...The available peer-reviewed scientific literatures about the biochar are mainly concerned about its application in soil, technical, economical, and climate-related aspects of biochar (Atkinson et al., 2010; Beesley et al., 2011; Duku et al., 2011; Jeffery et al., 2011; Lehmann et al., 2011; Meyer et al., 2011; Manyà, 2012; Ameloot et al., 2013; Gurwick et al., 2013; Stavi and Lal, 2013)....

...An increase in soil pH following biochar application is frequently reported for across many soil types (e.g., Glaser et al., 2002; Ameloot et al., 2013a; Farrell et al., 2013; Masto et al., 2013; Stewart et al., 2013; Chintala et al., 2014b; Xu et al., 2014)....

...This point is supported by Ameloot et al. (2013a), who reported a 47% reduction in dehydrogenase activity with biochar produced at 700 C, and a 73% increase in dehydrogenase activity with biochar produced at 350 C during a 117 days laboratory study....

...It remains unclear, however, to what extent biochar is degraded and what its concomitant effects on native soil organic matter (SOM) turnover and other cascading impacts are (Lehmann et al., 2011; Ameloot et al., 2013; Lorenz & Lal, 2014)....

...Specific surface area varies from a few m2 g−1 to more than 400 m2 g−1 biochar, depending on the feedstock used and pyrolysis conditions (Glaser et al ., 2002; © 2013 The Authors Journal compilation © 2013 British Society of Soil Science, European Journal of Soil Science, 64, 379–390 Hilscher et al…...

...…produced by pyrolysis, with the intent of improving soil functions while mitigating climate change by sequestering C. Research has shown that biochar can increase soil productivity by improving both chemical and physical soil properties (Glaser et al ., 2002; Lehmann, 2007; Jeffery et al ., 2011)....

...One factor that should not be overlooked is the potential of biochar additions to increase soil water holding capacity (WHC) (Glaser et al ., 2002; Verheijen et al ., 2010; Jeffery et al ., 2011; Karhu et al ., 2011), thus increasing the suitability of amended soils as a microbial habitat....

...Sometimes additions can increase the CEC of soils substantially, from 10% to more than 100% of the original CEC, depending on the soil and biochar type and on experimental conditions (Glaser et al ., 2002; Chan et al ., 2008; Steiner et al ., 2008; Van Zwieten et al ., 2010)....
