Biochar Amendment Alters the Nutrient-Use Strategy of Moso Bamboo Under N Additions.

ABSTRACT: Nutrient resorption can affect plant growth, litter decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Although the effects of nitrogen (N) and biochar fertilizers on soil nutrient concentrations and plant nutrient uptake have been studied, an understanding of how combined applications of N and biochar affect plant nutrient resorption in plantations is lacking. In this study, we applied N (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg N ha^-1 yr^-1 defined as N0, N30, N60, and N90, respectively) and biochar (0, 20, and 40 t biochar ha^-1 defined as BC0, BC20, and BC40, respectively) to the soil of a Moso bamboo plantation. We investigated the effects of these treatments on N and phosphorus (P) resorption by young and mature bamboo plants, as well as the relationships between nutrient resorption and
