Soils in intensively farmed areas of the world are prone to degradation. Amendment of such
soils with organic waste materials attempts to restore soil quality. Organic amendments are …

Biochar can improve a number of soil physical properties but few studies focused on the
impacts of different biochars on soil Atterberg limits and mechanical strength in paddy fields …

The use of biochar as soil amendment might improve the soil structure and carbon
sequestration. However, few studies have focused on the effects of biochar doses on soil …

Biochar is considered to enhance numerous soil ecosystem services, but whether it
alleviates soil compaction is not well known. This paper: 1) synthesizes the biochar impacts …

Rainfed black gram (Vigna mungo L.) production in low pH alfisol is severely hampered by
the sporadic and greater intensity of rainfall as well as low availability of soil phosphorous …

Improved soil properties are commonly reported benefits of adding biochar to agriculture
soils. To investigate the range of biochar's effects on soil chemical properties (eg, soil pH …

Biochar is a promising material for soil amendment. However, the sustained effects of
biochar vs. straw returning on cultivation in Albic soil are poorly understood. Two-year pot …

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of biochar on the diversity of bacteria and
fungi in the rice root zone and to reveal the changes in soil microbial community structure in …

The effect of different rates of biochar on selected soil properties and enzymatic activity 48,
60, and 72 months after biochar application to soil was investigated. Soil enzymatic activity …

The influence of biochar added to an agricultural soil on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
(PAH) levels, PAH diagnostic ratios and soil properties was investigated in a five-year field …
