The amendment of biochar for soil bioremediation can improve soil conditions, influence soil
microbial community, and achieve co-application of biochar-microbe to promote the removal …

The emission of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural soils endangers natural habitats.
Here, we review to which extent carbon-rich organic amendments help to retain nutrients …

Application of biochar to soils changes soil physicochemical properties and stimulates the
activities of soil microorganisms that influence soil quality and plant performance. Studying …

Biochars have attracted tremendous attention due to their effects on soil improvement; they
enhance carbon storage, soil fertility and quality, and contaminant (organic and heavy …

Soil microbial communities are responsive to biochar amendments. As the residence time of
biochar in soil is expected to be hundreds to thousands of years, the changes in microbial …

Purpose Biochar, the by-product of thermal decomposition of organic materials in an oxygen-
limited environment, is increasingly being investigated due to its potential benefits for soil …

Biochar, a carbonaceous material, is increasingly used in the remediation of the
anthropogenically polluted soils and the restoration of their ecological functions. However …

This review summarizes the influences of pyrolysis conditions and feedstock types on
biochar properties and how biochar properties in turn affect soil properties. Mechanistic …

Intensive cultivation of agricultural soils causes soil degradation which emphasizes the need
for sustainable soil management. Biochar, a pyrolysed carbon rich material has gained great …

Biochar is a stable carbon-rich product loaded with upgraded properties obtained by thermal
cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-free atmosphere. The pristine biochar is further …
