The Potential of Biochar to Enhance the Water Retention Properties of Sandy Agricultural Soils
The impact of climate change has become increasingly severe in drylands, resulting in heat stress and water deficiency and, consequently, reducing agricultural production. Biochar plays an important role in improving soil fertility. The properties of sandy soils where water deficiency occurs with a...
