Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Biochar application increases soil pH, porosity, and water holding capacity and stabilizes soil organic matter through increased soil aggregation as well as reduced soil bulk density and tensile strength.

    “Biochar application increases soil pH, porosity, and water holding capacity (WHC) and stabilizes soil organic matter (OM) through increased soil aggregation as well as reduced soil bulk density (SBD) and tensile strength (Hussain et al. 2016).”
  • Biochar can contribute to improving nutrient retention capacity of soil due to its large surface area, porosity, and presence of both nonpolar and polar surface sites.

    “Biochar can contribute in improving nutrient retention capacity of soil due to its large surface area, porosity, and presence of both nonpolar and polar surface sites (Ahmad et al. 2014;Hussain et al. 2017;Mukherjee et al. 2011;Yu et al. 2018).”

  • Biochar can reduce ortho-P leaching from nutrient-rich soil and influences P availability.

    “So, biochar can reduce ortho-P leaching from nutrient-rich soil and influences P availability (Gul and Whalen 2016;Hussain et al. 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
