Table 2 Evaluation of soil Texture changes induced by biochar and manure treatment: Observations from Recent studies.
Study | Treatment studies | Soil type | Findings | Comparison with the current study |
|---|---|---|---|---|
73[98] | Biochar and different amendments | Paddy soils | Improved organic carbon, increased soil pH, and reduced heavy metal absorption | Our study explores the seasonal impacts (Rabi and Kharif), nitrogen retention, with microbial distribution |
74[99] | Impact of biochar | Sandy subsoil | Increase in water holding capacity | Our study highlighted the use of SEM–EDX-based changes due to the addition of manure |
75[100] | Biochar and Pig Manure | Light loamy fluvo-aquic soil | Regulation of soil pH and nutrient availability | Our study correlated the major phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Chloroflexi with nutrient availability |
76[101] | Biochar (Hardwood and Softwood) | Semi-arid soils | Decreased bulk density and increased water capacity | Synergetic impact of biochar and poultry manure on improving bulk density, moisture content, and water holding capacity |
77[102] | Rice Biochar | Semi-arid regions | Carbon and Nitrogen sequestration | Unique microbial analysis and seasonal soil treatment interaction have not been deeply explored in previous studies |
