#FEMSmicroBlog: Biochar in sandy soils impact microbiome communities

Sarah Wettstadt
Healthy soils are the backbone of sustainable agriculture and climate action. Yet, coarse sandy soils, common in many regions, pose a challenge. They drain water and nutrients too quickly, leaving crops thirsty and reducing yields. Improving these soils is critical for food security and carbon sequestration. The study “Effect of biochar on extracellular enzyme activity […] The post #FEMSmicroBlog: Biochar in sandy soils impact microbiome communities appeared first on FEMS .
