biochar amendment

Biochar’s potential impact on soil erosion has gained attention, but remained inconsistent, particularly lacks the results from continuous field monitoring under diverse rainfall conditions. This study aimed to explore the long-term variation in soil erosion induced by biochar addition under distinct natural rainfalls. Six runoff plots, treated with different amounts of biochar derived from apple […]

Biochar application, as a kind of soil amendment, significantly influences soil physical and mechanical properties. This study revealed the effects of biochar application on the physical and mechanical properties of a clay-type soil at different irrigation levels. Soil was treated with three levels of biochar application: B0 (0 t ha(-1)), B1 (25 t ha-(1)) and […]

Applying biochar to soil has been recognized as a promising practice of climate-smart agriculture, with considerable potential in enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Previous studies showed that biochar-induced increases in SOC stock varied substantially among experiments, while the explanatory factors responsible for such variability are still not well assessed. Here, we conducted an integrative […]

Abstract Plant uptake of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and ions (Ag+) largely depends on their exchangeable and soil-bound fractions in soils, which may be influenced by biochar amendment. This study investigated the effects of biochar amendment (0.1% and 1.0%) on soil sorption of Ag NPs and Ag+, their soil-bound fractions, and their uptake and translocation […]
