With increased interest in scientific investigations and large-scale applications of
lignocellulosic biomass derived biochar for environmental management, a comprehensive …

Biochar is a promising novel material for managing phosphorus (P), a nutrient often limiting
for primary production but can also be a pollutant, in the environment. Reducing P input to …

Microplastic pollution and changes to soil hydraulic characteristics affect the physical
properties and functions of soil; however, knowledge remains limited on how microplastics …

In this chapter, a biochar classifi cation system related to its use as a soil amendment is
proposed. This document builds upon previous work: Standardized product defi nition and …

Biochar is widely used as a soil amendment. Enzyme activity is an important factor that
reflects soil metabolic activity, and is involved in biochemical processes such as organic …

Fluoride as a geogenic contaminant is commonly encountered in groundwater-based
drinking water sources. In the present study Watermelon Rind (Citrullus lanatus) Biochar …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all organisms, thus playing unique and critical
roles at the food–energy–water nexus. Most P utilized by human activities eventually …

Traditional fertilizers are highly inefficient, with a major loss of nutrients and associated
pollution. Alternatively, biochar loaded with phosphorous is a sustainable fertilizer that …

As a promising soil amendment, biochar has demonstrated its potential for influencing soil
nutrient transformations. The effects of biochar on soil phosphorus (P) transformations have …

Coupled amendments of biochar and organic fertilizers may be one of the effective practice
to ensure high cropland productivity and resource use efficiency, but there is little field …
