Short-term cellulose addition decreases microbial diversity and network complexity in an Ultisol following 32-year fertilization

Guiping Ye et al.

Summary: Cellulose addition increased cumulative CO2 emission in all treatments, especially in pig manure amended soils; cellulose addition significantly reduced the alpha diversity of bacteria and fungi across all fertilization treatments, with a more pronounced effect on fungi; cellulose addition altered bacterial community structure by increasing copiotrophic bacteria abundance and reducing oligotrophic bacteria abundance.

Effects of Different Feedstock Type and Carbonization Temperature of Biochar on Oat Growth and Nitrogen Uptake in Coapplication with Compost

Shoki Ochiai et al.

Summary: The research findings indicate that the application of biochar-compost combination can enhance plant growth, with biochar diversity and feedstock type playing important roles. The application of manure biochar can significantly increase plant biomass production, while the carbonization temperature has a less significant impact on plant growth.

Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Crop Yield in Four Successive Crops Following Application of Biochar and Zeolites

M. Angelo Rodrigues et al.

Summary: Biochar did not increase crop yield in the short term, but could increase soil organic carbon when combined with high nitrogen rates, maintaining both productivity and sustainability in the agro-system. Oats as a catch crop played an important role in reducing nitrate leaching and denitrification risk during winter.

Biochar can improve biological nitrogen fixation by altering the root growth strategy of soybean in Albic soil

Liqun Xiu et al.

Summary: The study found that biochar can improve the properties of Albic soil and promote soybean growth, with increases in nitrogen contents of the soil and soybeans being key aspects. Biochar may enhance soybean biological nitrogen fixation by affecting soybean root growth, leading to increased crop yield.
