Biomass amendment effects on soil nutrients and microbial phosphorus under different land uses in a tropical dryland

Dryland agriculture is constrained by limited water availability, low organic matter and increasing erosion. In sloping dryland areas of eastern Indonesia, slash-and-burn land preparation can reduce soil fertility. This study examined the effects of five biomass amendments (control, rice husk charcoal (RHC), wood charc...
