TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the available literature on the effects of biochar on soil properties and GHG emissions in forest soils is presented, where the authors focus on the negative impacts of intensive forest management and global climate change on the quality of forest soils via soil acidification, reduction of soil organic carbon content, deterioration of soil biological properties, and reduction of the soil biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of long-term intensive management practices, including inorganic fertilizer application, tillage, and understory removal, on total and labile organic carbon (SOC) stock and chemical composition of SOC in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests and explored relationships between different soil organic C forms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the response of soil physicochemical and microbial properties to biochar application and how these factors mediate the biochar-induced change in soil RH in a subtropical bamboo plantation.

TL;DR: In the intensively managed bamboo plantations changes in organic C forms were closely linked to changes in soil fungal community composition; such linkages have implications for soil nutrient cycling and C transformation in the plantation ecosystem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial and vertical variations of potentially hazardous metals (PHM) in paddy soils and their potentially ecological risks were studied, and the results showed that the mean total concentrations of five PHM (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni) were 0.38, 35.40, 121.05% and 109.38%, respectively.
