Biochar is produced as a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional
groups by pyrolysis, which refers to the process of thermochemical decomposition of organic …

The biochar is a solid carbon-rich, porous material produced by the thermochemical
conversion of a diverse range of biomass feedstocks under an inert atmosphere (ie, in the …

Rapid industrial development and human activities have caused a degradation of soil
quality and fertility. There is increasing interest in rehabilitating low fertility soils to improve …

Biochar is the carbon-rich product of the pyrolysis of biomass under oxygen-limited
conditions, and it has received increasing attention due to its multiple functions in the fields …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have moved from the environmental resistome into
human commensals and pathogens, driven by human selection with antimicrobial agents …

With increased interest in scientific investigations and large-scale applications of
lignocellulosic biomass derived biochar for environmental management, a comprehensive …

Previous studies already demonstrated that biochar addition reduces nitrogen (N) leaching
in soil, but little information is available about its effects on N leaching and bacterial …

Biochar has been widely studied as a soil amendment to improve soil properties. When
different feedstocks are used to produce biochar under different pyrolysis conditions, the …

A large number of soils, worldwide, are acid (normally pH< 5.5) and suffering from on-going
soil acidification. Acid soils or soils undergoing acidification generally have low fertility and …

Composting is widely used for recycling of urban sewage sludge to improve soil properties,
which represents a potential pathway of spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes to …
