• How biochar works, and when it doesn't: A review of mechanisms controlling soil and plant responses to biochar 

      Joseph, Stephen; Cowie, Annette L.; Van Zwieten, Lukas; Bolan, Nanthi; Budai, Alice Erzebet; Buss, Wolfram; Cayuela, Maria Luz; Graber, Ellen R.; Ippolito, James A.; Kuzyakov, Yakov; Luo, Yu; Ok, Yong Sik; Palansooriya, Kumuduni N.; Shepherd, Jessica; Stephens, Scott; Weng, Zhe (Han); Lehmann, Johannes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07-27)
      We synthesized 20 years of research to explain the interrelated processes that determine soil and plant responses to biochar. The properties of biochar and its effects within agricultural ecosystems largely depend on ...
    • Microscale spatial distribution and soil organic matter persistence in top and subsoil 

      Inagaki, Thiago Massao; Possinger, Angela R.; Schweizer, Steffen A.; Mueller, Carsten W.; Hoeschen, Carmen; Zachman, Michael J.; Kourkoutis, Lena F.; Kögel-Knabner, Ingrid; Lehmann, Johannes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-01-10)
      The spatial distribution of organic substrates and microscale soil heterogeneity significantly influence organic matter (OM) persistence as constraints on OM accessibility to microorganisms. However, it is unclear how ...
