...In a pot trial with a hard-setting Chromisol (an Alfisol in USDA nomenclature), Chan et al. (2007) found a decrease in soil tensile strength from an initial, biochar-free value of 64.4 kPae31 kPa at an amendment rate of 50 t biochar ha 1; the tensile strength was again reduced to 18 kPa at 100 t…...
