Description
Jiabin Wei, Lang Zhang and their co-authors test pure biochar in plantation soil under forest understory conditions in 2024. Biochar from rice husks may store carbon in soil, but its solo effects are hard to split from fertilizer and plant effects.
Over two years, plots got varied biochar amounts with no extra farming or feeding. Biochar raised soil organic carbon and its density, boosting carbon storage. Yet it also raised the share of tiny aggregates and shrank larger ones, which hurt soil stability. The authors say biochar's own inert carbon drove the gain, and roots are needed to build stable large aggregates.
