Small biochar particles added to coarse sandy subsoil greatly increase water retention and affect hydraulic conductivity

Sandy soils can benefit greatly from the addition of biochar, but the benefits depend on the properties of both the soil and the biochar. This study investigated the role of biochar particle size in controlling pore size distribution, hydraulic conductivity and water retention after careful mixing w...
