Abstract:Sandy soils have high hydraulic conductivity and low retention ability for water and nutrients, resulting in low fertility. As water retention of coarse-textured soil is substantially more sensitive to the amount of organic carbon than fine-textured soils, the amendment of sandy soils with biochar is often used. The objective of this study was to find the effect of water-repellent and wettable biochar addition on the porosity, P, saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, soil water retention curves, SWRC, plant av… Show more
