“…Biochar, the product of different biomasses can provide an alternative sources of long-term C storage in soil to minimize climate variation by an enhancement in the biogenic C collection, decrease greenhouse gas emissions (Ubando et al 2014), restore soil fertility (Novak and Busscher 2013), amend soil physical properties such as pH, pore structure, surface area, and mineral matter (Jaafar et al 2014), enhance crop yield and productivity (Chintala et al 2014;Lashari et al 2014), and reduce N emission and leaching (Spokas et al 2012). Examples of the specific biochar properties accounted for these benefits are summarized in Table 1.…”

Biochar simply is the material produced when biomass undergoes any chemical processes under the conditions of pyrolysis. The variety of biomasses, including wood waste, agricultural crop leftover, organic waste, animal manure, and forestry residues, have been considered as raw material to produce biochar. Biochar is widely used for generation of heat and power and an addition to soils, in which it serves as a fertilizer and carbon sequestration agent. Also in the form of being activated, it finds significant role for various adsorption applications. The most beneficial use of a given char depends on its physical and chemical characteristics, even though the relationship of char properties to these applications is not well defined. Various widely used modern analytical techniques, which are applicable and crucial for biochar characterization, have been reviewed in the present work, such as solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-rays photoelectron spectroscopy, X-rays diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, near edge X-rays absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Utilization of these modern techniques provides the quantitative as well as qualitative information, i.e., determining the sizes, shapes, and physicochemical characteristics of biochar, which is reliable to track changes in the carbon arrangement over reaction time and temperature, and will be useful for efficient production of biochar and application. It provides the useful information for the researchers in this area and is beneficial not only for the effective biochar production, but also for potential utilization/application, and not only for environment but also for agriculture.

“…Lashari et al (2015) suggested that biochar might contain significant amounts of soluble P and K, contributing to plant-available nutrient pools upon incorporation in the soil. Although addition of urea N has been reported to enhance soil acidification in the microsites, application of biochar can buffer the N acidification effect and minimise pH changes (Xie et al 2013).…”

“…Particularly, if biochar, a stable C-rich solid residue, is returned to the same field where residues would have been removed for pyrolysis, this process may return many nutrients, and improve soil properties such as soil bulk density, water holding and cation exchange capacity, favouring the retention of water and nutrients (Zheng et al 2013). Further, biochar application together with chemical fertilizers has been shown to increase agronomic benefits in terms of crop production especially in soils with low fertility, either by acting as a direct source of nutrients or by enhancing nutrient availability due to improvements in soil physical, chemical and biological properties (Lashari et al 2015). For example, combined application of biochar and N fertilizer has been found to have positive impacts on soil functions, and crop N uptake and productivity (Laird et al 2010;Jeffery et al 2011;Lori et al, 2013).…”

There is limited understanding of the effects of rice residue biochar, particularly when applied in combination with nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soil fertility, soil C sequestration and crop productivity. A one-year pot experiment was established to examine effects of rice residue biochar (0, 10, 20 and 40 t ha -1 ) and N (0, 60, 90, 120 and 150 kg N ha -1 ) in soils with contrasting texture (loamy sand and sandy clay loam) in a wheat-maize cropping sequence. Biochar was only applied once before sowing wheat. Biochar alone or in combination with N did not significantly increase wheat biomass in both soils, whereas biomass of maize (next crop) was significantly increased from the residual effect of biochar, alone or in combination with N fertilizer. In both soils, electrical conductivity (EC) and pH, oxidisable organic carbon (OC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and available nutrients (NPK) increased with increasing rates of biochar addition. However, addition of N with biochar (cf. biochar alone) did not change pH and oxidisable OC values but increased EC significantly. After one year, the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks increased beyond the input of biochar-C, that is, by 0.1-2.1 t ha -1 and 1.8-4.8 t ha -1 in loamy sand and sandy clay loam, respectively, across all treatments. It may be concluded that the potential benefits of rice residue biochar to soil functions and crop production may encourage growers to minimise open field burning of straw, which is a common practice in the region.

“…production. There were increasing evidences suggested that biochar application could help combat salinity stress to plant and improve productivity in saline croplands (Drake et al, 2015;Lashari et al, 2015;Hammer et al, 2014). Akhtar et al (2015) have reported that incorporation of biochar into salt-affected soil could alleviate salinity stress mainly because of its high salt adsorption potential, decreasing osmotic stress by enhancing soil moisture content, and releasing mineral nutrients.…”

• Lower pyrolysis temperature (b 400°C) biochar retained P availability and increased plant growth.• Negative (antagonistic) interaction occurred between biochar and P fertilization on the biomass production and plant P concentration • Very limited utility value of biochar application occurred in saline sodic soil. G R A P H I C A L A B S T R A C TThe growth of Suaeda salsa in biochar amended saline sodic soils with (P 1 ) or without (P 0 ) P fertilization.a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o Little is known about the interactive effects between biochar application and phosphorus (P) fertilization on plant growth and P uptake. For this purpose, five wheat straw biochars (produced at 25°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C and 600°C for 4 h) with equal P (36 mg kg −1 ) amount, with and without additional P fertilization (100 mg kg) were applied in a pot experiment to investigate the growth of Suaeda salsa and their uptake of P from biochar and P fertilization amended saline sodic soil. Soil P fractions, dry matter yield, and plant P concentrations were determined after harvesting 90 days. Our results confirmed that relatively lower pyrolysis temperature (b400°C) biochar retained P availability and increased plant growth. The plant P concentration was significantly correlated with NaHCO 3 -P i (P b 0.05), and NaOH-P i (P b 0.1) during early incubation time (4 days) for biochar amended soil. As revealed by statistical analysis, a significant (P b 0.05) negative (antagonistic) interaction occurred between biochar and P fertilization on the biomass production and plant P concentration. For plant biomass, the effects size of biochar (B), P, and their interaction followed the order of B × P (0.819) N B (0.569) ≈ P (0.568) based on the partial Eta squared values whereas the order changed as P (0.782) N B (0.562) N B × P (0.515) for plant P concentration. When biochar and P fertilization applied together, phosphate precipitation/sorption reaction occurred in saline sodic soil which explained the decreased plant P Contents lists available at ScienceDirectScience of the Total Environment j o u r n a l h o m e p a g e : w w w . e l s e v i e r . c o m / l o c a t e / s c i t o t e n v availability and plant yield in saline sodic soil.
