Effects of Biochar on Cadmium Availability, Nitrification and Microbial Communities in Soils with Varied pH Levels

Effects of Biochar on Cadmium Availability, Nitrification and Microbial Communities in Soils with Varied pH Levels

Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses severe threats to agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. Biochar has shown promise in immobilizing Cd and enhancing microbial functions, yet its pH-dependent mechanisms remain underexplored. This study aimed to elucidate pH-dependent variations in biochar-me...
