Biochar, an environmentally friendly soil conditioner, is produced using several
thermochemical processes. It has unique characteristics like high surface area, porosity, and …

Biochar is an extremely valuable carbon black material used since the Pre‐Columbian Era
in Latin America and is known for its properties to promote soil fertility and sustain crop …

Although soil ecological stoichiometry is constrained in natural ecosystems, its responses to
anthropogenic perturbations are largely unknown. Inputs of inorganic fertilizer and crop …

In this chapter, a biochar classifi cation system related to its use as a soil amendment is
proposed. This document builds upon previous work: Standardized product defi nition and …

Biochar, over the last two decades, has become the focal point of agro-environmental
research given its unique functionality, cost-effectiveness and recyclability potentials. It has …

The traditional view holds that biological nitrogen (N) fixation is energetically expensive and
thus, facultative N fixers reduce N fixation rates while obligate N fixers are excluded by non …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a considerable threat to human health through grain
enrichment and limits biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in paddy fields. Biochar has shown …

The wheat straw biochar has well pronounced effects on the coastal saline-alkali soil
remediation/health. The soil water content in saline-alkali soil increased by 12.4 …

Inorganic fertilizers are widely used to provide crops with significant amounts of nitrogen (N)
and phosphorus (P), but can exacerbate soil carbon (C) limitation and acidification. Crop …

Analyzing diazotrophic community may help to understand nitrogen transformation in
composting and improves the final compost quality. In this study, diazotrophic community …
