Evaluating mechanism and inconsistencies in hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soil using newly proposed biochar conductivity factor

Abstract In the past few decades, numerous studies have been conducted to promote the use of biochar as a soil amendment and most recently, for compacted geo-engineered soils. In general, the definite trends of biochar effects on water retention and fertility of soils have been confirmed. However, t...
