A mycorrhizal fungus grows on biochar and captures phosphorus from its surfaces (2014, unknown): “, 2013); and provision of shelter against fungivore grazing (Thies and Rillig, 2009; Ogawa and Okimori, 2010).”
Biochar effects on soil biota – A review (2011, background): “Both bacteria and fungi are hypothesized to be better protected against grazers or competitors by exploring pore habitats in biochars (Ogawa, 1994; Ezawa et al., 2002; Saito and Marumoto, 2002; Thies and Rillig, 2009).”
Biological, physicochemical and plant health responses in lettuce and strawberry in soil or peat amended with biochar (2016, unknown): “The following hypotheses have been suggested: (1) Biochar could provide an additional habitat for bacteria and fungi (Ezawa et al., 2002; Thies and Rillig, 2009) and may provide places of refuge for fungal grazers for microbes (Warnock et al., 2007), (2) Biochar may interfere with microbial…”
Biochar in bioenergy cropping systems: impacts on soil faunal communities and linked ecosystem processes (2013, background): “The quantity of labile soil organic carbon and the C : N ratio of the soil are markedly different where biochar has been recently applied compared with historically char-amended soils (i.e. Terra Preta soils) (Thies & Rillig, 2009).”
