We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine
soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within …

Biochar is produced as a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional
groups by pyrolysis, which refers to the process of thermochemical decomposition of organic …

Biochar can be an effective carrier for microbial inoculants because of its favourable
properties promoting microbial life. In this review, we assess the effectiveness of biochar as …

The emission of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural soils endangers natural habitats.
Here, we review to which extent carbon-rich organic amendments help to retain nutrients …

Biochar is a carbon-containing material prepared through thermal treatment of biomass in
limited supply of oxygen, and used for an array of applications including waste …

Current agriculture faces multiple challenges due to rapid increases in food demand and
environmental concerns. Recently, biochar application in agricultural soils has attracted a …

Traditional disposal of animal manures and lignocellulosic biomass is restricted by its
inefficiency and sluggishness. To advance the carbon management and greenhouse gas …

Biochar, a carbonaceous material, is increasingly used in the remediation of the
anthropogenically polluted soils and the restoration of their ecological functions. However …

Biochar amendment in the soil can exert a positive effect in reducing heavy metal toxicity in
plants. However, it remains unclear the extent to which this effect is associated with the …

Bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum species complex poses a great
threat to Solanaceae and flue-cured tobacco crop production worldwide. R. solanacearum …
