Effects of soil type and biochar rate on sweet pepper productivity and microbial dynamics in regenerative organic soils

Biochar is widely used to improve crop productivity and soil health; however, its adoption remains limited due to insufficient quantification of benefits and unclear mechanisms, particularly within regenerative organic systems. We conducted a pot experiment applying biochar at 0 (control), 11.2, and 22.4 Mg ha⁻¹ to san...
