A perspective on biochar for repairing damages in the soil–plant system caused by climate change-driven extreme weather events
Abstract There has been more than 75% rise in the number of extreme weather events such as drought and flood during 2000–2019 compared to 1980–1999 due to the adverse effects of climate change, causing significant deterioration of the soil and water quality. Simultaneously, the growing human population has been exerting pressure on available water and […]

Effect of invasive weed biochar amendment on soil enzymatic activity and respiration of coal mine spoil: a laboratory experiment study
Abstract Mining and excavation activities cause massive degradation of land, leading to complete loss of soil resources, vegetation, and biodiversity. Mine spoils support invasive weeds (predominantly Lantana) which can strive in these harsh conditions, causing allelopathy during plantation stage of reclamation. It is hypothesised that biochar produced from invasive weeds will enhance enzymatic activity, CO2 flux and […]
