Coal char affects soil pH to reduce ammonia volatilization from sandy loam soil

Abstract Ammonia (NH3) volatilization loss adversely affects N availability in soil‐plant systems, reduces crop yield, and negatively impacts environment. Char (coal combustion residue), which contains up to 293 g kg−1 total C by weight, has been shown to reduce NH3 volatilization due to its conside...
