Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Effects of Silicon within Biochar (Sichar) and Carbon-Silicon Coupling Mechanisms: A Critical Review.
TL;DR: To better understand the environmental effects and maximize the benefits of the designed utilization of Sichar, more investigations are required with an extension to microbes and more interactions with different ions via quantitative modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elaboration, characteristics and advantages of biochars for the management of contaminated soils with a specific overview on Miscanthus biochars
Adeline Janus,Aurélie Pelfrêne,Sophie Heymans,Christophe Deboffe,Francis Douay,Christophe Waterlot +5 more
TL;DR: The impacts of pyrolysis parameters on biochar characteristics are reported and the importance of characterizing them before their use in soils is shown, which confirms the value of biochars as a soil amendment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of biochars on the accessibility of organochlorine pesticides and microbial community in contaminated soils.
TL;DR: The results indicated that biochar-amendments had strong effects upon OCP accessibility over time and can act as super sorbent, and the findings from total phospholipid acid (PLFA) and Illumina next-generation sequencing revealed that the incorporation of biochar have altered the soil microbial community structure over time.

Ameliorating physical and chemical properties of highly weathered soils in the tropics with charcoal – a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the available information about the physical and chemical properties of charcoal as affected by different combustion procedures, and the effects of its application in agricultural fields on nutrient retention and crop production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic molecular structure of plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar)
TL;DR: A molecular-level assessment of the physical organization and chemical complexity of biomass-derived chars and, specifically, that of aromatic carbon in char structures suggests the existence of four distinct categories of char consisting of a unique mixture of chemical phases and physical states.
