Abstract Biochar amendment is generally recognized as an effective mitigation
option of methane (CH4) emissions from rice cultivation. Although its mitigation
mechanisms are not well understood, the potential relevance of surface area and
porosity of biochar has been discussed. This study aimed to evaluate the application of different biochar particle sizes on CH4 production, oxidation, and emissions from rice cultivation in a clay loam soil, based on the assumption that
porosity and surface area of biochar are directly related to its mitigation effects.
Rice was grown under greenhouse conditions for two growing seasons, either
