“…In general, structural and compositional differences in soil microbiota can be related to biochar (feedstock, pyrolysis condition, application rate), soil (pH, OC, temperature, moisture, aeration), environmental factors (vegetation, land use, management intensity, herbicide action), and physicochemical characteristics of herbicides [ 47 , 48 ]. In the present study, biochar mitigated the negative impact of metribuzin on soil microbial community, and these effects may be related to increased microbiota through interaction mechanisms with biochar, such as physical-chemical structure (macro and micropores, surface area, nutrient content, organic substances, and enzymatic activity) and increased sorption, reducing bioavailability and toxicity to soil microbiota [ 24 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. In the study by Mielke et al [ 24 ], it was reported that the use of application rates of 1% and 1.5% of BC350 °C, BC550 °C, and BC750 °C improved soil fertility, making P, K, Mg, Fe, and Mn available, reducing potential acidity (H + Al), and increasing soil pH with less impact on metribuzin sorption and desorption.…”
