Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc
