Title: Biochar and Its Influence on Soil Environment
Abstract: The basic characteristics and the environmental effect of biochar were summarized,as well as its effects on soil physical and chemical properties,microbial quantity and the diversity of population structure. Biochar application into soil can improve the adsorption ability of soil moisture and nutrients,increase the soil water holding capacity and nutrient availability,delay the release of nutrients,and then increase the soil preserving fertilizer ability as well as nutrient utilization efficiency. The characteristics of biochar also provide living place and nutrients for soil microorganism,so as to improve the number of soil microorganisms. The difference of carbon source provided by different biochar types will cause the changes of structure and diversity of soil microbial community. The problems that should be noticed in the process of biochar research were prospected.
