Biochar’s effect on the soil carbon cycle: a rapid review and meta-analysis

Abstract

•	Meta-analyses revealed the impact of biochar on three key elements (C sequestration, total CO2 flux, and total microbial respiration) of the soil carbon cycle.
•	Biochar increases soil carbon sequestration significantly.
•	The effect of biochar wasn’t significant for total microbial respiration and total CO2 flux responses.
