The specific surface area of biochars ranged from 96.06–110.83 m2 g^–1. Hierarchical analyses of the chemical compositions of feedstocks and biochars enabled grouping of the materials respectively into four and five distinguished clusters. Three principal components (PC) explained 86.8% and 83.3% of the variances in the feedstocks and biochars, respectively. The PC1 represented the content of the major nutrients (N, P and K), whereas PC2 and PC3 represented other nutrients (secondary and micronutrients) contents and physicochemical properties (pH and EC). The results of this study suggested that biochars produced from different manures and biosolids may potentially be a source of soil nutrients and trace elements. In addition, different biochars may be applied to different nutrient-deficient soils to avoid plausible nutrient and potentially toxic element contamination.]]> Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:49:22 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33399 Thu 25 Oct 2018 10:13:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37155 Thu 21 Oct 2021 12:44:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33882 Thiobacillus and a novel group within the Oxalbacteraceae were enriched only on the MEBs and they had the genetic capacity for thiosulfate oxidation. All three surface-enriched bacteria also had the capacity to fix carbon dioxide, either in a potentially strictly autotrophic or mixotrophic manner. Our results show the dominance of chemolithotrophic processes on the surface of biochar and MEB that can contribute to carbon sequestration in soil.]]> Mon 21 Jan 2019 15:50:56 AEDT ]]>
