Biochar Application Reduces Saline-Alkali Stress by Improving Soil Functions and Regulating the Diversity and Abundance of Soil Bacterial Community in Highly Saline-Alkali Paddy Field
Saline-alkali soils seriously restrict the soil functions and the growth and diversity of soil microorganisms. Biochar can alleviate the negative effects of saline-alkali stress. However, it remains unclear how biochar reduces saline-alkali stress by improving soil functions and regulating the abundance and diversity of the soil bacterial community in highly saline-alkali paddy fields. To address […]

Interactive Suitability of Rice Stubble Biochar and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Improving Wastewater-Polluted Soil Health and Reducing Heavy Metals in Peas
Arable soils irrigated with wastewater (SIWs) cause ecological and human health issues due to the presence of heavy metals (HMs). Burning rice stubble (RS) poses severe environmental and human health hazards. Converting RS into rice stubble compost (RSC) and rice stubble biochar (RSB) can overcome these issues. Here, we considered the role of RS, RSC, […]

Reviewing Air Pollutants Generated during the Pyrolysis of Solid Waste for Biofuel and Biochar Production: Toward Cleaner Production Practices
The production of biofuels and biochar through pyrolysis is a promising avenue for sustainable energy generation and waste management. However, this process can inadvertently release various air pollutants into the atmosphere, potentially compromising its environmental benefits. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the gas pollutants associated with pyrolysis for biofuel and biochar production, as […]

Effects of Biochar-Coated Nitrogen Fertilizer on the Yield and Quality of Bok Choy and on Soil Nutrients
This study was aimed at problems associated with low fertilizer using efficiency, excessive nitrate content of vegetables, and soil degradation in greenhouse vegetable production. A pot experiment was conducted to assess the effects of applying biochar-coated nitrogen fertilizer (BCNF) on the yield, quality, and nitrate content of bok choy (Brassica rapa subsp. Chinensis) as well […]
