Abstract The European Union is among the top wheat producers in the world, but its
productivity relies on adequate soil fertilisation. Biofertilisers, either alone or in combination …

The taxonomic and functional diversity of bacteria in seven different experimental variants
applied to soil under a maize plantation was determined by means of next-generation …

Biochar shapes the soil environment and plant growth. Nevertheless, the mechanisms
associated with an improved plant biomass and soil microbiome in low metal-contaminated …

Biochar can have a positive effect on agricultural soils and plant yields. The underlying
mechanisms that deliver beneficial outcomes are still poorly understood. Soils contain …

Commodity crops, such as wheat and maize, are extremely dependent on chemical
fertilizers, a practice contributing greatly to the increase in the contaminants in soil and …

Biochar is known to enhance soil fertility and C sequestration, but relatively little information
is currently available about its effect on soil microbial community, a component of terrestrial …

Biochar has been recently proposed as a management strategy to improve crop productivity
and global warming mitigation. However, the effect of such approach on soil greenhouse …

Background and aims Within the last decades, considerable knowledge has been gained on
the impacts of carbonaceous soil additives such as hydrochar (or HTC) and biochar (or …

We previously observed that the biochars used in this study can replace 15%(v/v) of perlite
in a peat-based growing medium (PBGM) without causing any harm to microbial biomass …

Numerous reports confirm the positive effect of biochar application on soil properties and
plant development. However, the interaction between root-associated beneficial microbes …
