available water capacity while mitigating CO 2 emissions. We investigated the effect of
sugarcane bagasse–derived BC on the water retention properties of a calcaric clay soil
amended with 3%(wt/wt) BC produced at three pyrolysis temperatures (400 C, 600 C, and
800 C). For BC pyrolyzed at 800 C (BC800), water retention curves of soil amended at 1%,
5%, and 10%(wt/wt) were also measured. Water retention curves were measured …
