Effect of different types of biochar on soil properties and functional microbial communities in rhizosphere and bulk soils and their relationship with CH₄ and N₂O emissions.

ABSTRACT: Biochar as an agricultural soil amendment plays vital roles in mediating methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in soils. The link between different types of biochar, bulk soil, and rhizosphere microbial communities in relation to CH₄ and N₂O emissions is being investigated in this study. The rice pot experiment was conducted using biochar at two temperatures (300°C and 500°C) in combination with three biochar levels (0, 2, 10% w/w). Soil properties and the abundance of genes associated with CH₄ and N₂O emissions from both rhizosphere and bulk soils were investigated. The study also aimed to examine the structure of microbial communities (pmoA, nosZ) in rhizosphere and bulk soils whereas CH₄
