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 …

Soil microorganisms play crucial roles in soil nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, fertility
maintenance and crop health and production. To date, the responses of microorganisms …

This paper aimed to highlight the succession of biochar addition for soil amendment and
contaminants remediation during composting process. Biochar incorporated into the …

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

Biochar is considered as a potential substitute for soil organic matter (SOM). Considering the
importance of biochar, the present review is based on the different benefits and potential …

Salt-affected soil has become one of the major threats to soil health. However, the
evaluation of biochar amendment effects and the underlying mechanisms on physical …

Immobilized microbial technology has been widely used in wastewater treatment, but it has
been used less frequently for soil remediation, particularly in sites that are co-contaminated …

Biochar can be used as a promising potential substance to reduce the availability of toxic
elements and compounds in contaminated soils but its effects on the accessibility of …

We examined the effect of a labile soil amendment, compost, and recalcitrant biochar on soil
microbial community structure, diversity, and activity during turfgrass establishment. Two …

The changes to soil properties due to biochar addition may affect both the direction and
magnitude of priming effects. However, the mechanisms involved in biochar induced priming …
