biochar

05/20/2021 - "However, thermal treatment of cow dung biochar substantially improved its LC50 and decreased earthworm weight loss, implying that the PAHs in this biochar might be damage factors and that heating could reduce the potential toxicity of biochar. "
09/01/2023 - "Litter bags containing biochar were inserted into two aerated horizontal subsurface flow CWs (350 m2 each), and retrieved on several dates (8-775 days after burial) for assessment of weight loss/gain and changes in biochar characteristics. "
04/15/2023 - "The TGA showed that BCM lost 93.8 wt% while BCMFe was more thermally stable due to the inorganic species on the biochar surface, with a weight loss of 78.6%. "
05/01/2022 - "Consequently, a reduction in the mortality and weight loss of earthworms was also achieved by biochar. "
02/01/2022 - "fetida did not change significantly with the addition of 2% biochar, adding the highest biochar percentage (5%) resulted in a survival rate that was ~2-fold lower and a weight loss that was 2.5-fold higher than the other treatments. "

10/20/2022 - "Moreover, the higher water availability in soil amended with biochar helped B trees to tolerate water stress, with better leaf photosynthetic performances and a faster recovery than stressed controls after the re-watering. "
01/01/2022 - "The present study is to investigate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar on root morphological traits, growth, and physiological traits in soybean under water stress. "
10/10/2020 - "In this study, we investigated the effects of biochar on soil properties and plant growth under extreme water stress conditions. "
02/08/2023 - "Further, the residues after dehydration were prepared into biochar by thermochemical conversion and the BET surface area of biochar was 1749.46 m2/g which has good application prospect in soil improvement and alleviates obstacles of IIR continuous cropping."
03/25/2022 - "Based on the ultimate analysis, the H/C and O/C atomic ratios of biochar were lower than the feedstock, reflecting the occurrence of dehydration and decarboxylation reactions throughout the pyrolysis. "

01/01/2022 - "When the biochar application rate was higher than 0.6 t/ha, the incremental lifetime cancer risk value for human exposure to biochar-borne PAHs through the biochar-amended soil was over 10-6, suggesting carcinogenic risks. "
06/01/2019 - "Risk assessment showed that biochar amendments markedly (p < 0.01) decreased the hazard quotient (HQ) indices and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILTR) values for OCPs associated with the consumption of vegetables. "
07/01/2014 - "Application of biochar to soil reduces cancer risk via rice consumption: a case study in Miaoqian village, Longyan, China."
03/01/2014 - "The objectives of the study were the identification of the source of contamination of soils and estimation of the potential cancer risk that may be caused by contact with soils situated in the vicinity of biochar production sites. "
01/01/2019 - "These results indicated that biochar amendment in soils might pose potential risks to food safety and human health, but the overall cancer risks through exposure to biochar-borne PAHs in soils and food crops were low. "

01/01/2023 - "Corncob biochar supplementation significantly improved daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio of the rams. "
12/01/2022 - "Results showed that poultry waste biochar (test diet-IV) at 2 mg/kg was the best source to significantly (P < 0.05) improve weight gain % (256.58 %) and feed conversion ratio (1.19) than the other biochar sources and control diet. "
11/27/2021 - "Fewer surviving larvae in the biochar treatment groups may contribute to the lack of significance found in the comparison of weight gain at day 24 in each experiment."
11/27/2021 - "In the experiment with biochar incorporated into the diet, mean larval weight at day 12 was highest in the low (10%) biochar treatment compared to all other treatments, although weight gain was only significantly different between the low- and high-concentration (40%) biochar treatments. "
11/27/2021 - "In the surface-applied biochar experiment, there was a significant difference in larval weight gain at day 12 between the control and 10 mg biochar treatments. "

01/01/2022 - "These changes stimulated by biochar amendments would promote multifunctionality in the soil rhizosphere and benefit plant growth and disease resistance."
01/01/2021 - "Application of biochar improved soil properties, pepper plant nutrition and increased activities of enzymes related to pest/disease resistance, leading to superior physiological performance and lesser F. "
01/01/2016 - "Adding biochar, the solid coproduct of biofuel production, to peat can enhance strawberry growth, and disease resistance against the airborne fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. "
