In this study, the amounts of phosphorus (P) in nine types of biochar (one natural woody
biochar and eight manufactured plant derived biochars) extractable by deionized water, 0.5 …

Biochar as a soil amendment has been reported to affect the content and availability of soil
nutrients. In this study, we aimed to test whether the biochar addition to soils would change …

Abstract Changes in soil phosphorus (P) availability after biochar application have been
reported in a number of glasshouse and field trials. However, the mechanisms underlying …

In an energy‐limited world, biomass may be converted to energy products through pyrolysis.
A byproduct of this process is biochar. A better understanding is needed of the sorption …

Biochar is a potential material for making slow-releasing phosphorus (P) fertilizers for the
sake of increasing soil P use efficiency and mitigating P losses. However, the long-term …

The term biochar refers to materials with diverse chemical, physical and physicochemical
characteristics that have potential as a soil amendment. The purpose of this study was to …

The reactive nature of phosphorus (P) leads to the formation of insoluble Fe, Al and Ca
phosphates in highly weathered tropical soils, thus reducing P availability for plant uptake …

Biochar, a solid coproduct from the thermochemical production of bioenergy, has been
reported to increase nutrient availability in soils through increased cation retention and …

Abstract Properties of biochar are thought to determine whether phosphorus (P) sorption or
increased P availability occur following biochar application to sandy acidic soil; the effect of …

Biochar has attracted widespread attention due to its high carbon (C) content, abundant
surface functional groups and porous structure. Numerous studies have shown that biochar …
