Litterbags containing pure substrates or mixtures were exposed to soil under natural rainfall conditions during one year. Most of C and N of exogenous organic matters (EOMs) and biochar were removed rapidly in the first 16 weeks of incubation. After one year, in case of applying alone, only around 30% of C of EOMs and 40% of C of biochar remained. Our data highlighted that in mixture, the presence of biochar led to about 40% higher amounts of C remaining, most probably related to aggregate formation preventing physical disintegration and/or leaching losses. Consequently, this study demonstrated the interest of mixing organic substrates with biochar for preventing C removal from soil immediately after field exposure. %$ 068 ; 076
