The continuously rising interest in chemical sensors' applications in environmental
monitoring, for soil analysis in particular, is owed to the sufficient sensitivity and selectivity of …

Soil plays an important role in controlling the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and
contaminants in the environment. Reliable analytical techniques are critical to better …

Little is known about the interactive effects between biochar application and phosphorus (P)
fertilization on plant growth and P uptake. For this purpose, five wheat straw biochars …

Biochar application to agricultural land has been proposed as a means for improving
phosphorus (P) availability in soil. The purpose of the current study was to understand how …

Chemical fractionation, speciation analysis and bioavailability of metals and metalloids in
waters have received increased attention in recent years. However, this interest is not …

In agricultural soils, nitrogen (N) fertilizer is typically applied as ammonium salts or urea, and
undergoes microbially mediated oxidation. However, insights regarding substrate …

Land application of biochar, the product of organic waste carbonization, can improve soil
fertility as well as sequester carbon to mitigate climate change. In addition, biochar can …

Exogenous Si mitigates the mobility and bioavailability of Cd in the soil, thereby alleviating
its phytotoxicity. This study focused on specific Si-induced immobilisation effects within the …

The charosphere, the interface microzone between biochar and soil, plays a vital role in
biochemical processes following biochar application to soil. However, the development of …

Abstract A two-dimensional (2D) imaging technique, planar optode (PO) technique, is
developed to investigate biogeochemical processes at a high resolution in heterogeneous …
