Effects of pyrolysis temperature, feedstock type and compaction on water retention of biochar amended soil

Abstract Recent studies on water retention behaviour of biochar amended soil rarely considers the effect of pyrolysis temperature and also feedstock type into account. It is well known that pyrolysis temperature and feedstock type influences the physical and chemical properties of biochar due to sta...
