abstract = {Biochar application to soil has the potential to increase
soil productivity while reducing anthropogenic greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. However, techniques
for conditioning this material for maximizing its effects as
a soil amendment require elucidation. We examined changes of
organic matter associated with two biochars after 175 d of
composting and the resulting effects on GHG emissions during
a 150-d incubation period. Composting decreased the amount
of organic compounds that could be thermally released from
the biochars and affected their molecular nature. These
thermally desorbable organic compounds from initial biochars
likely stimulated the oxidation of CH4 and inhibited the
production of N2O in soil–biochar mixtures. However, these
reductions of GHG emissions disappeared together with
thermally desorbable organic compounds after the composting
of chars. Instead, addition of composted gasification coke
and charcoal stimulated the formation of CH4 and increased
N2O emissions by 45 to $56\%.$ Nitrous oxide emissions
equaled $20\%$ of the total amount of N added with composted
biochars, suggesting that organic compounds and N sorbed by
the chars during composting fueled GHG production. The
transient nature of the suppression of CH4 and N2O
production challenges the long-term GHG mitigation potential
of biochar in soil.},
