Abstract:Background
Owing to its unique features, biochar (BC) is an excellent surrogate approach to improve the chemical properties of soil with undesirable characteristics.
Methods.
Under multiple abiotic stresses (ECe = 10.8 vs. 10.7 dS.m−1; CaCO3 = 19.1 vs. 18.8%; soil pH = 8.15 vs. 8.13) during two growing seasons (2020/2021 and 2021/2022), an experimental pot study was conducted to investigate the potential effects of palm tree frond biochar (PTF-BC) applied at three rates (0.0, 28.0, and 56.0 g.pot−1, labeled… Show more
