Effects of long-term biochar application combined with chemical fertilization on the nitrifier community in tobacco plantation soil

Frontiers in Microbiology
Soil nitrogen (N) plays a critical role in plant nutrition and is regulated by the process of nitrification. Biochar can enhance soil N concentration and is hypothesized to influence nitrification, particularly when applied in combination with chemical ...

Organic Molecules from Biochar Leacheates Have a Positive Effect on Rice Seedling Cold Tolerance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Biochar is known to have a number of positive effects on plant ecophysiology. However, limited research has been carried out to date on the effects and mechanisms of biochar on plant ecophysiology under abiotic stresses, especially responses to cold.

Applying Cassava Stems Biochar Produced from Agronomical Waste to Enhance the Yield and Productivity of Maize in Unfertile Soil

Fermentation, 2021
Many agronomical wastes are produced annually in significant amounts after cultivation, especially in agricultural countries. This study applied biochar produced from the pyrolysis of cassava stems to improve soil with low fertility for maize cultivation.

Long-term fertilization regimes modulate dissolved organic matter molecular chemodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions in paddy soil

Biochar
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key factor in soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). However, the molecular-level change of soil DOM and the implications of GHGs under different long-term fertilization regimes (LFRs) remain ...

Long‐term biochar application promoted soil aggregate‐associated potassium availability and maize potassium uptake

GCB Bioenergy
Biochar is an effective ameliorator for soil quality improvement and nutrient reuse from biomass; however, the effect of biochar application on soil potassium (K) availability, plant K uptake, and the underlying mechanisms have not been well‐elucidated ...
