Effect of in-situ aged and fresh biochar on soil hydraulic conditions and microbial C use under drought conditions
Abstract Biochar (BC) amendments may be suitable to increase the ecosystems resistance to drought due to their positive effects on soil water retention and availability. We investigated the effect of BC in situ ageing on water availability and microbial parameters of a grassland soil. We used soil c...
