Multifunctional applications of biochar beyond carbon storage (2021, background): “an increase in soil biodiversity, increase in beneficial microorganisms, induction of plant resistance by biochar-borne chemicals or biochar-induced microorganisms, account for pathogen suppression [194,195].”
Biological, physicochemical and plant health responses in lettuce and strawberry in soil or peat amended with biochar (2016, unknown): “Previously, it has been described that biochar can alter the microbial composition of bulk soil, but the factors that drive these changes in microbial composition are still unknown (Graber et al., 2014a).”
Induced systemic resistance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) against Botrytis cinerea by biochar amendment involves jasmonic acid signaling (2015, unknown): “This supports the suggestion that the rhizosphere microbiome has an important function in biochar-mediated impacts on plant defenses (Graber et al. 2014a), but other modes of action cannot be ruled out.”
