TLDR
In this paper, a field experiment with control, compost only, biochar only, and a mixed compost-biochar application (co-composted and only mixed) at low and high application rates (9 −70 t ha−1) in southern Germany was established, and surface and subsurface (10−30 cm) soil samples were analyzed for pH, microbial biomass carbon (Cmic), water holding capacity (WHC), and cation exchange capacity (CEC).About:

Influence of biochar and biochar-based fertilizer on yield, quality of tea and microbial community in an acid tea orchard soil
Wenhao Yang,Changjuan Li,Shanshan Wang,Biqing Zhou,Yanling Mao,Christopher Rensing,Shihe Xing +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of biochar-based fertilizer on yield, quality of tea and microbial community composition in a tea orchard soil are investigated in four different treatments including CK (no fertilizer), B (biochar), F (chemical fertilizer), BF (biobased fertilizer), and BF (biotemporal biochar)-based fertilizer).

The effects of biochar and its applications in the microbial remediation of contaminated soil: A review.
TL;DR: In this article , the positive effects of biochar on microorganisms, including acting as a shelter, providing nutrients, and improving soil conditions, are summarized, which will cause variations in microbial abundance, activity, and community structure.

Sustainable utilization of food waste for bioenergy production: A step towards circular bioeconomy.
Anee Mohanty,Megha Mankoti,Prangya Ranjan Rout,S.S. Meena,Simran Dewan,Bhavya Kalia,Sunita Varjani,Jonathan W C Wong,J. Rajesh Banu +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , a review extensively covers conversion of food waste to generate bioenergy which will help to reduce environmental pollution and facilitate implementation of a circular bioeconomy, and also highlights novel technologies like supercritical fluid extraction, ultra-sonication, pressurized liquid extraction, and microwave assisted extractions that are being employed in food waste management to increase the efficiency of value-added product recovery in an economically viable manner.

Biochar effects on soil biota – A review
Johannes Lehmann,Matthias C. Rillig,Janice E. Thies,Caroline A. Masiello,William C. Hockaday,David E. Crowley +5 more
TL;DR: A review of the literature reveals a significant number of early studies on biochar-type materials as soil amendments either for managing pathogens, as inoculant carriers or for manipulative experiments to sorb signaling compounds or toxins as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A handful of carbon
TL;DR: On the climate change mitigation front, the incorporation of ‘biochar’ into the soil is one idea gaining support, and Johannes Lehmann argues that trapping biomass carbon in this way is more effective than storing it in plants and trees that will one day decompose.
