Biochar-based fertilizer amendment can improve soil properties partly due to stimulated
microbial activities and growths. The karst ecosystem is prone to degradation and accounts …

Core Ideas Biochar‐based fertilizer treatments induced significant microbial community
structure shifts compared with no‐biochar and biochar alone. Biochar‐based fertilizer …

Karst ecosystems are vulnerable to degradation and constitute a significant proportion of
southwestern China. Here, we explored the amendment of karst soils with biochar in …

Soil microbial community diversity and composition are responsive to biochar application.
However, the impacts of biochar application on soil microbial community structure and …

In the current context, there is a growing interest in reducing the use of chemical fertilizers
and pesticides to promote ecological agriculture. The use of biochar and plant growth …

Although biochar has been widely evaluated as a soil-amendment, the response of soil
bacterial community to biochar addition, especially after several years' addition, has not yet …

Biochar addition to soil can change soil physicochemical properties, resulting in a shift of the
soil microbial community. However, it is uncertain how long-term biochar application affects …

Biochar is usually used as an agricultural soil amendment to improve soil nutrition
availability and soil microbial environment. However, the effects of Moutai lees biochar on …

Biochar and chemical fertilizer have been widely used in agriculture. Most studies have
proved that they not only alter soil nutrient content, but also have an impact on soil microbial …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 years of continuous biochar and
biochar-based fertilizer (BBF) application on the soil bacterial community of brown earth soil …
