Probing the toxicity of hydrothermal carbonised wastes on soil biota: Effect of reaction temperature and feedstock

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: suggesting microbial stress, hydrochars generally increased phospholipid fatty acids (bacteria and fungi), soil respiration, enzyme activities and N mineralisation. Findings reveal that while higher temperature hydrochars are highly toxic to earthworms, they do not adversely affect overall soil microbial health.
