Conclusion Biochar caused short term priming effect, especially with biochar350 The soil organic C loss or surplus with the addition of biochar needs further investigation. The priming effects were most probably caused by the activated soil microorganisms through the water soluble components of the biochar, or by others, like, surface area, liming effects. The interaction between different organic C in the charsphere requires further investigation
