Soil microbiomes drive key functions in agroecosystems, determining soil fertility, crop
productivity and stress tolerance. The microbiome is intricately linked with soil structure …

Microbes of the phytomicrobiome are associated with every plant tissue and, in combination
with the plant form the holobiont. Plants regulate the composition and activity of their …

Multiple nutrient deficiencies related to severe soil fertility depletion have emerged as the
major constraint to the sustainability of agriculture on a global scale. Use of biochar and …

There is global interest in understanding the prospects for biochar application to agricultural
soils. If biochar enhances the availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to crops, this …

The use of biochar (BC) is discussed as a strategy to sequester carbon in soils, to reduce
GHG emissions and improve soil fertility. However, the responses of crop yields to biochar …

The main challenge of the twenty-first century is to find a balance between environmental
sustainability and crop productivity in a world with a rapidly growing population. Soil health …

The intervention of human in phosphorus pool seems to be a vicious circle. The rapid
population growth leads to the global food shortage, which leads to the massive use of …

ully revised and updated for its third edition, this book presents the definitive compilation of
current knowledge on all aspects of biochar. Research on biochar continues to accelerate …

Biochar is a widely used soil amendment that has positive effects on improving soil quality,
promoting resource efficiency of agricultural production, and reducing environmental …

We investigated how two different biochars (wood biochar-WBC and straw biochar-SBC)
affected P dynamics and bioavailability in five different soils differing in pH, C%, texture, Fe …
