Application of urea in lowland rice fields leads to ammonia (NH3) volatilization and environmental pollution, and diminishes nitrogen recovery by rice (Oryza sativa L.). Amending urea with biochar could reduce NH3 loss from urea as well as improve chemical properties of acid soils. An incubation stu...
