Exploring relations between plant photochemical quantum parameters and unsaturated soil water retention for biochars and pith amended soils

Himanshu Kumar et al.

Summary: This study fills the gap in existing research by comparing the effects of biochar and fiber on plant growth, soil water retention, and photochemical responses. Results show that biochar-amended soils significantly increase shoot growth and enhance stomatal conductance of grass leaves during drought periods. In addition, coconut fiber has a higher water retention capacity under low suction conditions.

Influence of biochar and biochar-based fertilizer on yield, quality of tea and microbial community in an acid tea orchard soil

Wenhao Yang et al.

Summary: The combination of biochar and chemical fertilizer has been shown to improve tea yield and quality. Biochar-based fertilizer treatment significantly increased tea growth parameters and promoted soil microbial diversity. Analysis of the relative abundance of plant beneficial microbes revealed a positive correlation with tea yield and quality.

A novel maize biochar-based compound fertilizer for immobilizing cadmium and improving soil quality and maize growth

Zhifan Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel biochar-based compound fertilizer was synthesized and its effects on the immobilization of available cadmium, soil fertility and maize growth were investigated. Results showed that low doses of the compound fertilizer significantly reduced Cd availability in soil and improved soil fertility and maize growth. The increase of pyrolysis temperature enhanced the biochar adsorption capacity for Cd2+ and the modification of urea, diatomite, and triple superphosphate played a vital role in cadmium immobilization, soil improvement, and maize growth.
