Roles of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter in soil amendment and environmental remediation: A critical review
Abstract
Abstract Biochar is an emerging, cost-effective, and renewable carbonaceous material with abundant functional groups and tuneable mesoporous structure, showing a promising performance in fertility improvement, nutrient retention, microbial activity enhancement, and contaminant immobilization, etc. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from biochar, which can be readily mobilized during soil application, is a key component for the soil matrix, microbial community, and the fate of contaminants. Comprehensive assessments of both positive and negative effects of biochar-derived DOM present critical environmental implications. This paper is the first of its kind to critically review the compositions and structures of biochar-derived DOM as well as its multiple roles in soil application. The effects of biochar-derived DOM on stabilization or migration/mobilization of contaminants/nutrients, as well as stimulation or inhibition of microbial activity and plant growth, depend on the nature of biochar-derived DOM, pollutant properties, soil characteristics, and environmental conditions including weather and hydrological conditions. The long-term stability of biochar-derived DOM is vital during soil application and involves various interactions such as physical disintegration, infiltration, sorption, and biotic/abiotic oxidation. Further studies of biochar-derived DOM are necessary for us to understand the fate of DOM and minimize the ecological and environmental risks (e.g., toxicity, competitive sorption, blockage effect, and solubilization) of biochar application.

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.
