“…Secondly, labile fractions of carbon contained in biochar may constitute readily available substrates for the population of microorganisms, and the alkalising effect of biochar may improve the circulation of nutrients (Paz-Ferreiro et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2013). Biochar may also contain harmful substances, such as heavy metals and PAHs and adversely affect the activity of soil microorganisms, including their enzymatic activity Oleszczuk et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2013). The study demonstrated that the addition of WS and MS before and after thermal conversion reduced the dehydrogenase activity (Fig.…”

“…It was also found that C and N were mostly used by soil microorganisms in the soil with 2.25 t ha -1 of wheat straw biochar. The enzymatic activity of soil is considered the most important indicator allowing monitoring of the effect of farming, agricultural practices, and the presence of contaminants on the soil condition (Oleszczuk et al, 2014). Enzymatic activity also reflects the indirect capability of contaminated soil of self-purification (Cui et al, 2013).…”

“…Depending on the substrates used in the production of biochar and on the conditions of the pyrolysis process, the addition of biochar to soil may have a positive or negative impact on living organisms (Oleszczuk et al, 2014; Fig. 1.…”

“…. Toxic factors may be not only biochar parameters, such as pH, EC, elemental composition, the presence of organic and inorganic contaminants, but also the result of their interactions with soil Oleszczuk et al, 2014). The response of organisms to potential contaminants in the soil depends on not only the properties of the material itself, but also the sensitivity of the tested organism.…”

“…Many scientists emphasised the necessity to perform ecotoxicological tests of biochars before and after their application into soil in order to assess directly their effect on soil organisms Joseph 2015, MierzwaHersztek et al, 2016;Oleszczuk et al, 2014). Kołtowski et al (2016) reported that the ecotoxicity of soils depend on the parameters, type of biochar, contaminant source, and soil type.…”

The variety of technological conditions and raw materials from which biochar is produced is the reason why its soil application may have different effects on soil properties and plant growth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of wheat straw andMiscanthus giganteusstraw (5 t DM ha−1) and biochar obtained from this materials in doses of 2.25 and 5 t DM ha−1on soil enzymatic activity, soil ecotoxicity, and plant yield (perennial grass mixture with red clover). The research was carried out under field conditions on soil with the granulometric composition of loamy sand. No significant effect of biochar amendment on soil enzymatic activity was observed. The biochar-amended soil was toxic toVibrio fischeriand exhibited low toxicity toHeterocypris incongruens. Application of wheat straw biochar andM. giganteusstraw biochar in a dose of 5 t DM ha−1contributed to an increase in plant biomass production by 2 and 14%, respectively, compared to the soil with mineral fertilisation. Biochars had a more adverse effect on soil enzymatic activity and soil ecotoxicity toH. incongruensandV. fischerithan non-converted wheat straw andM. giganteusstraw, but significantly increased the grass crop yield.

Production of biochar from sewage sludge may be a promising solution for sewage sludge management and improvement of soil properties, including carbon dioxide sequestration. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of biochars derived from different sewage sludges on soil physicochemical and biological properties, ecotoxicity, and plant yield. Three biochars (produced at a temperature of 300 °C) were applied into sandy acid soil in doses of 0.5, 1, and 2% (w/w). Depending on the type and dose, the application of sewage sludge biochars into the soil caused diverse effects on the parameters of soil biological activity (microbial biomass [Cmic], soil respiration, and value of metabolic quotient). No correlation between the applied dose of biochars and inhibition of Vibrio fischeri luminescence was observed. The factor with a stronger impact on the activity of V. fischeri was the type of biochar. The use of the OSTRACODTOXKIT F test (MicroBioTests) showed that the addition of sewage sludge biochar (regardless of its dose) reduced the soil toxicity to Heterocypris incongruens compared with the control soil. A significant increase of Poa pratensis L. biomass was obtained in soils with 1 and 2% additions of each of the biochars. The addition of biochars in doses of 1 and 2% to the soil had greater effect on the content of mobile forms of Cu, Pb, and Cd than the 0.5% dose compared with the control.
