“…Inyang et al [127], for example, reported Pb, Ni, Cd and Cr absorption capacities by biochar to be 2.4-147, 19.2-33.4, 0.3-39.1, and 3.0-123 mg/g, respectively, highlighting the contribution of this material to soil sorption when present. According to Pingree et al [128], as the temperature at which charcoal in soil is formed increases, the absorption capacity of the produced charcoal increases. Fires of high intensity, especially under poorly aerated conditions, could therefore increase soil sorption capacity due to the formation of biochar.…”
