The influence of biochar on the content of carbon and the chemical transformations of fallow and grassland humic acids

Abstract There is limited information regarding the effect of biochar (BioC) on the fertility of fallow and grassland soils, as well as on the properties of their humic acids (HAs). The objective of this study was to evaluate with a 3-year field experiment the influence of BioC on the organic matter...
