All soils harbor microaggregates, ie, compound soil structures smaller than 250 µm. These
microaggregates are composed of diverse mineral, organic and biotic materials that are …

Clay minerals constitute an important component of the soil system and knowledge of their
role in soil fertility is imperative for sustainable soil management and productivity. The aim of …

Biochar application to soil has been proposed for soil carbon sequestration and global
warming mitigation. While recent studies have demonstrated that soil pH was a main factor …

Aggregate-protected soil organic matter remains an important platform for organic carbon
stabilisation and a sink for atmospheric CO 2 emission, which play a crucial role in …

Soils contaminated with hazardous chemicals worldwide are awaiting remediation activities;
bioremediation is often considered as a cost-effective remediation approach. Potential …

Biochar and mineral-enriched biochar (MEB) have been used as soil amendments to
improve soil fertility, sequester carbon and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Such …

Wide‐scale application of biochar to soil has been suggested as a mechanism to offset
increases in CO 2 emissions through the long‐term sequestration of a carbon rich and inert …

Soil is composed of a mosaic of different rocks and minerals, usually considered as an inert
substrata for microbial colonization. However, recent findings suggest that minerals, in soils …

Biochar is the porous, carbon-rich charred organic matter produced from the carbonization
of waste biomass. The novelty of biochar is enhanced substantially when it is reinforced with …

The hypothesis that sweet potato genotypes containing different starch yields in their
tuberous roots can affect the bacterial communities present in the rhizosphere (soil adhering …
