N loss. Yet, the understanding of CH4 emissions from paddy fields with the additions of different...
