Greenhouse experiment shows biochar boosts microbial biomass and alters soil community structure.

Biochar significantly alters the composition of the soil microbial community, promoting important taxa.
The treatment of soil with biochar increased the relative abundance of Actinobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes.
Analyses of microbial diversity using 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed shifts in taxa due to biochar amendments.
Despite overall microbial diversity decreasing, certain keystone species thrived in biochar-amended soils.

Wu et al. (2025) studied this question.
