Investigation of interaction effects of biochars and silicon on growth and chemical composition of Zea mays L. in a Ni-polluted calcareous soil
Abstract Biochars are cost effective, carbonaceous amendments that can immobilize potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils. Application of silicon (Si) has been shown to mitigate the effect of soil PTEs on plants. Studies on the interaction effects of Si and biochars in PTE-contaminated soils are...
