The results showed that (1) compared with CF, short-term application of biochar significantly enhanced the cumulative CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 27.5% from a soil-plant system by increasing the soil microbial biomass (e.g., MBC) and C substrates (e.g., SOC); (2) lowest emissions of CH<sub>4</sub> were observed in the BCF treatment, and an increase in CH<sub>4</sub> consumption and reduced competition with NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> may be responsible for the significant reduction in CH<sub>4</sub> source strength in biochar-amended soil; and (3) activation energy (E<sub>a</sub>) was identified as an important factor influencing the temperature sensitivity (Q<sub>10</sub>) of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Fertilization (CF and BCF) reduced the average Q<sub>10</sub> and E<sub>a</sub> values of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 9.0-26.7% and 23.5-10.1%, respectively, relative to the control. In addition, the average E<sub>a</sub> value in the BCF treatment (51.9 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>) was significantly higher than those in the control and CF treatments. The increase in Q<sub>10</sub> and E<sub>a</sub> values following biochar application possibly contributed to the supplementation of limited labile C and nutrients but highly resistant C following biochar application. Soil pH and crop cultivation may play key roles in influencing the change in E<sub>a</sub>.
