A critical review on performance indicators for evaluating soil biota and soil health of biochar-amended soils
Mingjing He,Xinni Xiong,Lei Wang,Deyi Hou,Nanthi Bolan,Yong Sik Ok,Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe,Daniel C.W. Tsang +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that soil pH, soil aggregate stability, and soil organic matter are the basic indicators that could influence most of the soil functions, which should be prioritized for measurement and selected based on the soil management targets of biochar application in agricultural soils.

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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable biochar to mitigate global climate change
TL;DR: The maximum sustainable technical potential of biochar to mitigate climate change is estimated, which shows that it has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.
Book ChapterDOI
A review of biochar and its use and function in soil
TL;DR: The potential to sequester carbon as thermally stabilized (charred) biomass using existing organic resource is estimated to be at least 1 Gt/yr − 1 and biochar, defined by its useful application to soil, is expected to provide a benefit from enduring physical and chemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transitional Adsorption and Partition of Nonpolar and Polar Aromatic Contaminants by Biochars of Pine Needles with Different Pyrolytic Temperatures
TL;DR: Biochars, produced by pyrolysis of pine needles at different temperatures, were characterized by elemental analysis, BET-N2 surface areas and FTIR, and Sorption isotherms of naphthalene, nitrobenzene, and m-dinitrobenZene from water to the biochars were compared.
